Martin Kabrhel spent time in the aisle stretching to get his body ready before taking a seat in the tournament. He was also chewing gum, presumably to loosen up his jaws.

Players are on a 20-minute break.
Before the 2025 World Series of Poker started, Chad Holloway and Mike Holtz were joined by Joey Ingram and Christina Gollins on the PokerNews Podcast to host the show's first-ever Fantasy Draft!
After reviewing the scoring system and choosing team names, a draft was conducted and the stakes were set. The owner of the worst team will buy the winning three teams a nice Las Vegas dinner. Plus, fans can choose which team they're rooting for, and if that team wins, they'll be entered into a random giveaway.
Who was drafted early? Who was put on the bench? And who wasn't drafted at all?

Rajesh Vohra: 8♣8♠
John Armbrust: J♥J♠
The river A♥ gave Armbrust a flush but Vohra's four-of-a-kind was the nuts and Arbrust was eliminated shortly after.

Ante: 4,000
We picked up the action on the flop with over 100,000 chips in the middle. Yunlamkevin Choi in the small blind was heads-up with Lisa Tan in the big blind. The flop read A♠K♥5♣ and Choi check-called the 30,000 chip bet from Tan.
After the 4♠ turn card, Choi checked, Tan went all-in for 90,500 chips, and was beaten into the middle by Choi.
Lisa Tan: J♠6♠
Yunlamkevin Choi: A♥A♣
Needing to fade a spade, Choi instead improved to quads on the A♦ river, Tan was eliminated shortly after registration closed.

"Why do they call it no limit? They limit how much you can bet, your stack, and how little you can bet, the big blind. It should be two-limit hold'em." — David Moses.
"There are more germs on a doorknob than a toilet seat."
"What about poker chips?"
"Doesn't matter, I'll take all those germs."
"Come on dealer, even Ray Charles could see that straight, dead or alive."
