Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Caleb Furth raised to 280,000 chips from the big blind and got a call from Fabian Riebau-Schmithals in the big blind.
Both players checked on the flop J♦5♠3♣ and turn 6♥. Furth bet 680,000 after the Q♠ hit the river. Riebau-Schmithals raised the pot and Furth thought for a bit before putting in his chips.
Riebau-Schmithals showed A♥K♣4♦2♥ for a six-high straight. Furth didn't show, but was left with just 340,000 chips after the play.

Jeremy Trojand opened the button to 280,000 which prompted Noel Rodriguez, in the small blind, to ask, "Did you even look?" before mucking his hand.
Trojand shrugged before facing a pot raise from the short-stacked Matthew Cosentino, and his hand was quick to hit the muck.
Cosentino let out a sigh of relief and showed the A♦K♦K♥J♣.
Cosentino has been sweating the final table bubble and recently had clock called on him under the gun, preflop.

: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Ryan Riess, who entered the day as the short stack with just eight blinds, was the first casualty of Day 3.
Five hands into the level, Riess raised to 280,000 chips from the cutoff. Caleb Furth made the call from the big blind.
Ryan Riess: A♠A♦8♠5♣
Caleb Furth: 10♣10♦9♦8♦
On a flop of 5♥6♦9♥, Furth bet enough to put Riess to the test for his remaining chips. He called.
The turn 9♠ gave Furth trips, and the river 6♠ didn't change anything, as Riess was knocked out of the tournament.

Cards will go in the air for the third and final day of Event #5: $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha at the 2025 World Series of Poker at noon at the Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas.. A 757-entry field has been whittled down to just 11 seeking the first-place prize of $620,696 from a $3,573,040 pool.
Roussos Koliakoudakis and Martin Kabrhel are atop the leaderboard with 4.5 million chips each. Fabian Riebau-Schmithals is just behind them at 4.2 million.
Koliakoudakis has never won a bracelet, while Kabrhel has two bracelets and five WSOP rings.
Ryan Riess, the 2013 WSOP Main Event Champion, faces the tough task of being the shortest stack, entering the day with just eight big blinds. Lawrence Brandt, a two-time bracelet winner, who won a $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo event at the 2022 WSOP, is in the middle of the pack.
