Event #32: $1,500 H.O.R.S.E.

Omaha 8 or Better

Robin Rightmire opened the pot with a raise before Michelle Roth reraised in the cutoff. Big blind Tamon Nakamura called, as did Rightmire.

The flop came     and Roth bet. Rightmire called while Nakamura got out of the way.

Roth kept betting as the board ran out   , with Rightmire calling on both streets.

Roth turned over      for the nut flush and a six-five low to win the pot.

On the other side feature table, Jason Bigelow has finally taken his seat after being blinded off for the first 35 minutes of Day 3. Bigelow thought it was a 2 p.m. start and only realized play had already begun when he checked the updates on his computer and saw players were already eliminated.

Tamon Nakamura	1,400,000	-300,000
Michelle Roth	1,100,000	-305,000
Robin Rightmire	550,000	-450,000

Limit Hold'em

Ziya Rahim moved all in for his last 50,000 from the cutoff and received calls from Tamon Nakamura on the button and Robin Rightmire in the big blind.

The flop came     and Rightmire checked to Nakamura, then folded to a bet.

Ziya Rahim:   
Tamon Nakamura:   

"I have two overcards," Rahim said when he saw Nakamura's pair of eights. The board ran out   , missing Rahim and sending him to the payout desk in 20th place.

Tamon Nakamura	1,700,000	0
Robin Rightmire	1,000,000	-140,000
Ziya Rahim	0	-365,000

Limit Hold'em

With the smallest stack in the field, Adrian Panocki did not survive. He doubled up once in Stud 8 or Better against John Fahmy, but went all in two hands later in hold'em against Shirley Rosario on a     flop.

Shirley Rosario:   
Adrian Panocki:   

Rosario made a pair of Nines on the flop and neither the turn   nor the river   helped Adrian Panocki, who is the first player eliminated today.

Shirley Rosario	1,200,000	30,000
Adrian Panocki	0	-85,000

It's been a long 16 years since David Williams last won a World Series of Poker gold bracelet.

Now Williams is in a prime position to end that drought as he carries the chip lead into the final day of Event #32: $1,500 H.O.R.S.E. The 2,125,000 he bagged up last night paces the remaining 22 players as they attempt to play down to a winner today beginning at noon local time.

Directly behind Williams is Jason Daly (2,015,000), who found himself the target of controversy when he was allowed to remain in the wrong seat, much to the disapproval of some of his new tablemates. Michelle Roth (1,405,000) and Shirley Rosario (1,170,000) are also in the top five, looking to join Casino Employee's event champion Katie Kopp as female WSOP bracelet winners in 2022.

Tamon Nakamura, a burgeoning poker star from Japan, is still alive with 1,005,000 after having the chip lead for most of Day 2. Record producer and bracelet winner Steven Albini is also in the hunt with 970,000.
