Joseph Berg

Level 26 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Robin Pommepuy raised to 200,000 from middle position and was called by Shanti Delauneyyard in late position and Terrance Reid from the big blind.

Action checked around on the 7♠5♠10♣ flop.

The turn was the 6♠, Reid checked, Pommepuy bet 150,000, and Reid called.

The river was the 8♥, Reid led out for 600,000. Pommepuy took his time before sending his cards into the muck.

Player	Chips	Progress
Terrance Reid	2,200,000 450,000	450,000

Level 26 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Haixiao Li raised from the hijack to 300,000, which Nicholas Verret, one seat to her left, called. Action then folded to Jose Pacheco in the big blind, who moved all in covering both players.

Li spent a little while deliberating how best to proceed. Looking Pacheco up and down, she eventually, reluctantly folded. Verret didn't have the same kind of decision as he returned his cards to the dealer straight away.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jose Pacheco	5,200,000 3,800,000	3,800,000
Nicholas Verret	3,300,000 2,110,000	2,110,000
Haixiao Li	2,100,000 1,835,000	1,835,000

Level 26 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Action was folded around to Craig Bateman on the button, who open-jammed all in for his last 405,000 and found a call from Tefan Liu in the big blind.

Craig Bateman: Q♠J♠ All in
Tefan Liu: K♣9♣

It was looking like curtains for Bateman on the 5♥A♦10♠ flop and 7♣ turn but then the Q♥ peeled off on the river to make him a pair and a full double-up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Tefan Liu	4,300,000 2,615,000	2,615,000
Craig Bateman	840,000 305,000	305,000

Level 26 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

After a raise from Briant Alavez from the hijack, Stephan Campbell moved all in for roughly 675,000. The action folded back to Alavez, who made the call.

Stephan Campbell: K♣Q♠ All in
Briant Alavez: K♠9♦

A promising position for Campbell to start spinning up a stack, and when the board ran out 3♦3♠A♥6♦8♠, he pulled in the pot to continue his run in the event.

Player	Chips	Progress
Briant Alavez	2,000,000 400,000	400,000
Stephan Campbell	1,600,000 955,000	955,000

Level 27 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Edward Flattery raised to 650,000 from under the gun with only 75,000 left in his stack. Marc Korner called from the big blind.

The players saw a 4♥2♦7♠ flop. Korner bet 75,000, putting Flattery all-in, and Flattery made the call, needing help.

Edward Flattery: A♣10♠ All in
Marc Korner: A♠K♣

The turn 6♣ and river 8♦ were of no assistance, sending Flattery to the payout desk.

Bad Orbit for Li

Stewart Morrison

Level 27 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Having just lost with pocket aces versus pocket tens on a ten-high board, Haixiao Li found herself back amongst the action just a couple of hands later.

Brandon Tucker moved all in under the gun for 415,000, and Li was the only player to make the call.

Brandon Tucker: A♣10♣ All in
Haixiao Li: A♥4♥

Li found herself dominated, but the flop 6♥J♥A♠ improved her to a flush draw, making Tucker sweat.

The turn 5♣ was no help to Li, and the river 10♠ only served to improve Tucker to two pair, ensuring the pot was pushed in his direction.

Player	Chips	Progress
Haixiao Li	1,150,000 950,000	950,000
Brandon Tucker	1,080,000 830,000	830,000

We are Witnessing One of the Most Legendary Runs Ever at the WSOP

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Jon Sofen

Level 27 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

One win (so far). One second-place finish. Three final table appearances, all within the past three years ... in the same event.

Let us introduce Japanese poker player Shiina Okamoto, the defending champion in the $1,000 Ladies Championship at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP), who will enter Sunday's final table with the chip lead.

Michael Mizrachi made history on Saturday by winning his fourth Poker Players Championship bracelet. He not only became the first player ever to win the same major poker tournament four times, but he did so in what many consider to be the second most prestigious event in the world. Okamoto, regardless of what position she finishes at the final table, is making history of her own.
