Morgan Petro Leads Day 1c of Lucky 7's No-Limit Hold'em

Livello 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Day 1c of Event #77: $777 Lucky 7's No-Limit Hold'em at the 2023 World Series of Poker drew thousands of players to the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas with the hopes of moving one step closer to the $777,777 first-place guarantee and a WSOP bracelet. The end of play saw 153 players bag and advance to Day 2.

Today's field of 3,444 entrants, which maintained the increase in the pace of around 1,000 additional players each day, added $2,354,869 to the prize pool, that now stands unofficially at $4,991,449, with the official prize pool being announced at the beginning of Day 2.

WSOP ring winner Morgan Petro ended the day at the top of the counts after bagging a field-leading 3,100,000 chips. Petro, who has lifetime WSOP earnings of $90,244, holds the lead over two-time bracelet winner Shawn Daniels, who bagged 2,945,000 for the second biggest stack. Japan’s Toshimasa Sakato was close behind, securing third place with 2,360,000.

End of Day 1c Top 10 Chip Counts

Rank	Player	Country	Chip Count	Big Blinds
1	Morgan Petro	United States	3,100,000	78
2	Shawn Daniels	United States	2,945,000	74
3	Toshimasa Sakato	Japan	2,360,000	59

9	Bienvenido Sanchez	Spain	1,970,000	49
10	David Miscikowski	United States	1,940,000	49

The fast structure of the event saw a number of notable players make early exits, including two-time bracelet winner Justin Saliba, two-time bracelet winner and former WSOP Player of the Year Erick Lindgren, and bracelet winner Dietrich Fast.

In what would normally take only a few hands, bubble play anomalously took close to an hour due to approximately 10 players surviving their all-ins. However, once it finally did burst, 517 players received a minimum of $1,244.

Players surviving the bubble but failing to advance to Day 2 included three-time bracelet winner Kristen Foxen, Starcraft pro and popular streamer Yohwan Lim, and two-time bracelet winner Calvin Anderson.

All three of the Day 1 flights will combine for Day 2 on Monday, July 10th at 10:00 a.m. local time, with levels moving to 40 minutes long, as opposed to the 30-minute levels of Day 1.

As always, keep it right here at PokerNews for continued live coverage of this exciting bracelet-awarding event.

Miskovic Scores the Elimination, Crosses 1-Million Chip Mark

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

The pot was raised to 50,000 by a player on the button and Novica Miskovic called from the small blind. The player in the big blind then squeezed all-in for 235,000, with only Miskovic making the call.

Big Blind Player: A♥4♥
Novica Miskovic: 6♥6♣

The big blind player would need to catch up to Miskovic's pair by spiking an ace, but that window was slowly closing on the 5♠7♠10♠ flop.

The turn 10♥ did bring some more outs, as the big blind player could now win with an ace or seven, but the 3♦ on the river would lock up the elimination for Miskovic and send the big blind player to the payout desk.

Ding Scores Cooler to Cross 1-Million Chip Mark

Livello 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Yuze Ding raised to 25,000 from middle position and a player on the button three-bet to 80,000.

Ding then responded with an all-in and got the quick call.

Button Player: A♥K♣
Yuze Ding: A♦A♣

The player on the button was well behind the aces of Ding, but would flop a pair of kings on the K♦8♥7♥ board.

However, the second king would not make an appearance on the final runout of 7♥8♥K♦9♠Q♥, sending Ding's opponent to the rail.

A player in the small blind moved all in and was called by Alexane Najchaus in the big blind.

Alexane Najchaus: J♠J♣
Small Blind: 9♥7♣

Although Najchaus' opponent would flop a pair on the 3♠A♠7♥ board, he would still need to play catch-up to survive.

"Finally, an easy call for once," Najchaus said.
