Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Playing the $250,000 Super High Roller turned out to be a bad bet for Sean Perry.
The self-proclaimed sports betting guru arrived on Monday to enter Day 2 of the largest buy-in tournament at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP). He lost all of his chips about five minutes after he sat down. But he'll have an opportunity to win it all back soon (or lose more).
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Shawn Sandt moved all in from under the gun for about 275,000 to put himself at risk and Riley Stahley called in the big blind.
Shawn Sandt: 6♥6♠ 
Riley Stahley: K♥10♠
It was a fair fight but Stahley pulled ahead on the K♠J♠K♣ flop, improving to trip kings. The 2♠ turn and Q♦ river offered no help to Sandt, and he was sent packing.

Chester Mead opened in cutoff to 100,000 and got an all-in shove from Michael Gentile for 240,000 from the big blind. Mead called putting Gentile's tournament life on the line.
Michael Gentile: A♥Q♣
Chester Mead : A♦10♣
Gentile had Mead dominated and without anyone hitting the board of 9♣K♠5♠2♠J♠, he boosted his stack to a little but more than ten bigs.

The hand began with a raise by Clark Reynolds to 100,000 from early position. Oliver Heidel made it 280,000 from middle position, and Reynolds called after the table folded back around to him.
Both players checked the 9♦Q♣6♠ flop and the 4♠ turn.
When the 7♠ hit the river, Reynolds fired for 225,000, which elicited a fold from Heidel.

James Reed opened from middle position to 125,000 and Tyler Green moved all in on the button for around 175,000. Steven Johnson was in the small blind and re-jammed for around 1,000,000 and Reed folded.
Tyler Green: A♦K♥
Steven Johnson: Q♦Q♠
Green stormed ahead on the K♦4♥J♣ flop, and secured the double after the 6♠ and 10♠ completed the board.
Johnson remarked after the hand, "I lose with the good hands and win with the bad ones", after he doubled up his opponent.

Calvin Chen raised to 115,000 in early position and was three-bet by Clark Reynolds on the button to 300,000. Chen called and the two saw a flop of 3♦4♦3♠.
Chen led out for 250,000 and Reynolds moved all in to put Chen at risk. Chen had a little over one million behind and made the call.
Calvin Chen: J♣J♦
Clark Reynolds: Q♠Q♣
The 3♥ turn and K♠ river offered no help to Chen and he was sent to the payout desk.

The action was picked up with Brian Lim in the big blind moving all in for 260,000. The hand then folded round to Mario Quijano in the hijack, who had Lim easily covered with around 1,500,000 in chips, and made the call.
Brian Lim: K♠7♠
Mario Quijano: J♦J♠
Quijano was well ahead preflop, and maintained his ascendancy when the first three cards came out 3♥2♣Q♦. A turn of 6♥, before a river of 2♠ was no help for Lim, who exited stage left.
