Event #100: $1,000 Super Turbo
Day 1 Started
Welcome back to PokerNews, the official media partner of the 2025 World Series of Poker, bringing you live updates from every bracelet event.
Today marks the start of Event #100: $1,000 Super Turbo No-Limit Hold'em , the final bracelet-awarding live tournament of the summer. This is a one-day event that allows for one reentry before the end of the tenth level (about 2 p.m.).
Cards are in the air from 10 a.m., with every player sitting down armed with 20,000 chips and playing to 20-minute levels from start to finish. There will be 20-minute breaks every six levels, or as needed for color-ups, and a 60-minute dinner break after Level 21 (around 8:00 p.m.). The fast clock should see players dropping like flies almost immediately!
Aneris Adomkevicius of Lithuania is the reigning champion. Adomkevicius topped a 1,544-strong field after a gruelling 16-hour grind. The $201,355 and his first bracelet made it all worthwhile.
"It feels blissful, and it’s the best feeling," Adomkevicius told PokerNews after his victory, "I feel very blessed and grateful for the opportunity I had. I tried to play my best and was fortunate."

Nan Zhang earned the dubious distinctions of being the first person eliminated from the tournament and the first to buy back into the singe reentry event.
"Can't believe a guy called me with jack-ten," said Nan Zhang, who had ace-king.
The guy is Ronald Jackson, who was pleased to see his jack-ten crush the runout of J♠3♥3♣3♠10♣.
"Hey, it's 20-minute levels," the Texas native said chuckling. ""And they were suited."

Action folded around to Martin Perez on the button, who raised to 200 only to be three-bet to 700 by Adam Agaev in the small blind. Christoph Koechy called from the big blind, and Perez folded.
The dealer laid out the flop of Q♠K♦8♠ and the action went check-check. The 9♦ came on the turn, and Agaev checked to Koechy, who bet out for 2,200. Agaev raised to 7,700, and Koechy moved all in for near-starting stack. Agaev snap-called, and it was he who was at risk, although he was way ahead with a set of eights.
Adam Agaev: 8♥8♣
Christoph Koechy: Q♥K♣
No help for Koechy on the 3♠ river, and he was left with less than a bowl of rice to play with.

Joseph Pfluger raised to 600 from under the gun and was called by Julia Heaney in middle position and Samuel Decaro in the big blind.
The dealer fanned a 8♦7♠6♥ flop, action checked to Heaney who bet 600 and was called by both opponents.
All three players checked on the 3♣ turn card.
The river was the 10♠, Decaro bet 800, Pfluger folded, and Heaney called. Decaro tabled 10♥9♦, good for a straight and the winning hand.

Craig Coultas: J♣J♥
The runout of 2♦5♥3♥K♥8♠ missed Lin and Coultas' jacks held for the knockout.
