Karmazinas Turns Broadway to Bust Nogueira

Tim Baker

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Moonho Seo limped from the hijack before Dominykas Karmazinas raised to 13,500 from the cutoff. Rui Nogueira called from the button, and Seo called as well.

The flop of J♣8♣Q♦ got checked to Nogueira, and he bet roughly 40,000. Seo folded, but Karmazinas check-jammed to put Nogueira all in. Nogueira called for his last 50,000.

Rui Nogueira: A♥10♣9♥8♦ All in
Dominykas Karmazinas: A♣K♣J♥5♦

Nogueira had the nut straight right now, but Karmazinas had a lot of outs to win the hand. The 10♥ turn gave Karmazinas the lead with Broadway, and the 6♥ river cemented Nogueira's exit from the tournament

Oziel Velador was all-in with the Q♣Q♥J♠10♣ and up against the A♦K♥K♦7♥ of Nacho Barbero. The K♣4♣3♣ flop had given Barbero top set but he was trailing against Velador's flush. Neither the 6♦ turn nor the J♦ river changed anything and Barbero dropped below the starting stack.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Stephen Chidwick raised it up from middle position and Lenny Dicicco reraised to 31,000 on the button. Chidwick called and they went heads-up to a flop of J♥5♦4♥. Chidwick checked to Dicicco who made a pot-sized bet of 65,000 which Chidwick called.

The turn was the K♥ and both players checked to the 10♣ on the river. Chidwick led out with a bet of 40,000 and Dicicco instantly pushed all in for 145,500. Chidwick asked for a count and then called. Dicicco turned over K♠K♦6♠6♥ for a set of kings but Chidwick held J♣9♥7♥4♣ for a flush to eliminate Dicicco.

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

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 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.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Charles Sylvestre raised to 7,000 and Matt Vengrin three-bet the pot to 24,000 in the small blind. It folded back to Sylvestre and he checked how many chips Vengrin had left behind - 14,000 more - and folded.

Shortly after, Sylvestre made it 7,000 to go and was called by Rami Boukai in the big blind. Boukai checked the A♠7♠6♣ flop and Sylvestre bet the pot for 18,500, which Boukai reluctantly called.

"Do you have any big chips left?" Boukai asked on the 10♥ turn and Sylvestre shook his head, replied "I have around sixty". Boukai bet the pot and Sylvestre sigh-folded once more.

New in the field on nearby tables are Aaron Katz and Jared Bleznick.

Thomas Taylor	400,000 20,000	20,000
