Action folded to Ignacio Sagra on the button, who raised to 3,300,000. The small blind got out of the way but Xia Wang called from the big blind, putting her all in and at risk.
Xia Wang: A♦6♦
Ignacio Sagra : K♣Q♣
The flop immediately left Wang needing help, coming down 6♣9♠Q♦, improving de Jonge to top pair.
The deck was not forthcoming for Wang, though, the turn 8♥ and river J♣ unable to save her.
Sagra pulled in the pot as Wang took her leave from the feature table.
Just eight players remain in the hunt for a gold bracelet and the top prize of $335,390, as the final day of Event #59: $1,000 Battle of the Ages gets underway at the 2025 World Series of Poker inside the Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas.
It’s been a generational clash from the start, and now the stakes are higher than ever with the bulk of the $2,705,120 up for grabs on an unscheduled Day 3. One member of the over-50 club has made it through, and he’s not just surviving; he’s thriving.
Joseph Roh, the oldest player left in the field, returns as chip leader with 17,375,000. He’s also the last remaining representative of Day 1a and will be looking to add a second WSOP bracelet to his resume while flying the flag for experience over youth.

Fittingly, sitting right behind him in second place is Srivinay Irrinki, the youngest player remaining, with 14,850,000 chips. He surged late on Day 2 after dramatically rivering a full house in the final hand of the night. Fellow youngsters Jack Maskill and Ignacio Sagra are also in contention with 7,350,000 and 6,000,000, respectively.
With an average stack of just 15 big blinds, expect fireworks from the start as short stacks like Xia Wang and Sebastiaan de Jonge look for early spots to spin it up.
