Wilkie Set-Over-Sets Borlan on the River

Laura Fryer

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Steven Wilkie was all in from a middle position for around 200,000 and action was on Borlan in the hijack. Borlan called, and the players flipped their cards.

Steven Wilkie: 10♠10♥All in
Danserban Borlan: 9♦9♣

The flop came 8♥3♦A♠ which kept Wilkie ahead.

The 9♥ was turned giving Borlan the lead with a set of nines and Wilkie started to stand from the table, thinking he was going to bust.

Wilkie hit a ten on the 10♣ river, and resumed his seat at the table.

Bruno Furth

Caleb Furth, known to most as Bruno, had already proven his chops on the felt before the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP). But he's taken his game to the next level this summer — or about three levels — and he might be just getting started.

The Las Vegas local won his first bracelet last year, a $265,361 score for taking down the $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better event, beating out 1,277 entrants. That victory was just the start of much bigger things to come.

Farley Penaflorida put himself at risk from middle position and was called by Samir Bhatia in late position.

Farley Penaflorida: 2♣2♠All in
Samir Bhatia: A♥K♣

Penaflorida's ducks improved to a set when the flop fanned out 3♥7♦2♦. The J♣ sealed the deal as the meaningless 3♠ came on the river to improve Penaflorida to a full house.
