Morten Klein once had a monster stack in front of him, but that has quickly evaporated and only has around 375,000 after just losing a pot to Ben Lamb.
Klein opened the hijack to 32,000 and Lamb called in the big blind. On the 5♣A♠6♦ flop, both checked to the 3♦ turn, where Lamb bet 40,000. Klein quickly let it go.
Sirzat Hissou is at the same table with around 1,400,000 in front of him.

There was a pot of around 250,000 on a flop of 6♠8♦J♣ that saw Daniel Rezaei bet 110,000 from the big blind. Jean-Robert Bellande called in the cutoff to the 9♥ turn, which he then committed his stack of around 375,000 on after Rezaei bet a chunk.
Jean-Robert Bellande: 10♣9♣ 
Daniel Rezaei: Q♥Q♣
Bellande had to find a queen, ten, nine, or a seven to double up, but couldn't do it a the J♠ on the river kept Rezaei's queens in the lead.

In the 912th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway comes to you from the Chamada Prestige Hotel & Casino, which is currently hosting the World Poker Tour (WPT) Cyprus Championship. It's there that he caught up with Will Kassouf for an exclusive interview to discuss his controversial run in the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, why he acts the way he does, and where things currently stand between him and the WSOP. Chad also asks if he experienced any sort of mental health situation during the WSOP, or perhaps was influenced by any sort of substances, while also inquiring how Kassouf thinks he's perceived in the poker world. Spoiler Alert: he says he is the 'Donald Trump of poker.'
Chad then sat down with WPT commentator Tony Dunst, who bagged Day 1a of the $3,500 WPT Cyprus Championship. The two Wisconsin boys talk about visiting Cyprus for the first time, sports, and what life is like nowadays for the debonair Dunst, who has now been with the WPT for 15 years!
These are two interviews that you don't want to miss!

There were over 100,000 in the middle on a board of Q♥Q♣7♠ when both Laszlo Bujtas & Jelle Moene checked from the blinds. Markkos Ladev bet 21,000 from the hijack, which Bujtas called. Moene then made it 55,000, Ladev clicked it to 89,000, Bujtas folded, and Moene called.
A 4♣ fell on the river and after Moene checked it over, Ladev bet 60,000. It didn't take long for Moene to fold, and Ladev raked in the pot.
