Samuel Rosborough kicked things off from middle position with a raise to 200,000. Action folded to Felipe Ramos in the big blind, who took his time before he announced his all-in. When the action was back on Rosborough, he snap-called.

Felipe Ramos: A♣Q♥ All in
Samuel Rosborough: 10♠10♣

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Action folded to Samuel Rosborough in the cutoff, and he decided to go all in. Nobody wanted to call, but Samuel Rosborough in the big blind asked for a count. When the dealer confirmed 735,000, Rosborough put some chips in the middle for a call, and it went to showdown.

Jeremy Saderne: A♥8♦ All in
Samuel Rosborough: A♠6♣

The J♣2♥7♥ flop and the Q♠ promised a lot of split pot out on the river, but the dealer turned the 8♠, a pair for Saderne. Allowing him to double up and stay in the tournament.

Samuel Rosborough	11,265,000 835,000	835,000

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Matan Mesika kicked off the action with an under-the-gun raise to 200,000. Yang Lei was sitting right next to him and made a three-bet to 1,100,000. With the action back to Mesika, he didn't hesitate and went all in, prompting an immediate call from Lei.

Yang Lei: A♦K♠ All in
Matan Mesika: A♠A♥

When the dealer tabled the board with Q♦6♣J♦, Lei screamed, "One time ten, one time!"

But the 5♥ turn and the 2♥ river didn't provide any ten, which meant the elimination for Lei and a decent addition to Mesika's stack.

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Hand 1:
Tanupat Punjarojanakul had just secured a double up after getting in his 400,000 stack with J♥9♥ All in against Asher Conniff, who called off with 2♣8♣. Punjarojanakul collected the pot after rivering the straight on the 10♠7♠A♥Q♦8♦ runout.

Hand 2:
Having just doubled, Punjarojanakul tried his luck again and jammed under the gun, opening discussing at the table, he wanted to "collect the blinds and the ante". Stoyan Madanzhiev was in the hijack and took some time before making the call.

Tanupat Punjarojanakul: A♦K♠ All in
Stoyan Madanzhiev: K♦K♥

The flop went Punjarojanakul's way as he improved to a pair of aces, cracking Madanzhiev's pocket kings.

There was no change on the 7♥ turn or Q♠ river, and Madanzhiev was left with just 180,000 after the hand.

Hand 3:
In the next hand, Madanzhiev raised to 175,000 from early position, leaving himself with one red 5,000 chip behind. Punjarojanakul called the small blind, and the players saw a 8♥J♣10♦ flop.

Punjarojanakul moved 5,000 to the middle, forcing Madanzhiev all-in. He glanced across at the other table before making the call.

Stoyan Madanzhiev: K♠6♣ All in
Tanupat Punjarojanakul: Q♥10♠

Another player at the table remarked, "He's still alive."

But Madanzhiev was eliminated shortly after seeing the A♣ turn and 2♦ river, and Punjarojanakul came back from being one of the shortest stacks.

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

A short-stacked Jeremy Saderne went all in from early position and it looked like it might get through before it got to Charlie Cuff in the big blind, who slammed a call in.

Jeremy Saderne: A♦10♠ All in
Charlie Cuff: A♥A♠

Saderne had a glimmer of hope when the 10♦2♣5♥ fanned out but it wasn't meant to be as the 3♠ and 3♥ completed the board and France's last representative left the field.

Player	Chips	Progress
Charlie Cuff	3,750,000 1,975,000	1,975,000

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

In the first hand, Julio Belluscio was in the cutoff and called a bet of 100,000. Michael Rossitto, sitting in the small blind, responded with a raise to 475,000, and Belluscio came along to see a flop.

The dealer spread Q♣6♣J♦, and both players checked.

When the 8♦ landed on the turn, Belluscio took the initiative with a bet of 700,000. Rossitto responded by check-shoving for his remaining 3,445,000. Belluscio went deep into the tank before folding K♦10♦ face-up, clearly pained by the decision.

Roughly one orbit later, the two were back at it. With about 850,000 already in the middle and the board reading J♠5♦8♥2♦J♦, Rossitto, now in the big blind, led out for 600,000. Belluscio, on the button, raised to around 2,000,000, putting Rossitto in a tough spot.

"I have a jack," Rossitto said, before asking, "Will you show if I fold?"

"It's 50/50," Belluscio replied with a grin. "I'm a river guy, not a turn guy."

After some thought, Rossitto let it go, and Belluscio kept his word, turning over 5♣5♠ for a full house.

Sava Krink

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Action folded around to Kurt Fitzgerald in the small blind, who just completed. Samuel Rosborough raised it to 400,000 from the big blind. Fitzgerald made the call, and they went to a flop of 10♥4♣10♦.

Fitzgerald checked, and Rosborough continued for 375,000, but was met with a quick check-raise to 800,000. Rosborough stuck around and made the call.

The K♣ hit the turn, and Fitzgerald checked again. Rosborough followed up with a bet of 900,000, putting the pressure back on. After some thought, Fitzgerald gave it up and sent his cards to the muck.

Op-Ed: Is Martin Kabrhel's Act Good for Poker and the WSOP?

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Jon Sofen

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

No player has commanded more attention at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) than Martin Kabrhel, partly for his strong performance, but mostly for his antics.

The clock has been called on the Czech high roller more often this summer than the Paris Hotel parking garage attendant, and he's been yapping away so much at the poker tables that even Daniel Negreanu had enough during a recent final table appearance.

Regardless of my or your take on Kabrhel's behavior, he has people talking about poker. He's bringing attention to the 2025 WSOP, and many seem to be enjoying the Kabrhel video clips shared on social media.
