Joseph Kuether raised to 1,000 from middle position. Nicholas Seward called in the cutoff, as did Wagner Wysotchanski in the small blind and Jeremy Halaska in the big blind.
The dealer spread a K♥5♥9♦ flop. Kuether bet 2,500, both Seward and Wysotchanski called, and Halaska folded.
The turn was the 6♦. Kuether checked, Seward bet 9,000, Wysotchanski called, and Kuether folded.
The river was the 3♣. Wysotchanski led out for 13,000. Seward took a moment before moving all in, prompting Wysotchanski to fold.
Jovan Sudar raised to 1,000 from middle position, and Jun Obara called in the cutoff. Mustapha Kanit then three-bet to 6,500 from the small blind. Sudar folded, and Obara moved all in for roughly 50,000 effective. Kanit called and was at risk.
Mustapha Kanit: A♦K♥
Jun Obara: J♦J♥
The dealer ran out a board of 7♥5♥4♠6♣5♣ sending Kanit to the rail.
With about 36,000 in the pot and the board reading A♣4♦4♣2♦5♠, John Andress checked from under the gun over to Fabian Gumz in the cutoff. Gumz fired out a bet of 18,000, and after a short pause, Andress made the call.
Gumz revealed A♦3♦ for a straight, enough to scoop the sizable pot early in the event.
With around 6,200 already in the middle and the board showing A♥2♠9♥, Martin Kabrhel led out from the big blind with a bet of 2,000. Robertus Hollink, seated on the button, made the call to see the turn.
The 4♣ landed next, and Kabrhel kept the pressure on with a bet of 4,000. Hollink called again without hesitation.
Both players checked the 5♦ river, and the cards went on their backs. Kabrhel revealed A♣7♥ for top pair, while Hollink showed 9♠6♠ for a pair of nines.
Kabrhel grinned as he dragged in the pot and commented, “The biggest pot of the tournament.”
Welcome back to PokerNews, the official media partner of the 2025 World Series of Poker and home of live updates from all bracelet events.
Today will see the start of Event #72: $10,000 Super Turbo Bounty No-Limit Hold'em at noon local time here at Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas with starting stacks of 60,000 chips.
This is a one-day event with the blinds starting at 100/200/200 and 20-minute levels throughout. A 15-minute break will occur after every six levels (or as needed for color-ups). Dinner break is scheduled after Level 21 at around 7:45 p.m.
Players will receive $3,000 from the prize pool for every player they eliminate, and can redeem bounties after 7 p.m. This event is played eight-handed. Registration remains open until the start of Level 13 (≈ 4:30 p.m.) and players are allowed only one reentry.
Although scheduled as a one-day event, last year a second day was necessary for the final table to play out. Frank Funaro came out on top of the field of 486 entrants and is the defending champion. He won his second bracelet and $612,997, not including bounties.
