Nozomu Shimizu Leads After Day 1 of Event #22: $10,000 Limit Hold’em Championship
Livello 10
: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 0 ante
Day 1 of Event #22: $10,000 Limit Hold’em Championship at the 2023 World Series of Poker at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, has come to an end with Nozomu Shimizu emerging as chip leader after bagging 334,000 in chips. The only other player to cross the 300,000 mark was Kevin Song, who bagged up 322,000 for Day 2.
Shimizu is coming fresh off a third-place finish from Event #12: $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em Freezout, where he won $287,106 a few short days ago. The Japan native also took down an EPT No-Limit Hold'em Hyper Turbo event earlier this year and is currently poised to continue his hot run in 2023.

Three ways on a flop of J♥Q♦5♦, Cary Katz bet from the small blind and was called by AJ Kelsall in the hijack and another player on the button.
Katz continued betting on the 4♥ turn and this time only the button called.
The 2♣ completed the board and Katz bet once more. The button called and Katz tabled A♣A♦, which got a muck from his opponent.

Shimizu Continues to Climb
Livello 10
: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 0 ante
Nozomu Shimizu raised from the cutoff and action folded to Mori Eskandani in the small blind, who made it three bets to go. It was folded back around to Shimizu, who called.
Shimizu called a bet from Eskandani on the A♣8♣8♠ flop and both players checked on the 5♥ turn.
Eskandani checked once more when the 5♣ completed and double-paired the board. Shimizu bet, Eskandani called, and Shimizu showed him A♥5♦ for fives-full of aces.
Eskandani couldn't beat it and mucked — awarding the pot to Shimizu.
