Patrick Truong

Mark Seif called from the big blind as Patrick Truong raised to 525,000. Seif made the call as both players headed to the flop.

The flop came 2?K?4? as Seif was quick to check. Truong led out for 300,000 and received a call from Seif.

As the A? peeled off on the turn, Seif again checked to Truong. He continued for 1,000,000 as Seif found a call.

The river was the Q? as Seif checked. Truong bet 1,800,000 and Seif folded his hand as Truong took it down.

Camara Scores Triple Up

Level 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Jonathan Camara moved all in for 1,405,000 from under the gun and James Kraetz called on the button. It folded to Frank Weigel in the big blind who made the call as well.

The flop came K?Q?4?. Weigel and Kraetz checked to the 4? turn, where again action went check-check. On the 3? river both players tapped the table a third time and the cards were shown.

Weigel tabled 10?10?, Kraetz opened A?Q? for a pair of queens, but when Camara revealed K?3?, it was the flopped king that scored him the full triple up and left both Kraetz and Weigel short.

Ronconi Finds a Double Up

Level 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

After just losing two previous all ins, Mark Seif opened the action on the button to 320,000 and Darryl Ronconi shoved from the big blind for 2,120,000. Seif pondered for a moment, but eventually tossed in a chip for the call.

Darryl Ronconi: A?K?
Mark Seif: A?7?

Ronconi was in great shape for a double up, and when the board ran out 9?8?4?2?3?, it was the ace-king high that held up for Ronconi to score the double off Seif.

Jennifer Harman Remembers Doyle: "He Was Like a Marshmallow Puppy Dog to Me"

Level 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Jennifer Harman
Jennifer Harman

Poker Hall of Famer Jennifer Harman has seen the World Series of Poker (WSOP) in all of its iterations. Harman won two bracelets when the World Series played at Binion's Horseshoe in downtown Las Vegas and made several final tables after the transition to Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in the mid-2000s.

Now, 27 years after her first WSOP final table in 1996, Harman finds herself at yet another World Series rendition at the rebranded Horseshoe Casino on the Strip. And while the golden U-shaped emblem outside the hotel is by and large the same, Harman said the modern venue doesn't compare to the WSOP's original home.

"It was such a cool atmosphere playing at Binion's; it's just nothing like that," Harman told PokerNews. "Now it's just like, you know, poker blew up and it's more ... it's still a really cool atmosphere, but it's just different. It's not a small room, musty, that kind of stuff. But it's still really cool. Poker's still really popular, so that's a pretty awesome thing."

PokerNews caught up with Harman last week as she played Day 1 of Event #25: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship at the 2023 WSOP to ask about her summer schedule, pick for the Poker Hall of Fame and her memories with the late Doyle Brunson.
