Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Sean Troha got his last 70,000 in from the button with Matt Vengrin calling out of the big blind to try and bust him.

Sean Troha: K♠J♥10♥2♠ All in
Matt Vengrin: A♣K♣K♥2♦

Troha was dominated by Vengrin's Cowboys and needed some help from the dealer to survive. The board ran out 7♦7♥J♦7♠A♠ to give Vengrin a boat, sending Troha to the rail.

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Action picked up on the river in a hand between Vadim Shlez in the hijack and Rayan Chamas in the cutoff.

With over 500,000 in the middle and the board reading A♥4♠2♦3♠9♦, Shlez led out with a bet of 100,000.

Chamas thought for a moment before making the call, and mucked his cards when Shlez turned over A♠J♠10♣5♠ for the wheel.

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Erik Perez raised to 105,000 on the button and Matthew Beck three-bet to around 400,000 from the small blind. After the big blind folded, Perez called for his last 200,000.

Erik Perez: A♣K♦10♠2♣ All in
Matthew Beck: A♦A♠10♥9♠

Perez didn't find much help on the Q♦7♣2♦ flop, but the K♣ turn improved him to a pair and a lot of outs to win the pot. The 7♥ wasn't one of them and all of Perez's chips were sent over to Beck.

At another table, Keith Crowder was seen exiting his seat and is no longer in the tournament.

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Qiaonan Liu limped under the gun, allowing Isaac Kempton's pot bet to reach 135,000. Aristoteles Neto then shoved for 260,000 when action got to him in the small blind, and Kempton snapped after Liu's fold.

Aristoteles Neto: J♥10♠7♥3♠ All in
Isaac Kempton: A♣A♠J♠9♠

Neto was behind as it stood, but the Q♠K♦9♥ flop sent him straight into the lead, as Kempton could only knock him out with a ten or backdoors. The 6♠ turn brought in an extra sweat, but Neto was able to hold on the 3♦ river to double up.

Aristoteles Neto	610,000 590,000	590,000
Isaac Kempton	305,000 520,000	520,000

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 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.
