Shawn Stroke was on the button and moved all in for his remaining 125,000 after David Baker opened from the cutoff. Tyler Gaston called from middle position and Baker folded, leaving the players to go heads-up.
Shawn Stroke: A♣Q♠
Tyler Gaston: K♦10♠
Stroke only improved on the 6♦A♦7♥ flop, and the low 3♦, 4♣ runout secured him the double.
Gyeongbyeong Lee started with a raise to 20,000 in the cutoff and received calls from Toshio Nanao and Roi Sabag in the blinds.
The flop revealed 2♦9♦3♦ and Nanao led out for 50,000. Roi quickly folded and Lee decided to raise it to 150,000. After some thinking, Nanao released his cards into the muck.

Reigning World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event champion Jonathan Tamayo flipped his way into this year's championship event, meaning he won't even have to put up the $10,000 buy-in to defend his title.
Tamayo announced on Sunday that he won a WSOP Online $160 All-In Flipament, a flip-and-go-style event that puts players all-in blind and that needs 64 players to run, according to Kevin Mathers.
Tamayo demonstrated his luck a year ago when he navigated the largest WSOP Main Event field in history to win $10 million. The longtime poker pro from Texas proved luck is still on his side in 2025.
"I won the 3pm one it seems," Tamayo wrote on X.
The remaining 803 players are now on a 60-minute dinner break. Play is expected to resume at approximately 7:27 p.m in Level 14 with 5,000/10,000 blinds and 10,000 big blind ante.
Soo Chang raised to 16,000 on the button. Richard Troendly re-raised to 48,000 and Chang called taking both of them to the flop.
The dealer fanned out 8♥Q♥3♣ which both players checked. The turn 6♦ dropped and Troendly fired 25,000. Chang called once again.
On the river 10♥ Troendly slowed the action down with a check. Chang keeping the action going shoved all-in for around 150,000 sending Troendly to the tank.
Troendly looked at his stack, separated the 150,000, then put it back. He looked at the flop for a few seconds then mucked his cards, stating that Chang probably had a flush.
As Chang scooped the pot, Troendly said he had two pair, to which Chang jokingly asked, "Why didn't you call?"
Kachun Kan fired a raise from under the gun, and David Dibernardi three-bet from the cutoff, which drew a jam from Kan and an all-in call from Dibernardi.
David Dibernardi: A♠A♥
Kachun Kan: 3♣3♠
The runout Q♠A♦2♣J♣Q♣ resulted in a full house for Dibernardi, who doubled up into more than a million chips.
The pot was already substantial before Ciaran Duffy threw in his last 120,000 chips on a board of A♦7♠10♠4♣9♠. Christian Hanschirik quickly made the call.
Ciaran Duffy: 10♦10♥
Christian Hanschirik: A♣A♠
Duffy's set was the smaller one, the nasty break of a top-set-over-middle-set flop.
