Phil Hellmuth predicted "fake news" Doug Polk would call him out for going back on his original world to skip the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event. It turns ou, he was right.
Polk released a YouTube video on Friday in which he bashed the Poker Hall of Famer for deleting a fan poll. Hellmuth said in February that he wouldn't play this year's Main Event, a tournament he won in 1989, due to the grueling structure not being conducive to older poker players.

Blinds: 8,000/16,000

Shaun Deeb was seen doubling up through Fabian Riebauschmithals on a board of 9♦10♥4♦2♠K♦ when he rivered the nut flush holding A♦Q♣8♦6♥.
Deeb was recently moved to Martin Kabrhel's table and he has become the newest victim of his interrogations.
Kabrhel went as far as asking if Deeb was addicted to fast food, as well as questioning how his most recent double up occurred, as he was busy pacing around the room, eyeing various stacks.
