Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Nick Guagenti: A♣9♦9♥5♦2♠ All in
John Bunch: A♥Q♥Q♠4♠2♣

Guagenti flopped a flush, while the Q♦ turn gave Bunch some outs with a set. The 3♣ river improved Bunch to a full house and Guagenti was sent to the rail.

"John the Box," tablemate Kyle Miholich told Bunch.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Alex Livingston made it 15,000 to go from middle position with Phil Hellmuth calling from the cutoff. From the button, Dylan Weisman squeezed it up to 69,000, which Livingstone called. Hellmuth mulled it over for quite some time before electing to fold.

Livingston jammed for Weisman's remaining 80,000 or so chips on the 9♥7♥5♣ flop. Weisman called.

Dylan Weisman: A♠K♥J♥8♥3♠ All in
Alex Livingston: A♦7♣6♣5♦3♥

Livingstone had bottom two pair, but Weisman had a lot of outs that he could hit with two cards to come. The rest of the board came 4♥K♣, improving Weisman to a flush. Both players had the same low, but because Weisman won the high, he got three-quarters of the pot.

Dylan Weisman	350,000 98,000	98,000

Phil Hellmuth	290,000 166,000	166,000

Luis Velador limped in from the hijack before Sean Troha raised to 33,000 in the cutoff. Velador called and they went heads-up to the 10♦8♥5♠ flop.

Velador then bet 80,000 and Troha moved all in for 132,000 as Velador quickly called.

Sean Troha: A♠A♥Q♠9♥6♠ All in
Luis Velador: A♣7♦6♥6♣3♦

Velador was on a straight draw against Troha's aces, but it was Troha who ended up making a straight on the 10♣J♦ runout to secure the double up.

Four players saw a flop of 9♥J♣9♠ when Brad Ruben bet 13,000 from the cutoff. Andrew Yeh called in the big blind, while Matthew Beinner and Sam Soverel got out of the way.

Both players checked the A♦ turn. Yeh then led out for 28,000 on the 10♥ river and Ruben called.

Ruben showed A♣Q♣9♣7♠3♦ for nines full of aces, and Yeh flashed 10♠9♦ as he mucked.

The $250,000 Super High Roller — the biggest buy-in on the 2025 World Series of Poker schedule — got underway Sunday at noon inside Paris Las Vegas. And it didn’t take long for fireworks.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

"You might want to stay around for this," Shawn Rice said as Nick Schulman had three-bet to 86,000 in the small blind. Eric Wasserson called under the gun, while Calvin Anderson also called in middle position. Action went on Matt Livingston and he also called on the button.

"You don't see too many of these," Christopher Costa said.

"No you don't" Rice added.

The flop came 10♥Q♣4♦ and Schulman moved all in. Wasserson snap-called for 115,000, while Anderson also stuck in his last 180,000. "I got stuck in there," Livingston said as he mucked.

Eric Wasserson: A♠J♦9♠6♣2♦ All in
Calvin Anderson: A♥10♦10♣8♦2♥ All in
Nick Schulman: A♦A♣7♣7♦3♣

Anderson had flopped a set to take the lead, while Wasserson was on a straight draw. The 8♣ turn gave Wasserson his straight, but Anderson spiked the 4♥ on the river to make a full house and scoop the entire pot, doubling up off Schulman while sending Wasserson to the rail.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

With roughly 200,000 already in the pot preflop, Arthur Morris jammed for his final 57,000 on the 9♣4♣8♦ flop. Tyler Brown called from the cutoff and the cards were turned over.

Arthur Morris: A♠A♥J♦8♥6♥ All in
Tyler Brown: A♦K♦Q♥2♣5♦

The Q♣ turn and 4♥ river completed the board, which meant that as no low was available, Morris' aces won the pot and he doubled-up.
