Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Tyler Montoya

Michael Dwyer and Tyler Montoya were heads-up in a pot that saw the flop of 9♣6♦5♦ hit the felt. Within seconds, the two players had all of their chips in the middle with Dwyer being the player at risk for around 28,000.

Michael Dwyer: J♣J♦All in
Tyler Montoya: 8♣7♦

Montoya flopped a straight against the overpair of Dwyer who was left drawing slim. The A♠ and 4♥ runout left Montoya with the nuts as Dwyer departed and wished the table good luck.

Montoya is one of the few millionaires to be crowned at the 2025 WSOP in Las Vegas thus far, but not because of winning a tournament. Montoya's million-dollar payday came in the form of drawing one of the largest bounties in Event #1. Montoya mentioned that he would increase his summer schedule and added this event as one of the must-plays.

Cesar Garcia raised to 1,100 from the button but Alexandre Reard in the small blind three-bet to 5,000. Remi Derossi in the big blind folded and Garcia called.

The Q♣ river was checked by Reard with J♥10♥ for a missed flush draw. Garcia checked back with A♣4♣ and won the pot.

With around 30,000 already in the pot and the board showing 6♥4♠Q♦4♦8♥, Ari Shin in the cutoff checked to Sonny Franco, who decided to go all in, covering Shin.

Shin, now in the decision for his tournament life, took his time, and counted his stack multiple times, but made the fold in the end, giving up a decent pot.

The pot stood at around 2,400, and the flop showed 5♦8♣7♥. Jakob Miegel in the big blind checked to Alexander Lynskey in the cutoff, who bet 1,600. After double-checking his cards, Miegel made the call.

Both players checked the 3♦ turn.

On the 3♠ river, it was Miegel who led out a bet of 1,600 only to face a raise of 7,000 from Lynskey. Miegel shook his head, visibly displeased about the raise, but decided to call in the end. Lynskey showed K♣4♣ for a solid bluff whilst Miegel tabled 10♠8♦ for top pair.

Six-way on a flop of 2♥5♣A♥, everybody checked to Michel Molenaar on the button who bet 2,000. One after the other, all of his opponents folded except for Boris Angelov in the hijack who called.

Angelov and Molenaar checked the 6♦ turn and the 9♠, so Angelov revealed A♦4♦ for a pair. Molenaar had a better kicker with A♣10♣ and won the pot.

In two consecutive hands, Tom Fuchs found himself in the mix. First, he took down a pot of around 4,000 with A♥3♥ on a 3♦Q♦9♦4♥Xx board against Valentin Oberhauser.
