The Day’s Action

As is the case in many PLO tournaments, the action came early and fast with many big pots from the first hand. Dentale started to accumulate chips early in the day and he continued his momentum through to the end.

Popular social media figure Brett “Brettski” Stern joined the event, providing laughter and entertainment throughout the day as he found a bag.

Daniel Zack steadily rose up the counts as the day progressed, including a massive double knockout when he flopped a full house against kings and jacks. The three-time bracelet winner is not known for his PLO prowess but he proved otherwise today.

Day 2 starts at 12:00 p.m. local time on June 6 in the Bronze section of the Horseshoe Event Center. Play will resume in Level 16 with blinds at 3,000/6,000.

Zani Resuli limped in early position, followed by Andrew Klivan in the hijack before the small blind raised to 25,000. Both Resuli and Klivan called.

The dealer fanned a flop of 10♦9♣7♦, and the action checked to Klivan who jammed for 85,000. The small blind quickly folded, butResuli went into the tank.

"Ah, you must have a straight," Said Resuli. "I would rather give my chips to a world class player."

"I am a world class player," Resuli replied, "Just not a world class poker player."

"I just want to bang you so bad," Resuli carried on while in the tank.

After a couple of more minutes, Resuli made the call.

Andrew Klivan: Q♦J♦J♠10♠
Zani Resuli: 8♦5♦6♥4♠

Resuli was ahead with a flopped straight and was able to dodge the straight and flush draw of Klivan as the A♣ hit the turn, and the 4♣ on the river.

"I'll still give you a back rub tomorrow," Resuli said to Klivan as he waited for his payout tag.
