Frank Visser

Matthew Mcewan: A♠Q♣ All in
Orpen Kisacikoglu: Q♠J♥

Kisacikoglu turned some extra outs on 8♦3♠2♠9♥, but the A♥ river gave Mcewan top pair for a double-up.

Level 11 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Byron Kaverman made it 32,000 from early position and Kharlin Sued jammed for 156,000 from the cutoff. Laszlo Bujtas called on the button before Kaverman shoved to put Bujtas all in. Bujtas folded and the cards were revealed.

Kharlin Sued: A♥Q♠ All in
Byron Kaverman: A♦K♥

Sued couldn't find the help he needed on the J♥7♦3♣3♥6♥ runout, as Kaverman's Big Slick held up, sending Sued to the rail.

Level 11 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Richard Green made it 32,000 from the button before Emilien Pitavy jammed from the big blind for 440,000. Green had slighlty fewer chips than Pitavy, so the raise was for the remainder of his stack. After standing up and doing some inventory, Green called

Richard Green: A♣9♥ All in
Emilien Pitavy: A♦5♦

Pitavy was in rough shape as Green had the better kicker to go with his ace. The flop came down 7♥8♠Q♠, helping neither player. The 6♥ turn provided Pitavy with a few extra outs, and the 4♣ river imprived him to a straight, Green hit the rail and Pitavy moved up to 840,000 in chips.

Jon Sofen

Level 11 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Mass max late registration in a 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) event on Sunday forced tournament staff to redraw seats for the entire field on Day 2.

Event #26: $25,000 High Roller, not to be confused with the $25,000 High-Roller 6-Max that ended on Saturday, had 300 entries through Day 1. But registration remained open for one full level on the tournament's second session.

Level 11 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Left short-stacked from a recent encounter, Martin Kabrhel raised to roughly 105,000, leaving a single 1,000 chip behind.
Richard Green moved all in from the big blind to commit Kabrhel's stack.

Kabrhel took a moment before putting his one remaining chip in the middle.

Martin Kabrhel: K♣J♠ All in
Richard Green: A♦J♦

The flop came 2♣A♣8♥, and it didn't look good for Kabrhel.

Sure enough, the turn 6♠ and river K♥ were no help, and Kabrhel headed to the exit.

Level 11 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Wai Kiat Lee in the big blind and Brad Owen in the hijack were heads up on a flop of 5♠6♥6♦. With 92,000 already in the pot, Owen bet 45,000, which Lee check-raised to 95,000.

Owen then put Lee all-in for 235,000, and Lee snap-called for his tournament life.

Wai Kiat Lee: 7♥6♣ All in
Brad Owen: Q♠Q♥

Owen's ladies were outflopped by Lee. The 3♥ turn and 5♣ river did not upgrade Owen's hand, and he paid Lee his double-up.

NOT LIKE THAT!

Stewart Morrison

Level 11 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel raised in middle position, and when action folded to Michael Moncek, he moved all in for 151,000.
Kabrhel was the only player to call, and the players were off to a runout.

Michael Moncek: A♥7♦ All in
Martin Kabrhel: A♦J♦

The flop came 7♥5♥Q♠, prompting Kabrhel to exclaim his signature catchphrase, "Not like that!".

The runout was no help to Kabrhel, who asked his opponent to apologise when the board ran out A♠3♣. Moncek obliged, apologising as he pulled in the pot.
