Demirel Fills Up on Stia

Adam Lamers

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Picking up the action on the turn with the board reading K♣9♠6♠8♥, Alain Stia found himself all in and at risk against the big stack of Tolga Demirel. Once the action was complete at the other tables, the cards were put on their backs.

Alain Stia: A♠10♠7♠7♦ All in
Tolga Demirel: K♥K♦9♥4♠

Stia was in a great position to double up with the nut straight with the nut flush draw. However, Demirel had a set of kings and the 6♥ paired the board on the river to improve him to a full house.

Anson Tsang raised it up on the button and then called when Joshua Scott got it in for the last 53,000 from the big blind.

Joshua Scott: K♠K♥9♥6♦ All in
Anson Tsang: A♦A♥9♣4♠

The A♣10♦5♦ flop left Scott on the ropes, and he could not escape after the 3♦ turn nor J♥ river as the field went one step closer to bursting the bubble.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Mike Gorodinsky started the action with a limp in the cutoff, prompting the button and Venkat Chivukula, in the small blind, to do the same. The big blind player checked, and the four went to a flop.

Action checked around to the button on the 7♣K♥K♣ flop, who bet 20,000. Chivukula called, the big blind folded, but Gorodinsky executed a check-raise to 65,000. The player on the button folded, but Chivukula called once again.

Chivukula checked for a second time on the A♦ flop, but Gorodinsky wasn't done betting, pushing out a bet of 55,000, which Chivukula called.

The river 3♦ slowed the action down, with both players checking, aware of the bubble waiting to burst. Chivukula turned over Q♦7♥7♦6♣ for a flopped full house, but was given the bad news when Gorodinsky showed he had flopped a bigger full house with K♠10♥9♦7♠.

Will Shillibier

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

“I probably played better than the last three I won. Everything went my way this tournament. I was always at the top of the leaderboard, never really got short, and probably played my best overall.”

That's what Michael Mizrachi had to say after he cruised to victory in Event #66: $50,000 Poker Players Championship.

Already sharing the record for most $50,000 Poker Players Championship victories with Brian Rast, Mizrachi now stands alone after capturing his historic fourth title on Saturday at the 2025 World Series of Poker. "The Grinder" conquered the 107-entry field, earning $1,331,322 from the $5,162,750 prize pool and further cementing his legacy as the event's most dominant force.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Justus Marsico raised the pot to 35,000 in the cutoff with 27,000 behind and Loren Egide jammed in the next seat.

"It's gonna be this table, eh, and now the big stack bully wants to bust us both," Egide jammed while Stefan Lehner in the big blind tanked but was ultimately folding.

As the crowd was waiting for the other tables to finish, they had already joked that it was likely a split pot as both had pocket aces.

Justus Marsico: A♦A♣K♣3♠ All in
Loren Egide: A♠A♥9♠3♣

The 8♥2♠2♥10♥4♣ board indeed delivered the split pot, and the action continued two off the money.

Rafael Rodriguez was all in for his last 10,000 in the big blind and Ryan Hoenig limped in from early position. Christopher Frank raised to 45,000 in the cutoff and Hoenig called to create a side pot.

The flop came Q♣8♣4♦ and Hoenig check-called a bet of 40,000 from Frank. The 7♦ landed on the turn and Hoenig checked again. Frank splashed in a bet of 115,000 and Hoenig check-raised all in for 515,000. Frank made the call and a massive crowd gathered to sweat the two all-ins.

Rafael Rodriguez: K♦7♣4♥3♠ All in
Ryan Hoenig: Q♠Q♥J♥8♥ All in
Christopher Frank: Q♦J♣10♦9♣

Hoenig had a set of queens which left Rodriguez already drawing dead. However, Frank had two flush draws and a wrap for a straight. The river was the 7♥ which gave Hoenig the best full house and he doubled through Frank.

Player	Chips	Progress
Ryan Hoenig	1,220,000 760,000	760,000
