Full House, Flush and Queens

Maxime Taldir

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

On a flop of 8♥2♣8♣, Guy Cicconi in the big blind moved all in for 105,000 and was called by Yan Yan in the cutoff and Anatoly Korochenskiy on the button.

Yan checked the A♠, allowing Korochenskiy to go all in for roughly 270,000. Yan, who was slightly covered, went deep into the tank. "Ok, I call," he eventually said.

Guy Cicconi: 2♥2♠ All in
Yan Yan: Q♦Q♣ All in
Anatoly Korochenskiy A♣5♣

"Yes, yes," Korochenskiy cheered when he hit a flush with the 4♣ river before realizing that Cicconi had the best hand with a full house. Anyway, he scooped the side pot while Yan was eliminated.

'Rampage' Struggling to Spin it Up at 2025 World Series of Poker -- 'Ready to Quit'

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Jon Sofen

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Ethan "Rampage" Yau says he's "ready to quit" three weeks into the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) after numerous early eliminations and zero WSOP final tables.

But don't expect the poker vlogger to actually quit the bracelet chase. Rampage has racked up quite a few cashes this summer, but all for small amounts, and he's fired more bullets than Scott Seiver in a Flip & Go.

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Two players, heads-up, checked the flop of 5♠A♣5♥, and a pot of 150,000. On the turn Q♦, Alexander Dmytraczenko in the small blind bet 70,000 and Larry Smith, on the button, called, leaving only 11,000 behind.

The river 8♣ dropped on the river and Dmytraczenko checked. Smith placed in his last 11,000 which Dmytraczenko easily called.

Smith turned over Q♣J♦ evoking an loud "G****mn!" from Dmytraczenko as he turned over J♥J♣
