2025 World Series of Poker
The seven remaining players are back are their seats, so the $300 Gladiators of Poker final table can start.
Sang Sim raised to 10,000,000 with A♥A♣ and Roland Israelashvili made the call with 7♦7♣. Joseph Butler put on the squeeze with an all in for 125,000,000 holding A♦9♦. Sim called and Israelashvili folded.
The flop was a dramatic one as the J♦7♥8♦ scrolled across on a board that would have given Israelashvili a set and had Butler plenty live to win a massive pot.
The turn brought the 2♥ and anticipation built as the 6♣ completed the board and eliminated Butler. Sim cheered in victory as Butler came to terms with his exit.

Manuel Reyes went all in for 100,000,000 with A♥7♥ and Yuanzhi Cao called off with A♣Q♠.
The flop was a sweat for Reyes as it fanned out K♥8♠5♥.
Cao's hoped were quickly dashed when the J♥ snapped off the deck. The river came overkill with the 2♥ and Cao said his good games and good byes to his opponents.
