Arthur Schilder called the bring-in, David Levi completed, and Hall of Famer Huck Seed called. Schilder also came along to fourth street, which checked around.

Seed caught a fourth low card on fifth street and bet out. Schilder quickly folded, but Levi stuck around with a call.

Seed made an open pair of eights on sixth street, prompting another bet from him.

"If you just fold, I make three eights," Levi lamented.

"Do you have pocket eights?" Seed asked before Schilder folded the eights in his hole face up. Seed returned the favor by showing his made low.

"He had the better kicker, you made a good fold," Ray Fishman analyzed as the pot was shipped to Seed.

Level 5

Ante: 100
Bring-In: 200
Completion: 600
Limits: 600-1,200

Jesse Lonis: K♥Q♦10♥/Q♥6♦2♣K♣
Satoshi Tanaka: XxXx/8♣2♦8♦5♣/Xx
Jose Razo: A♠7♦5♦/8♠4♥J♣2♠

Catching the action on fourth street, Jesse Lonis bet out and received calles from Satoshi Tanaka and Jose Razo. Tanaka caught an open pair on fifth street, which the trio checked through.

Tanaka then bet on sixth street, which both Razo and Lonis called. On seventh street, Tanaka reverted to checking. Razo then bet, Lonis called, and Tanaka called off as well.

Razo tabled an eight-seven low, and Lonis showed kings and queens for the high half of the pot. Tanaka mucked his cards, and the pot was chopped.

Lonis has amassed over $21 million in lifetime earnings throughout his career, and is known for his prowess in the no-limit hold'em and pot-limit Omaha high roller scene, but still lacks a cash in a stud variant on his Hendon Mob page.

Defending Champion Tangles With "Talonchick"

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Frank Visser

Level 6

Ante: 100
Bring-In: 200
Completion: 600
Limits: 600-1,200

Ten years ago, Adrienne Carter helped promote mixed games when streaming online poker really took off. Under the moniker "Talonchick", she streamed countless hours, introducing a new audience to the various formats poker has to offer.

After taking a step back from the game in 2018, Carter took a different path in life. Poker never fully left her mind, however, as she made a reappearance at the WSOP in 2024, after a 14-year absence.

Getting a taste of glory by making one unofficial final table that year, Carter has returned to the tables this year, and she was involved in a pot with defending champion Nikolay Fal.

Nikolay Fal: J♦7♣4♦/J♠3♣5♦3♦
Adrienne Carter: 8♥8♦Xx/7♥9♥7♦6♠

Fal bet on fourth street and saw Carter call. Both players checked when Carter paired on fifth street. Carter checked again on sixth street. Fal bet, and Carter called.

It was checked to showdown on seventh street. Carter showed two eights in the hole for eights and sevens, but she mucked her last card when Fal tabled jacks and threes for the winning hand.
