Event #74: $1,000 Mini Main Event Kicks Off at 10 a.m.
The 2023 World Series of Poker continues at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas today with Event #74: $1,000 Mini Main Event at 10 a.m. local time. The Mini Main Event is the precursor to the Main Event with a similar structure and format to the latter. A massive field is to be expected as all players compete for the top prize and bracelet that await the winner.
The reigning champion is the United States own Young Sik who beat a field of 5,833 entrants to claim the first-place prize of $594,189 as well as his first WSOP bracelet. If trends from this year's WSOP continue, then the entrants and prize pool will dwarf last year's numbers as many records have been broken thus far by the series.

Fortelka Shows A Set
Livello 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
The under-the-gun player raised to 1,000 and got called by Brian Fortelka in early position and PokerNews' own Mike Patrick in the big blind leading to a A♦Q♠3♥ flop.
Patrick checked and the player under the gun continued with a bet of 900 with Fortelka calling behind.
Patrick came in for a check-raise to 3,100 and both other players called to see the 6♠ turn.
Patrick led into his two opponents and the player under the gun folded with Fortelka calling to see the river come the 10♦.
Patrick led again, this time for 6,500. Fortelka wasn't done building the pot, though, and put out a raise to 17,000.
Patrick folded and Fortelka showed Q♦Q♥ to show he wasn't messing around as he pulled in a good sized pot early.
