Leonard Clementi Bags Massive Chip Lead on Day 2 of the Seniors Championship

Livello 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Event #48: $1,000 Seniors Championship at the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) saw 1,624 runners make it back for Day 2. Only 1,227 players would be eligible for the $1,607 min-cash and the bubble would burst at about 1 p.m. on a hand by James Clarke where his ace-nine would hold against Dennis Otto’s king-three.

After ten levels of play, 217 players remained and have locked up a $5,138 cash. Leonard Clementi bagged the chip lead with 4,200,000. Others to bag big stacks were Chun Li (3,165,000), David Palm (2,335,000), James Clarke (2,250,000), and Bryant Morrison (2,055,000).

Top Ten Chip Counts

2	Chun Li	United States	3,165,000	127
3	David Palm	United States	2,335,000	93
4	James Clarke	United Kingdom	2,250,000	90

9	Jeff Banghart	United States	1,980,000	79
10	Randi Singer	United States	1,975,000	79

Some other notable names to make it through to Day 3 were Victor Ramdin (1,005,000) Mike Matusow (250,000), Allen Kessler (105,000), and JJ Liu (145,000).

As for Ramdin who has multiple deep WSOP runs, he will go into Day 3 with a very healthy stack despite making a big lay-down in a hand late on Day 2 that he would find out was a stone-cold bluff.

Unfortunately, not everyone was so fortunate. Among those to bust on Day 2 were Barry Greenstein, Richard Ashby, Jeff Lisandro, Barny Boatman, and Brendan Byrne.

Players that bagged for Day 3 of the Seniors Championship will return on Saturday, June 24th, at 10 a.m. local time and play another ten levels. Day 4 will play down to five players, with the final table on Day 5 of the event (Sunday).

Sun Run Brings Aces Galore

Livello 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

A player in middle position went all in for just under 200,000 and was called by Rob Sun in the big blind.

"Anyone wanna guess?", asked Sun, and the whole table knew the answer...

Middle Position: A♣Q♠
Rob Sun: A♦A♠

The board ran out 6♣8♠10♦A♥6♠ and Sun took the pot.

The tabled confirmed — it was the 8th time Sun had been dealt aces today.

Coyle Makes it to Showdown

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

There was an open from the cutoff to 45,000. Action folded to Jim Coyle in the big blind who made the call.

The Q♦5♠7♣ hit the flop and Coyle checked it over to the cutoff who put out a bet of 50,000. Coyle called.

The turn brought a 3♠ and action checked through. The 10♠ river landed and action quickly checked through again.

Coyle heard his opponent say "I have a pair of fives" as he turned over A♣5♣ and Coyle quickly rolled over K♠7♠ for a better pair to drag the pot.
