Giuseppe Pantaleo raised to 85,000 under the gun and Keith Crowder defended in the big blind.

The flop came K♣A♥7♦ and Crowder check-called a bet of 100,000 from Pantaleo.

On the 10♣ turn, Crowder checked again and Pantaleo fired out a bet of 225,000.

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

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 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.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Isaac Kempton limped in from the button and Robert Giordano completed in the small blind. Michael Reed checked from the big blind.

On the 4♠4♥K♥ flop, it checked to Kempton, who fired 25,000. Giordano called, and Reed folded.

When the 10♦ hit the turn, Giordano bet 100,000, leaving around 40,000 behind. Kempton took a peek at his opponent's stack, then raised, and Giordano called.

Robert Giordano: A♦K♠10♣9♣ All in
Isaac Kempton" J♦J♠6♠4♣

Giordano's turned two pair was no good against the trips of Kempton, and the A♠ river didn't change anything, meaning the Frenchman was eliminated.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Martin Schamaun flatted the big blind from early position, before Philip Shing potted on the button to 110,000. Small blind snap shoved for 125,000. Schamaun called, and Shing's hands were tied as he did the same.

On a 9♣4♠10♠ flop, Schamaun checked over to Shing, who potted it for the second time. Schamaun folded, and the cards were on their backs.

Sebastien Coq: K♥K♣K♠7♥ All in
Philip Shing: A♣A♥8♥7♠

Coq was drawing only to the case King, but couldn't find it on the 7♣3♠ runout, sending him to the rail

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Scott Dulaney raised to 65,000 from the cutoff and found calls from Tomer Daniel in the small blind and Vadim Shlez in the big blind.

The flop came 7♥3♥2♠, and all three players checked and saw the 10♠ peel off on the turn.

Daniel now led out for 200,000. Shlez folded, and Dulaney called. The river brought the Q♣, and now Daniel checked and allowed Dulaney to bet pot, which was 615,000.

Daniel snap called and tabled A♠10♦9♠3♣ for two pair which was crushing Dulaney's 7♣6♥5♥5♣, and he was shipped the monster pot.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Philip Shing limped in middle position, Jacob Snider raised to 110,000 in the hijack and Matthew Beck flatted on the button. Shing got out of the way.

The flop came 9♣2♣4♦ and Snider check-called a bet of 150,000 from Beck, bringing the 6♦ turn.

Snider check-called again, this time for 400,000, and the river fell the 10♦, completing backdoor straight and flush draws.

Both players checked and Beck tabled K♥K♣9♦9♠ for a set of nines to take down the pot.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Giuseppe Pantaleo opened the hijack to 85,000 and Michael Monroig called on the button. Adel Jo also came along from the big blind to see a flop of K♣2♠9♠, which checked through.

Jo checked the A♦ turn and Pantaleo bet 150,000. Monroig called and Jo folded.

A 4♠ hit the river and brought in the front door flush draw, which prompted a bet of 225,000 from Pantaleo. Monroig snap-called.

"You got it," said Pantaleo. Monroig responded by showing K♠Q♣5♠5♣ for a king-high flush, which was good for the pot.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Action was picked up on the river of a board reading 5♠9♥9♠A♦9♣. Three players still had hole cards, and the first to act was Rayan Chamas, who checked his option. Jason Lang then announced "pot," putting 250,000 into the middle. Philip Shing folded, and Rayan Chamas took his time to decide what to do. He then slid in a huge stack of chips, worth 700,000. Lang snap folded.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jason Lang	2,130,000 105,000	105,000

Michael Lin raised to 85,000 in middle position and Tomer Daniel called in the small blind.

The flop came 8♣3♦J♦, Daniel checked, and Lin bet 75,000. Daniel then potted it to 445,000, prompting Lin to go into the tank.

Clearly faced with a tough decision, Lin counted out his remaining chips and took some time to consider his options before ultimately tossing his cards into the muck.

Nut Flush For Punsri as Andia Exits

Kai Cocklin

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Jorge Paredes Andia was already all-in for his last few chips with Punnat Punsri and Amnon Filippi both still in the pot. Both active players checked the 3♦7♥K♥ flop to the 3♥ turn, where Filippi check-called a bet of 50,000 from Punsri.

An 8♥ hit the river and again Filippi check-called after Punsri fired 100,000.

"Nut flush," said Punsri as he flipped A♥9♥9♣Xx.

Filippi couldn't believe it as he rolled over A♦K♦Q♥2♥ for the second-nut flush and forfeited the side pot over to Punsri. Andia needed a full house or better to stay alive, but his hand was no good and quickly hit the muck.

Player	Chips	Progress
Punnat Punsri	2,100,000 705,000	705,000

Amnon Filippi	775,000 175,000	175,000
