Level 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Joseph Williams moved his last few big blinds into the pot from the hijack and got called by Ivan Ruban in the small blind and Remy Murcia in the big blind.

The two active players checked to the river on Q♦4♦9♣2♣10♥, where Ruban fired a bet and Murcia quickly folded.

Ruban then showed K♦10♠ for a pair of tens, and Williams flipped A♦6♠, which meant he was eliminated.

Level 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

David Uvaydov opened for 1,000,000 in late position and got a three-bet to 3,400,000 from Ashish Gupta on the button. Small Blind player Kenja Wiseman shoved all-in for 3,500,000. With action back to him, Uvaydov decided to fold showing one card - K♦. Gupta called taking the two players to showdown.

Kenja Wiseman: K♠K♥ All in
Ashish Gupta: A♠K♣

The flop came A♣3♥5♥ giving Gupta an ace and evoking a comment from Wiseman, "I deserved that," as he started to get on his feet.

Wiseman stopped on his tracks when the turn 7♥ fell as it gave him hope with a flush draw. The last street was dealt with a 6♥ making the table say "Wow," in unison.

Wiseman's flush was completed and was able to continue his tournament run.

Player	Chips	Progress
Ashish Gupta	20,500,000 4,475,000	4,475,000
Kenja Wiseman	8,250,000 21,750,000	21,750,000

Level 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Action was picked up with two players in an all-in showdown.

Tomas Szwarcberg: K♠K♦ All in
Dylan Linde: Q♥Q♣

Szwarcberg stood up visibly disappointed when the flop dropped 8♣Q♦A♦ shifting the lead to Linde who caught a set. The runout 9♠6♣ didn't improve Szwarcberg's hand sending him to the rails.

Chang Can't Overcome Holland's Nines

Kai Cocklin

Level 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Maxx Holland opened to 1,200,000 from early position and Andrew Chang shoved for around 7,600,000 from the hijack. Once it got back to Holland, he called with a slightly covering stack.

Andrew Chang: A♦8♦ All in
Maxx Holland: 9♦9♠

Chang needed to connect with his ace or find some diamonds, but didn't find much to work with on the 2♠4♣K♦ flop. A Q♣ on the turn left him with just three outs, and the 3♣ river wasn't what he needed, which meant he was eliminated.

Kenja Wiseman: 9♣9♥ All in

Op-Ed: Is Martin Kabrhel's Act Good for Poker and the WSOP?

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Jon Sofen

Level 35 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

No player has commanded more attention at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) than Martin Kabrhel, partly for his strong performance, but mostly for his antics.

The clock has been called on the Czech high roller more often this summer than the Paris Hotel parking garage attendant, and he's been yapping away so much at the poker tables that even Daniel Negreanu had enough during a recent final table appearance.

Regardless of my or your take on Kabrhel's behavior, he has people talking about poker. He's bringing attention to the 2025 WSOP, and many seem to be enjoying the Kabrhel video clips shared on social media.
