Diamonds Are Forever

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Action was picked up with Youngsik Eum in the tank after he opened for 3,000 and both Ashton Nikzad and Todd Van Kleeck shoved all-in - in the small blind for 28,000 and in the big blind for around 70,000, respectively.

Visibly amused with the situation, Eum made the call taking the trio to showdown.

Ashton Nikzad: AJ All in
Youngsik Eum: JJ All in
Todd Van Kleeck: AQ

Ahead with his pocket pair, Eum let out a small cheer when the hands were tabled. The flop dropped 378. Still happy he was ahead, he voiced out that there were enough diamonds on the board.

But the turn 2 fell and Eum was beginning to show slight frustration at the possible chop if another diamond fell. Sure enough the 9 was dealt on the river evoking a frustrated "Oh My God," exclamation from Eum.

The players pulled back their chips as the dealer divided the pot for a three-way chop which took away Eum's chance to boost his chip stack.

Dang Finds Flush to Triple Up

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Joonhee Yea opened the action from the hijack with a raise to 3,000, and Fabian Gumz made the call on the button. Qun Dang, however, had other plans and moved all in for 10,500. Yea called in a flash, while Gumz took a moment before deciding to come along as well.

The flop, turn, and river ran out A3854, and with four clubs on the board, the players checked it down to showdown.

Gumz revealed 1010 for a pair of tens, but Dang tabled KJ for a flush and claimed the pot for his triple-up.

Liang's Aggression Pays Off

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

The flop came 1034 and after a check Sowers, Moura continued with a 3,500 bet. Liang re-raised to 13,000 prompting Sowers to ask how many chips he had behind. After a few seconds of thought, he folded and Moura folded right after.

Matthew Belcher
Matthew Belcher

The first player registered for the 2025 World Series of Poker's $100,000 and $250,000 Super High Roller events isn’t a household name like Bonomo, Chidwick, or Ivey, and it’s not often the poker world pauses at the very first name on a registration list.

But as eyes begin to turn to the two biggest buy-in events at this year's WSOP, one name has drawn a double-take: Matt Belcher.
