In a hand just before the break, middle position raised to 1,200 and got a call from late position and Qiyu Zhou in the big blind.
The flop came 3♦2♥3♥, Zhou checked and middle position bet 2,200. Late position called and Zhou jammed for around 4,400. Both middle and late position called, taking them to the Q♣ turn.
Both players who were not all in checked it down to a J♥ and then again to showdown.
Zhou turned over A♥7♥ to triple up with the flush, and both other players mucked.

The big blind was all in, at risk, and heads-up against Veronica Brill from a late position.
The 9♣6♠7x flop was already on the table, and the cards were flipped.
Big blind: 8♥8♣
Veronica Brill: 9♠7♠
Brill was sitting with two pair and looking to hold, but there was some sweat as the big blind had an open-ended straight draw.
The 3♥ turn and 2♦ river didn't bring it in, and the big blind was eliminated from the tournament.

Michelle Chin bet out for 1,200 from early position on the flop 5♦A♣4♠ and got raised to 3,000 by Nancy Birnbaum on her direct left. Chin called the raise.
The turn came the K♦. Chin checked and Birnbaum bet out 7,700. After taking some time to think, Chin called. The river was the 6♦. Chin now led out for three red chips or 15,000 total, putting her opponent all in. Birnbaum snap-called.
Chin turned over 8♦7♦ for the flush, which was no good, as Birnbaum had A♦4♦ for the nut flush and the double-up.
Chin had just around 7,000 chips left after the hand and was under the gun the very next hand. She accidentally said: "I call", then corrected to raise, but her first action counted. Sigrid Dencker was in middle position and raised to over 2,000 chips. After action folded back to Chin, she went all in and Dencker called.
Michelle Chin: K♠K♥
Sigrid Dencker: Q♠Q♥
Chin was at risk but ahead, and remained so on the 7♣A♠10♦ flop and the 4♥ turn. However, on the river, a two-outer, the Q♦, rolled off, capping off Chin's short but extreme run of bad luck.

The $25K Fantasy league rolls on, and as of June 19, Team The Dinkers (Josh Kay) is still on top with 899 points, which is a good bit ahead of both Team Sternheimer (765 points) and Team Baker (673 points). Of the 19 teams, Team Chingas is on the bottom with 213 points. Check out 25Kfantasy.com to see the current standings.
PokerNews has been tracking $25K Fantasy players in our live updates and has even made it simple to follow the action by tagging all players with a $25K Fantasy badge. That allows you to utilize our chip count filter option to follow only those players (just tick the $25K Fantasy badge); what’s more, each blog will have a “$25K Fantasy” tab that if you click all you will see are hands played by $25K Fantasy players.
As a result, we can capture some of the biggest, best, and most game-changing hands involving the $25K Fantasy roster. Here are five from the last week of action in the 2024 WSOP.

: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
After losing a pot having to fold two pair, Cai was more lucky in the next hand she played. When action came around to her on the button, she seemed to have missed that the player under the gun already raised to 1,000 and wanted to put in a raise herself, but it counted as a call. The big blind also called.
The flop came 9♦8♣6♥. The player in the big blind led for 1,100. Under the gun called, as did Cai.
The turn 2♣ got a check from both of Cai's opponents, and she bet 5,500. The big blind called, but the under-the-gun player folded.
The river was the 5♥, bringing in four to a straight. Both players checked. Under the gun showed 10♦9♥, but Cai was able to take that one down with Q♠9♣ for a pair of nines with a better kicker.
