Big O
After five straight limp-flop-bet-fold scenarios, with Farhad Jamasi taking just two those exchanges, some real chips were pushed into a couple hands.
In the first, Jamasi limped and Sergio Benso checked.
The flop hit 3♥A♣Q♣ and both players checked. Benso bet 600,000 on the 9♦ turn. Jamasi called.
When the 10♣ landed on the river, Jamasi fired first, betting 1,000,000 chips. That earned a takedown as Benso folded.
Those chips weren't his for long, however.
On the next hand, he raised to 600,000 preflop. Benso three-bet to 1,800,000.
Jamasi folded and was down to the fewest chips he has had all day.
Will Givens bagged a big stack on Day 5 in the WSOP Main Event, but he was mysteriously absent when play resumed Saturday morning.
It was a bit strange to see an empty chair this deep in the biggest tournament in the world, where the remaining players were playing for potentially millions of dollars. But Givens, a Will Kassouf of sorts at the poker table, had something better to do than arrive on time, he told PokerNews. Apparently, he can't crush it on the felt without the proper nutrition. More specifically, avocado toast.

Pot-Limit Omaha Double Board
10♥5♥4♦5♦4♠
7♠7♥5♠9♥6♥
After an extended period of chops, the players saw two flops in a limped pot.
Farhad Jamasi check-called a bet of 150,000 on the flop, before check-calling a bet of 400,000 on the turn.
On the river, Jamasi checked for a third time, and Sergio Benso rolled his eyes before checking back.
Jamasi tabled 10♦7♦6♦3♣ for tens up on top, and a full house on the bottom. Benso took some time before finally releasing his cards.
After one hour of heads-up play, there has been only one significant chip-changing hand.
With both players being at least 47 big blinds deep, the multiple split pot games, and the nature of pot-limit, this could be a lengthy battle.
The wrestling matches over blinds have played out about even, with neither player appearing to be flustered by the chance to win his first bracelet.
Interestingly, Jamasi is almost exactly where he was when the day began, when he had roughly a third of the chips.
Pot-Limit Omaha 8 or Better
