Fishman then proceeded to call bets from Rast on every street and Rast tabled 9x7x4x for a seven.

Maksim Pisarenko: XxXx / 9x7x - folded on fourth street

Christian Roberts was forced all-in after being reduced to his final ante by Ryutaro Suzuki in the previous hand.

Suzuki completed and was called by Maksim Pisarenko and Andrew Yeh.

Suzuki's bet on fourth folded out Pisarenko while Yeh stuck around. Yeh then check-called a bet on fifth street. The active players then checked through to showdown.

Suzuki could only show a jack-seven while Yeh's ten-eight was good for the side pot.

Roberts got the "auto-win" when he turned over a 5x to make 9-6-5-3-A.

Ren Lin: Kx4x/6x6xKx2x/10x All in
Ray Fishman: Ax3x/2x8x3xJx/4x

Ren Lin was already all in from the antes and Ray Fishman completed. Everyone one else got out of the way and board were run.

"I haven't looked yet," Fishman said as he turned over his hole cards. "Oh my God! I swear I didn't look," Fishman said, surprised to find himself with three cards to a wheel.

Lin drew badly on fourth and fifth street and ended with a king, which was no good against Fishman's eight — eliminating Lin in 15th place.

Alan Keating ‘Got Outplayed’ in WSOP Heads-Up Event; Wants to Face Negreanu

Limits: 15,000-30,000

Alan Keating had an opportunity to prove to the high-stakes tournament grinders — notably, Daniel Negreanu — that he can hang in their arena. But the Hustler Casino Live fan favorite bowed out in the second round of Event #7: $25,000 Heads-Up Championship on Friday at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP).

Keating, known primarily for his high-stakes cash game appearances, has over $200,000 in career WSOP earnings but hasn’t recorded a WSOP cash since 2013. Recently, he’s been publicly challenged by several high-stakes pros—including Negreanu — to step outside the comfort of the private cash game scene and compete against the game's elites.

It seems Negreanu was on Keating’s mind when he registered for the event. When PokerNews caught up with him and asked about his motivation for playing, Keating said, “It’s a heads-up tournament, and I saw Negreanu was on the list,” adding that he thought to himself, “Alright, here’s my chance to find him in his streets.”
