On the 6♠ river, Wesson checked it over to Berk. Berk bet 17,200. Wesson thought for a moment, before calling. Berk shook his head and Wesson turned over his K♦K♣ to win the pot

Action picked with Gang Zhao all in, as the board read 10♥7♣5♣A♣ and he was quickly called by Aaron Mermelstein, which put him at risk.
Gang Zhao: J♣9♣ 
Aaron Mermelstein: 5♥7♦
Drawing very slim, Mermelstein was not able to boat up through the Q♠ river, and Zhao found himself with double the chips he had before the hand, while Mermelstein’s stack dwindled down towards starting.

Is Thomas Zanot the luckiest gambler ever? The poker player from Arizona pulled the second $1 million mystery bounty at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) on Sunday, and it isn't even close to his biggest jackpot.
Day 2 of Event #1: $1,000 Mystery Millions, a tournament that reached 19,654 entrants, has been quite a thriller, and it hasn't even come close to reaching the final table. That is because the mystery bounty element is in play, and two individuals have already become millionaires.

Alex Foxen was all in for his last 10,000 against heads-up opponent Christopher Ewing.
Alex Foxen: 9♥9♠
Christopher Ewing: K♦Q♣
Foxen, who is fresh off pulling a $25,000 bounty in the other Mystery Bounty event, couldn't win the flip as the board ran out J♦6♣7♣K♥A♣ to give Ewing a pair of kings to send Foxen to the rail.
Kristen Foxen, meanwhile, sits on the opposite side of the room with a stack of around 75,000.

Diego Sanchez opened under the gun to 1,300, and was met with a three-bet by Mikhail Zavoloka to 4,000. Sanchez called.
The flop went check-check on Q♥8♥5♦ and the 8♦ saw both players decline to bet as well.
On the 10♦, Sanchez checked and Zavoloka fired 15,000. Sanchez threw on three, red 5,000 chips to make the call. Zavoloka showed A♣4♣ and Sanchez was able to take down the pot with just 2♥2♣.

When action folded to him in the cutoff, Gaurav Raina raised to 2,000. Following a button fold, Bin Weng shoved his 18,000 stack from the small blind, and Raina had his chips in the middle before the big blind could fold his hand.
Bin Weng: A♥2♥
Gaurav Raina: A♠A♦
The 8♦4♠6♣ flop had Weng drawing slim, and his fate was sealed on the 4♥ turn. His rivered two pair with the A♣ meant nothing, as Raina sent him packing with a full house.

Action was picked up preflop, as Shaun Deeb had three-bet on the button to a size of 6,000. Zhen Chen, who had raised from the cutoff, four-bet to a size of 14,500. Deeb didn’t take long before moving all in for 56,000 effective, and he knew his fate before any cards were tabled, as Chen flicked a chip in instantly.
Zhen Chen A♣A♥
Shaun Deeb A♦Q♦
Deeb had a sliver of hope on the turn, as the dealer had put out 8♣7♣10♠J♦ however the king he needed didn’t show up, as the dealer paired the board with the 10♦.
