Ike Haxton (courtesy of WSOP/Alicia Skillman) Schumacher’s open was met by a 3-bet from Haxton, who left a single 5k chip behind. Not realising this ‘chip behind’ detail, Bogarin called in the big blind and when Schumacher re-shoved he went into the tank…as did Haxton! When Bogarin finally folded, out of turn, he still didn’t realise Haxton hadn’t committed his last 5k chip. After 6 minutes in the tank, another player at the table, Yuchen Chen, finally called the clock.

Yuto Moriyasu Twenty-six-year-old Yuto Moriyasu arrived in Vegas from Japan at the end of May, with plans to play the Main Event.

The authorities and his family are now desperately asking people for help as the Japanese national has not been in contact since July 2nd.

Albert Ng Ng, a.k.a. “albiexchewy”, entered the $33 buy-in online satellite on June 6th and, after firing two bullets, defeated 49 others to bag the $1000 seat to this year’s Event #70: $1,000 Ladies Championship. As soon as news broke, X/Twitter erupted in expected fashion… I’m hoping Albert misclicked reg, but people who do this on purpose are people who can’t do the right thing unless a law or rule prevents them.
