The 2025 World Series of Poker is underway, and poker’s biggest and most prestigious festival is back in its now-familiar home on the Las Vegas Strip.
For the fourth consecutive summer, the great and good of the poker world will descend on the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, a venue that, despite being a relatively recent change, already feels like home for the game’s biggest names and dream-chasers.
PokerNews is here to give you a guide on things like:
The players have gone on a 15-minute break.
Owais Ahmed raised to 70,000 in middle position and Igor Zektser called in late position with all other action folding.
The flop rolled out 8♥9♦5♠ and Ahmed bet 215,000 which Zektser called.
On the turn 10♦, Ahmed moved all in for 495,000 and Zekster shook his head. He began talking to himself and looking back and forth at his hand. Eventually his demeanor turned to frustrated chuckles.
"What's so funny?" asked Ahmed.
"What's funny is I've had this hand three times at this table and it's been carnage every single time," Zektser replied. Eventually he tossed his hand into the muck, ceding the pot to the WSOP bracelet winner.

Adithya Sundar went all in with an open and a call in front. Paul Clotar made a pained fold with Stephen Hubbard left to act behind him. Hubbard pushed his chips forward to make the call.
Adithya Sundar: A♣7♣6♣3♥2♠
Stephen Hubbard: A♥10♦4♥2♣2♦
The flop fanned out 3♣Q♣8♠, giving them both the nut low draw but the 9♣ made Sundar a flush, guaranteeing him the high hand.
When the river fell the K♦, Hubbard was obliged to match his opponents stack as his stack back pedaled.
