In the Black section of the room, Table 3 is having fun playing big pots.
On the first hand, Dom Feldman was all-in for 80,000 chips in the cutoff and got called by Vladimir Kendenkov in the big blind.
Dom Feldman: A?J?
Vladimir Kendenkov: K?10?
Both players were laughing while filming the action when the dealer fanned a board of 9?J?2?2?7?. Feldman doubled up on this hand with a bit of pride. "It's my first WSOP Event", he said.
On the next hand, Adam Swan and his million-chip stack opened to 24,000 and got paid by Kendenkov in the small blind and by the big blind. But on 3?10?K?, Kendenkov went directly all-in for 300,000.
The big blind quickly folded. Swan took his time, with Kendenkov standing and talking in front of him. After a few seconds, Swan finally gave his cards to the dealer, smiling at the situation.

Poker Hall of Famer Jennifer Harman has seen the World Series of Poker (WSOP) in all of its iterations. Harman won two bracelets when the World Series played at Binion's Horseshoe in downtown Las Vegas and made several final tables after the transition to Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in the mid-2000s.
Now, 27 years after her first WSOP final table in 1996, Harman finds herself at yet another World Series rendition at the rebranded Horseshoe Casino on the Strip. And while the golden U-shaped emblem outside the hotel is by and large the same, Harman said the modern venue doesn't compare to the WSOP's original home.
"It was such a cool atmosphere playing at Binion's; it's just nothing like that," Harman told PokerNews. "Now it's just like, you know, poker blew up and it's more ... it's still a really cool atmosphere, but it's just different. It's not a small room, musty, that kind of stuff. But it's still really cool. Poker's still really popular, so that's a pretty awesome thing."
PokerNews caught up with Harman last week as she played Day 1 of Event #25: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship at the 2023 WSOP to ask about her summer schedule, pick for the Poker Hall of Fame and her memories with the late Doyle Brunson.
Level 18
