2025 World Series of Poker
Action folded around to Ethan Cahn in the small blind. Cahn completed his blind and Martin Kabrhel bumped the price of admission to 125,000; Cahn called.
On a flop of Q♥6♦3♣, Cahn knuckled and Kabrhel fired 130,000. Once again, Cahn called.
The dealer peeled off a K♥ on the turn which was followed by another check from Cahn. Kabrhel sent Cahn's remaining 480,000 into the middle and Cahn entered the tank for his tournament life.
Visibly in distress, he took some time before begrudgingly making the call.
Ethan Cahn: Q♣10♣9♥5♥
Martin Kabrhel: K♠J♠10♦4♣
The 2♠ river was no help to Cahn, and he headed home in 15th place.
Shortly after surrendering a pot on the river to Lorenz Schollhorn, Anthony Hu was already short-stacked when he defended an open from Christopher Demaci.
Hu ended getting his chips into the middle on a queen-high flop.
Anthony Hu: 10♣10♥6♣3♣
Christopher Demaci: A♣Q♦9♦4♣
Hu was still drawing live but when the turn and river bricked out, Demaci's pair of queens were enough to win the pot.
