2025 RGPS Grand Prix Maryland
Michael Richer reraised to 3,700 in the hijack and was called by the big blind and another opponent in middle position.
Richer continued for 3,500 on the J♣J♠2♣ flop and only the big blind called. Richer bet another 4,000 on the 2♠ turn, and his opponent again called.
The river was the Q♦ and Richer bet 25,000. His opponent quickly folded this time, and Richer took the pot.
Mark Castaldo was in the big blind and put in a reraise to 7,500 before an opponent in the hijack moved all in for 15,000. "I'll call with the worse hand," Castaldo said as he committed the chips.
All-in player: 9♠9♦
Mark Castaldo: K♦Q♥
The flop came K♥5♦7♦ to give Castaldo the lead with top pair, while the rest of the board ran out 3♥10♠ and the hijack was sent to the rail.
Stephani Czap limped in from early position before Alvin Anton raised to 2,000 in middle position. The table folded back to Czap who called to see the Q♦6♣10♥ flop.
Anton then bet another 2,000 and Czap called. The turn was the 10♦ and Czap moved all in for 18,700.
Anton quickly flashed her his Q♥ and tossed it into the muck, and Czap reciprocated by showing her A♣10♣ before taking in the pot.

A player in the hijack raised to 1,700 and received three callers, including Thies Guyy in the cutoff and Bob Fikac on the button.
All four players checked the 7♠6♦6♠ flop. The hijack then bet 3,000 on the 5♠ turn, and only Fikac and the small blind called.
Action checked to Fikac on the 3♥ river and he bet 10,000. The small blind called, while the cutoff got out of the way. Fikac turned over 7♥6♥ for a flopped full house, and his opponent mucked.
Russ Dunlevy limped in from under the gun before a player in the cutoff raised to 2,000. Christopher Caruso called on the button, as did Dinesh Purohit in the small blind, before the big blind reraised to 10,000. Only Caruso called.
Both players checked to the river on a board of A♥8♦2♦3♦9♣ where Caruso bet 5,000. His opponent quickly called, and Caruso turned over 9♠8♥ for two pair. The big blind mucked and Caruso, who unsuccessfully fired seven bullets during yesterday's opening flight, took down the pot.
A player in early position raised to 1,500 and the small blind called. Zach Kates then three-bet to 4,500 in the big blind, and only his early-position opponent called.
Both players checked the 8♠4♦3♥ flop. Kates also checked the 10♥ turn and his opponent bet 2,500. Kates called and the 2♥ fell on the river.
He checked once more, and the early-position player bet 3,400. Kates called with A♠Q♦ for ace-high, and his opponent mucked 7♥6♦.
Charles Furey and an opponent saw a flop of J♣9♣6♠ when the big blind bet 10,500. Furey then moved all in for 28,300 in middle position, and his opponent called.
Charles Furey: 7♦6♦
Opponent: K♣K♠
Furey showed a pair of sixes but was behind his opponent's kings. The 3♥ turn left him a card away from busting yet again, but Furey caught the 7♣ on the river to make two pair and double up.
Heads-up on a board of J♣2♦J♥10♠, a player in the hijack bet 1,000 before Thies Guyy raised to 4,000 in the cutoff. His opponent called and the 4♥ fell on the river.
Guyy then bet another 5,600 and his opponent again called. Guyy showed Q♠J♠ for trips to win the pot.
Charles Furey reentered during the break.
