2024 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Championship Day 2– Josh Reichard Breaks 3 Million Plateau

Two beginning flights and Day 2 are all in the books at the World Poker Tour (WPT) Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Championship in Hollywood, Florida and simply 101 gamers stay out of the initial 1,869 entries. Blazing a trail heading into Day 3 is Josh Reichard, who holds 3.1 million chips.

Reichard is the only gamer to complete Day 2 above the 3 million-chip mark, it’s as quite excellent race at the top of the leaderboard. Close behind Reichard is Michael Rocco with 2.975 million chips, followed by Matthew Higgins with 2.765 million and Jackob Datashvili with 2.730 million. After those 4 gamers, the chip counts expanded more– there has to do with 1.3 million-chip spread in between 1^st and 10^th location.

Reichard has a comprehensive live competition resume, with overall revenues of $3.2 million. His finest live money was for $339,646, when he completed 2^nd in 2015’s $1,000 Mini Main Event at the World Series of Poker. He is still seeking his very first World Poker Tour title.

Everybody staying is ensured a minimum of $9,600 on their $3,500 buy-in. Six-figure paydays decrease to 8^th location, while the winner will cash for $839,300.

Among the nuttiest hands of Sunday’s action was something that you would anticipate to discover in a film. Balakrishna Patur raised pre-flop to 25,000, Anthony Spinella called, and Shlomo Gardi went all-in for 317,000.

Patur then went all-in over the top for 400,000 and Spinella made the call for his competition life. When the cards were turned over, the view was wild: Patur had Aces, Gardi had Kings, and Spinella had Jacks.

The flop was all hearts, just assisting Gardi, as it provided him a flush draw. The turn was worthless, however the river brought another King, offering Gardi a set and an enormous triple-up. Patur took the little side pot. After the hand, both Spinella and Gardi had more than 900,000 chips.

I ought to modify my earlier declaration about it being a distribute of a motion picture. The hole cards worked well for that, however if this was imaginary poker, more than simply Gardi would have struck something on the board, OR … they would not have actually all been all-in pre-flop. The drama would have developed through the flop, turn, and river. Pretty interesting hand, however, particularly due to the fact that it wasn’t produced.
