Stewart Morrison

Level 35 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Luis Diazmoreno committed all of his short-stack, roughly seven big blinds, from under the gun. Action folded to Timothe Labassa in the hijack, who moved all in too, covering his opponent.

Luis Diazmoreno: A♠8♦ All in
Timothe Labassa: Q♥Q♠

The flop gave Diazmoreno some running outs, and it was those he needed.

The turn 5♦ provided a gutshot straight draw, and the river 7♦ gave him the eight-high straight.

Labassa took the bad beat well, locked in and ready to bounce back.

Sava Krink

Level 35 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Lachlan Crilly opened from the cutoff, committing most of his stack and leaving just a few chips behind. Dustin Apperson responded by moving all in from the small blind, and after the action folded back around, Crilly put in the rest to call, setting up a showdown.

Lachlan Crilly: J♥8♥ All in
Dustin Apperson: 9♣9♥

Apperson was well ahead, and the board ran out 7♦9♦A♣A♠5♣, giving him a full house and leaving Crilly with no path to survival. With that, Crilly hit the rail.

Bryden Baxter raised to 1,200,000 from the button and Dean Bui went all in from middle position for his remaining 2,950,000. Bryden Baxter made the call.

Dean Bui: A♠9♦ All in
Bryden Baxter: 7♠7♦

Before the cards were dealt, Baxter said "Keep it low dealer" and the flop came J♠6♣2♠.

The K♣ hit the turn and Bui needed a nine or an ace to stay alive.

A river card of the 4♣ sent Bui home in 26th place.

Alan Keating ‘Got Outplayed’ in WSOP Heads-Up Event; Wants to Face Negreanu

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Lyle Bateman

Level 34 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Alan Keating had an opportunity to prove to the high-stakes tournament grinders — notably, Daniel Negreanu — that he can hang in their arena. But the Hustler Casino Live fan favorite bowed out in the second round of Event #7: $25,000 Heads-Up Championship on Friday at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP).

Keating, known primarily for his high-stakes cash game appearances, has over $200,000 in career WSOP earnings but hasn’t recorded a WSOP cash since 2013. Recently, he’s been publicly challenged by several high-stakes pros—including Negreanu — to step outside the comfort of the private cash game scene and compete against the game's elites.

It seems Negreanu was on Keating’s mind when he registered for the event. When PokerNews caught up with him and asked about his motivation for playing, Keating said, “It’s a heads-up tournament, and I saw Negreanu was on the list,” adding that he thought to himself, “Alright, here’s my chance to find him in his streets.”
