Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 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.

One-Outed the Hard Way

Claudio Elizalde

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

This hand was relayed to PokerNews by the players involved.

Jackson Spencer limped under the gun and Michael Krescanko raised to 40,000. Spencer potted back and Krescanko put his remaining chips in.

Michael Krescanko: A♥K♠K♥5♥3♠ All in
Jackson Spencer: A♠A♥K♣10♦3♣

Heading to a river on a board J♥8♠2♦2♣, Spencer seemed poised to get at least three quarters of the pot but when the 3♥ fell it became a chop.

Spencer scooped the high and Krescanko had rivered the only low card that would deprive Spencer of at least three quarters.

At this point Brian Hacker chimed in and said he had folded K♦K♠3♦ which meant that Krescanko had truly hit their only out not lose chips.

Player	Chips	Progress
Michael Krescanko	218,000 7,000	7,000
Jackson Spencer	208,000 85,000	85,000
Brian Hacker	180,000 11,000	11,000

Ryan Lashmar

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

With three players seeing a board of 5♠K♣6♦8♥7♦ and over 800,000 in the middle, Justin Liberto checked from the big blind and David Petty shoved for his remaining 55,000 chips from middle position. Peter Ferderber called from the hijack, Michael Fleming shoved for 186,000 from the cutoff and Liberto folded. Ferderber called for less and was at risk.

David Petty: A♦8♦6♥5♦2♣ All in
Peter Ferderber: A♣Q♠J♥9♣2♦ All in
Michael Fleming: A♥Q♦6♣3♠2♠

For the main pot, Petty was good for the high with two pair and took half. All three players had the nut-low and took one sixth of the main pot each. For the considerably smaller side pot, Ferderber and Fleming chopped half with the nut-low while Fleming had a pair of sixes to take the side.

Player	Chips	Progress
David Petty	655,000 371,000	371,000
