Bohn's Stack Goes Up, Chen's Goes Down

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

With around 7,000 in the pot on a 35Q10 board, Dong Chen fired 5,200 from the small blind and Blake Bohn called in the big blind. Natalie Ferguson was on the button and folded.

A J fell on the river and Chen decided to check with around 20,000 behind. Bohn then bet 9,000, and Chen quickly folded.

2025 WSOP 'Not Going to Be About Results' for Daniel Negreanu

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

Daniel Negreanu will enter the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) "with a little bit of a different attitude" in his first year of Seniors Event eligibility, GGPoker's top ambassador told PokerNews.

The 50-year-old is coming off three straight losing summers. But that doesn't concern him, especially considering he ended an 11-year bracelet drought in 2024 when he took down the prestigious $50,000 Poker Players Championship. He's more focused on having fun and playing sound poker than the results.

"The World Series for me, it's not going to be about results that much, because that's luck, right," Negreanu explained. "Luck is going to play into the results. For me, I want to have a good time."

Rheem Shows Broadway

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

From under the gun, Chino Rheem raised to 2,000. Steve Begleiter was the only player to get involved, calling from the button.

Both players checked the 10J10 flop before seeing a A turn. Rheem led out for 2,000, Begleiter called.

The river brought the 4 and Rheem bet again, this time for 5,000.

Once Begleiter called, Rheem tabled KQ, good enough to lay claim to the pot.

Hero Call from Hizer

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

There were roughly 9,000 chips in the pot on a board of 98A. Michael Pempin bet 3,200 from early position when the 5 hit the turn and Paul Hizer called from the big blind.

Pempin fired out another bet of 6,400 when the 8 hit the river. Hizer counted out the bet and thought about his option for around 90 seconds before he eventually flicked in the call and got shown AQ which scooped the pot for Pempin.
