Neal Gets the Shove Through

Livello 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Action folded to the cutoff who raised to 300,000. Ronald Neal was on the button with 900,000 behind and opted to wager all of his chips. The blinds folded and with action back on the cutoff he took a moment and then sent his cards to the muck. Neal would drag the pot and keep his tournament alive.

Its worth noting that this is Neal's third year in a row cashing the WSOP Seniors Championship. Neal finished 69th in 2021 and 453rd in 2022. Neal has already locked up at least a top 40 finish this year and a minimum cash of $19,997. Will this years run end in a Final table?

Action folded to day 2 chip leader Leonard Clementi in middle position who went all in for 650,000. It folded to seven time bracelet winner Billy Baxter in the small blind who also jammed. The big blind folded and the cards hit their backs.

Leonard Clementi: K♠Q♦
Billy Baxter: 10♦10♠

The 8♠J♥2♣ flop was clean for Baxter but the Q♥ turn left him drawing to two outs. Right on time the 10♣ hit on the river and Baxter would send Clementi to the rail after an impressive showing.

Michaud Flopped the World, then Drawing Dead on Turn

Livello 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

There was 540,000 in the middle on a flop of Q♣J♠9♠ and Rudolf Fourie from the cutoff fended up all in for 3,030,000 after raising battle and was called by David Michaud on the button.

Both players hit the flop hard. Fourie hit bottom set, while Michaud flopped the nut straight. Fourie was distraught at the sight of the straight, but after two seconds of processing time roared with delight when he saw the Q♦ hit the turn to give them a full house.

The 6♥ completed the board and Fourie was in a state of shock and disbelief dragging in the massive pot.

Negreanu Proposes Changes to the Poker Hall of Fame Induction Process

Livello 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

With its ever-growing backlog of deserving players and industry professionals waiting for their time to be inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame, some players are calling for changes to the nomination and induction process.

One of those players is Daniel Negreanu, poker's biggest ambassador and himself a member of the Poker Hall of Fame who was inducted in 2014. Negreanu has long called for overhauls to the Poker Hall of Fame nomination process and renewed his calls this week on his daily vlog during the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP).

"How I would fix the Hall of Fame is this: every single year, two players get in — players, not contributors," Negreanu told his vlog viewers. "Every single year, two players get in. Every third year ... we add an additional third person who is a contributor to the game. That would be the Isai Scheinbergs and the Matt Savages of the world. Every three years, one of them would get in. That way, we don't have to constantly compare apples to oranges."

Button: K♠K♥
Gordon Eng: J♣J♥

There was concerns for the button at the turn as the board double paired with 5♦5♠4♠4♥, but the J♦ left the button stunned and Eng jubilant as he spiked the two-outer to send the shocked button to the pay cage.
