Winter Can't Manifest a Spin Up

Tim Baker

Level 12 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Sean Winter raised to 125,000 from early position, leaving just 5,000 behind. Ben Tollerene three-bet to 240,000 from the small blind. When it got back to Winter, he called for his last chip.

Sean Winter: 10♥8♥ All in
Ben Tollerene: Q♣9♣

Tollerene's queen-high would remain good on the 9♥K♥K♠K♦2♠ runout, sending Winter out of the door.

Level 12 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Nick Petrangelo raised it up from the cutoff and Leonard Maue three-bet out of the small blind. Petrangelo called and they went heads-up to a flop of K♥J♦7♣ with around 500,000 in the middle. Maue led out with a bet of 265,000 and Petrangelo called.

The turn was the 4♣ and Maue fired out another bet of 400,000. Petrangelo shipped all in as the bigger stack and Maue eventually called off his stack of around 1,200,000.

Petrangelo flipped over K♦Q♠ for top pair and had Maue drawing to just a single out with Q♥Q♦. The 8♠ hit the river and Maue was eliminated, sending his chips over to Petrangelo.

"It doesn't get much better than that," Petrangelo said moments later.

Martin Kabrhel raised to 120,000 from middle position before Danny Tang three-bet to 250,000 from the cutoff.

Both players checked a board of 9♠10♥8♥5♣J♥ all the way down, and Kabhrel turned over K♠J♣ for a rivered pair of jacks. Tang mucked, and Kabrhel won the pot.

Jon Sofen

Level 12 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 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 12 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Daniel Negreanu opened to 125,000 from under the gun and Mikita Badziakouski three-bet to 325,000 from the next seat. Negreanu four-bet jammed a stack of around 1,700,000 and Badziakouski called.

Daniel Negreanu: A♦A♣ All in
Mikita Badziakouski: A♥Q♥

The flop of 5♠J♦3♠ was no help to Badziakouski but the 10♥ turn kept things interesting as he picked up Broadway outs. But the river bricked off the 6♥ as Negreanu doubled up with aces.

Player	Chips	Progress
Daniel Negreanu	3,500,000 1,880,000	1,880,000

Mikita Badziakouski	2,400,000 300,000	300,000

Foxen Puts Tang in the Tank

Level 12 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Alex Foxen raised it up from middle position and Danny Tang called from the big blind. The flop came 8♦7♥4♦ and Tang check-called a bet of 165,000 from Foxen.

The turn brought the 3♣ and Tang checked again. Foxen just ripped all in and Tang looked bamboozled as he leaned back in his chair.

"I'm not slow-rolling you, but it's a $250k," Tang said as he threw in all of his time banks. After burning through four of them, Tang finally threw his cards into the muck.

Foxen threw his cards across the table, letting Tang look at one of them.

"I'm not that mad about it. You probably have lots of outs," Tang commented before departing the table for a new one.

Player	Chips	Progress
Alex Foxen	2,350,000 425,000	425,000

Danny Tang	1,040,000 1,235,000	1,235,000

Level 12 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Biao Ding opened the cutoff and Isaac Haxton defending his big blind.

On the A♥J♦6♠ flop, Ding continued for 90,000 and Haxton put in the call.

Ding sized up to 325,000 on the K♣ turn but Haxton was a non-believer as he called once again.

On the 6♣ river, Haxton checked for a third time to Ding who did not take long before he announced all-in with the covering stack. Haxton gave it a small think before he shrugged as tossed in the call for his remaining 1,225,000.

Isaac Haxton: A♦5♦ All in
Biao Ding: Q♠10♥

Ding turned the nut straight as Haxton called down with top pair and his day was cut short.

Level 12 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Taylor von Kriegenbergh got the last of his chips into the middle from middle position against Biao Ding from the big blind.

Taylor von Kriegenbergh: J♣J♦ All in
Biao Ding: 10♠10♣

Von Kriegenbergh had the bigger pair and looked likely to double-up, if he could fade a ten on the runout. The flop of A♥10♥5♦ was disastrous for Von Kriegenbergh, as Ding spiked a set to take the lead. The remainder of the board came 9♣3♣, and Von Kriegenbergh hit the rail.

Level 11 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

[Removed:607] was down to just 180,000 and shoved all in from middle position. Mikita Badziakouski and Emilien Pitavy both called from the blinds as the dealer fanned the flop of K♥3♣2♥. Badziakouski led out with a bet of 100,000 and Pitavy quickly folded.

[Removed:607]: A♠2♦ All in
Mikita Badziakouski: A♦9♠

[Removed:608] managed to flop a pair of deuces and held the lead against Badziakouski's ace-high. The 8♦ and 5♥ runout was no help for Badziakouski, sending the pot to [Removed:608].
