Ivey Calls with One Pair

Adam Lamers

Level 26 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Phil Ivey opened to 440,000 from under the gun and Dennis Weiss defended from the big blind. The flop came J♠8♣2♥ and the action checked through to the 10♥ on the turn and the 9♦ on the river.

Weiss finally led out with a bet of 550,000 and Ivey contemplated for a moment before making the call. Weiss turned over A♣5♠3♣2♣ for just a pair of deuces while Ivey showed A♥K♥K♣10♣ for a pair of kings to win the pot.

Level 26 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Najeem Ajez opened to 555,000 from under the gun and Dennis Weiss three-bet to 1,905,000 on his left. The action folded back to Ajez who called to see a flop of Q♠Q♥6♥. Ajez checked to Weiss who continued with a bet of 1,200,000 and Ajez check-raised all in. Weiss called off his stack of 4,015,000 and the cards were on their backs.

Dennis Weiss: A♠A♥5♥2♣ All in
Najeem Ajez: J♥10♠8♥5♠

Ajez had a flush draw but it was dead to the nut flush draw and pocket aces of Weiss. The turn brought the 10♥ to complete the flush for Weiss but it actually gave Ajez a single out to a straight flush. The river was the K♠ and Ajez was forced to pass over a large portion of his stack.

Level 26 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Phil Ivey is starting to heat up at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP), and he could be just one day away from capturing his 12th gold bracelet.

The Poker Hall of Famer, with 10 players remaining at the time of publishing, held the chip lead in Event #51: $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller, a tournament with 489 entrants.

Bryn Kenney, who is closing in on $80 million in live tournament cashes, busted in 11th place ($134,007). The remaining players still have a shot at the $2,292,155 first-place prize, to be awarded on Friday.

Level 26 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

The action was limped around to Gjergj Sinishtaj in the big blind who made it 800,000 to go. Dennis Weiss called from the cutoff and they went heads-up to a flop of A♠7♣4♠. Sinishtaj led out with a pot-sized bet of 2,080,000 and Weiss jammed all in as the bigger stack. Sinishtaj called off his stack of 5,070,000 and the cards were face up.

Gjergj Sinishtaj: K♣K♦6♣5♠ All in
Dennis Weiss: 9♥9♣7♥7♦

Weiss flopped a set of sevens but Sinishtaj held a straight draw and an opportunity at a bigger set. However, the 7♠ on the turn gave Weiss quads and Sinishtaj was left drawing dead to the Q♥ on the river.
