Action was picked up on fourth as Moskowitz led. Both Seed and Eskandani called.

Moskowitz led again on fifth, only Eskandani called, and he called another bet on sixth.

On seventh, Moskowitz led for a final time, Eskandani raised, and Moskowitz shrugged as he called. He was shown the bad news as Eskandani made a straight, leaving Moskowitz on crumbs.

Shortly after, Moskowitz was all-in against Eskandari. Moskowitz started with split tens and improved to tens and eights, but Eskandari ended up with flush to put the tournament on the money bubble.

On fourth street, Turner checked, Moskowitz bet, and Morris called. Turner then raised to put himself all-in. Moskowitz raised again, leaving himself with one big bet behind. Morris called.

On fifth street, Moskowitz put in his last chips, and Morris called again.

When the cards were tabled, Moskowitz had jacks in the hole for the best hand. Turner had a pair of tens, and Morris had just ace-high.

Neither Morris nor Turner could improve as the final cards hit the felt, and Moskowitz's pair of jacks was good for the pot and bust out.

Level 12

Ante: 1000
Low Card: 2000
Completion: 5000
Limits: 5000-10000

Tom McCormick: K♠7♠3x / 3♠3♥K♥2♠
Eric Wasserson: XxXx / J♥Q♠9♣ - folded on fifth street
Jon Turner: XxXxXx / 7♦7♥10♥8♠

Action was caught on fifth street, with around 30,000 in the middle.

Jon Turner, with a pair of sevens on his board, bet. Tom McCormick, who had threes showing called. Eric Wasserson was the third player in the hand, and after some thought, returned his cards to the dealer.

Turner bet on sixth street, and then called when McCormick raised. Turner checked on seventh street, and then had a pained looked on his face when McCormick threw in another 10,000 into the pot. Turner couldn't let his hand go, and put in calling chips.

"Three's full," announced McCormick, who tabled his K♠7♠3x down cards. Turner couldn't beat that, and the pot went to his opponent.

Aaron Kupin: K♥J♥10♥ / 5♥9♠8♣9♣ All in
Tom McCormick: J♦9♥3♦ / J♣4♠7♥5♣

On the next hand, Aaron Kupin called before McCormick raised. The action folded back to Kupin, who called.

Kupin called a bet on fourth street, before raising on fifth street. McCormick stuck around and called Kupin's bet on sixth street. Once the final down cards had been dealt, Kupin put in his last 1,000 and was quickly called.

Kupin could only show the pair of nines on his board, while McCormick had a pair of jacks, which was enough to seal the pot and eliminate Kupin.

Tom McCormick	240,000 150,000	150,000

With a pair of sevens on his board, Wells bet and was called by Rheem. The same action followed on sixth street.

After the players received their final down card, Wells fired out another bet. Rheem thought briefly before conceding the pot.

"Ooooo you f******..." said Rheem as Wells collected the pot. "How many times have you bluffed me?" he asked.

Wells pondered, looking up to the ceiling. Rheem quickly chimed in, "Oh my god, you're counting!" which received a few laughs from the table.

Negreanu and Friedman Headline Day 2 of the $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Brett Slezak

A star-studded field will assemble inside the Horseshoe Event Center when Day 2 of Event #25: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship begins at 1 p.m. local time.

From the 100 that tried their luck yesterday, just 46 players return for the event’s penultimate day. Leading the way is Adam Friedman, who utilized a late-night surge to bag the chip lead with 420,000. Friedman was also toward the top of the counts after Day 1 of the $10,000 Dealers Choice, but was only able to parlay that good start into a seventh-place finish.

Returning today second in chips is Dan Heimiller with 364,500. Heimiller just captured his third bracelet in the $1,500 Seven Card Stud. Rounding out the podium in third is none other than Daniel Negreanu with 302,000, who also has gotten off to a hot start this summer after a runner-up finish in the $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo Championship.

Top Ten Chip Counts

Rank	Player	Country	Chip Count
1	Adam Friedman	United States	420,000
2	Daniel Heimiller	United States	364,500
3	Daniel Negreanu	Canada	302,000
4	Dylan Weisman	United States	263,500
5	Per Hildebrand	Sweden	244,000
6	Karl Tretter	United States	211,000
7	George Alexander	United States	208,000
8	Brian Yoon	United States	188,500
9	Bryce Yockey	United States	187,000
10	Eric Wasserson	United States	170,000

Multiple past-winners of this event are also still in, including 2021 champion Anthony Zinno (96,000), 2023 champion Brian Yoon (188,500), and defending champion James Obst (130,000).

Day 1 had 100 players make their way to the Paris Convention Center, almost reaching last year's mark of 104 runners. Late registration remains open for the first level of the day, so it is a virtual guarantee for the field to surpass last year’s. The action picks up on Level 11 with limits of 4,000/8,000. Levels begin at 60 minutes but will be extended to 90 minutes beginning with Level 16. The schedule calls for eight levels to be played today.

Stay tuned to PokerNews as we provide coverage through to the end of Event #25: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship and all bracelet events here at the 2025 World Series of Poker.
