Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Phil Ivey had only played a few hands at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) before he ran into a weird situation 10 minutes after max late registering for Event #3: $5,000 8-Handed No-Limit Hold'em.

The 11-time bracelet winner entered the tournament at the start of Level 13 on Day 2 with just 12.5 big blinds. He folded his first few hands before playing a pot from the big blind that ended with the floor supervisor being called over to rule on his river bet.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Three ways to a flop of A♠4♥2♠, Killian Desnos checked, Jeff Madsen bet 7,100, Niberson Dorleus folded, and Desnos made the call.

Heads up, they saw the A♣ and Desnos check-folded when Madsen bet 11,500.

As he mucked, Desnos flashed queen-high to the table, showing that he had floated Madsen a street but chose not to continue.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Daniel Negreanu, firing his second bullet of the day, managed to come from behind against two players to stay alive in the tournament.

Playing from the small blind, Negreanu completed the call against four limpers, then checked the flop.

Mark Fisher raised to 5,600 chips, Negreanu went all-in over the top for just 5k more. Jonathan Borenstein hopped in as well for his remaining 10,600 chips.

Daniel Negreanu Q♠J♣10♠4♣[all-in]

Jonathan Borenstein A♥K♠J♥2♥[all-in]

Mark Fisher K♣J♠9♦8♥

The flop came Q♣10♦A♣ giving Fisher and Borenstein ace-high straights. Negreanu had a flush draw and a straight draw to Broadway as well.

When the 6♣ turned, Negreanu owned the hand with a jack-high flush.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Jorge Ufano raised to 2,200 from under the gun, and after a call from Matthew Wantman from the small blind, Angelo Kozonis bumped the price of admission to 8,800 from the big blind. Ufano called while Wantman got out of the way.

A flop of K♠10♦9♦ was dealt, and the action was checked around.

On an 8♦ turn card, Kozonis checked once again. Ufano elected to bet 7,400, and Kozonis called.

The A♠ peeled off on the river, and a third check from Kozonis came in. Ufano put out a pot-sized bet of 35,400. After some deliberation, Kozonis made the call, and was shown the goods.

Jorge Ufano: K♦K♣J♦3♦
