Jonathan Ma was seen stacking his chips after having won a three-way all in with quads.
With cards still on their backs, Ma held 7♦7♣ on a runout of K♣2♠7♠7♥J♠, besting the A♠K♦ and K♥4♥ of his two opponents.
PokerNews caught up with Ma after the hand to get a brief recap of the action. According to Ma, the money went in on the flop.
After the hand, dealer Daniel De Anda rolled up his sleeve to reveal a seven tattooed on his arm for good measure.

Action picked up on the turn in a hand between Robbin Glover in middle position and the player in late position.
With over 30,000 in the pot and the board reading K♥6♦9♣4♦, Glover moved all in for just over 17,000.
"Will you show me?" asked the late position player. Glover shook her head no.
After some thought, late position folded, flashing the K♣ and the pot was pushed Glover's way.

PokerNews caught up with Ian Auvil after getting eliminated here in Day 1b. He mentioned that he hasn't been able to get anything going here at the 2025 Bar Poker Open Vegas World Championship but plans on hopping back in for a fresh starting stack.
Auvil took down the 2023 Bar Poker Open Florida World Championship and final tabled the 2024 Bar Poker Open Vegas World Championship. If he can get some momentum going on his second bullet, he will be a player to watch out for.
