On a heads-up turn of 5♠8♣5♦A♠, Steven Veneziano managed to get all the chips into the middle against his opponent, who was now at risk.
Steven Veneziano: A♥J♠9♠6♣
Opponent: K♥K♦4♣3♦
His opponent was drawing fairly slim with only two king outs to hit, and the river 9♥ did not do it for him and he was eliminated.

Poker Hall of Famer and seven-time bracelet winner Billy Baxter is on the verge of closing in on his first WSOP bracelet in 21 years after making it to the final table of the $1,000 Seniors Event at the 2023 World Series of Poker.
Baxter, who sits in third place going into the final day, has had a career that has spanned six decades and has seen him earn $2,739,628 in live tournaments alone. And he's already locked up another $122,130 for making it to the final seven. If he manages to make it to at least fourth place, he will secure his biggest-ever tournament cash. Just another remarkable achievement for one of the legends of the game.

Jason Mercier opened to 5,000 from the hijack and got four callers, including Nick Schulman on the button and Cary Katz in the small blind.
"Alright, everyone called me," Mercier said before the flop landed 2♣8♥K♠.
Mercier continued for 8,000 and only Katz called. Katz checked on the 4♠ turn and Mercier checked back.
The 5♠ river completed the board and Katz led out for 24,000. Mercier quickly folded.

Three ways to the Q♥J♠10♠ flop, the action checked to Kristopher Tong and he bet 15,000. Yuri Dzivielevski folded and the third player in the hand called. Following the 2♥ turn, Tong bet the pot for 72,000 when checked and received another check-call.
That led to the 10♥ river on which both checked. Tong announced the nut flush and his opponent briefly exposed an inferior flush while Tong exposed his A♥K♠8♣3♥.
