Ivey Spikes Turn to Triple

Stewart Morrison

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Moonho Seo opened from the cutoff to 10,000, and both Dominykas Karmazinas and Phil Ivey called from the blinds.

When Karmazinas checked the K♣J♥4♣ flop, Ivey bet 35,000, with just 11,000 behind. Seo called before Karmazinas check-raised to 170,000. Ivey flicked in his remaining chips, and after a bit of consistency, Seo folded.

Phil Ivey: Q♥J♠10♥6♠ All in
Dominykas Karmazinas: K♦J♣J♦8♣

Karmazinas was ahead with middle set, but the A♦ turn improved Ivey to a straight, giving him the lead.

There was no board pair on the 6♦ river, and Ivey pulled in the pot, good for a triple up.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Michael Rocco raised it up from the cutoff and Steve Zolotow shoved all in for his last 37,000 in the small blind. Rocco snapped him off and the cards were on their backs.

Steve Zolotow: A♣K♥J♥10♦ All in
Michael Rocco: Q♥J♦9♣8♣

The flop fell J♣9♦4♣ to give Rocco two pair and a flush draw. The 3♣ on the turn locked things up and Zolotow was left drawing dead to the 2♦ on the river.

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

In the 903rd episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway is joined by special fill-in cohosts Team PokerStars Pro Jennifer Shahade and Josh Abady of Play Live Melbourne to discuss the latest in the poker industry, including the latest on the alleged chip-dumping incident from the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Millionaire Maker event. Winner Jesse Yaginuma did get paid the $1,000,000 bonus, but he and runner-up James Carroll are still awaiting a decision by WSOP officials on the regular prize money.

Another big story was Golden Nugget cancelling their $1 million guaranteed tournament, much to the dismay of several players, including Kyna England. The hosts discuss the decision and examine the larger concept of guarantees within the poker world. You'll then get highlights from a pair of Meet-Up Games (MUGs), including the PokerNews one at Planet Hollywood and the PokerStars one at Resorts World, where the first $5,300 Main Event seat to November's NAPT was awarded. See who the lucky winner was!

Next, get a sneak peek at the new show Hellmuth's Home Game presented by Poker Night in America (PNIA), a discussion on the state of poker in Australia, and a look ahead to the 2025 WSOP Main Event, which will kick off this week!

A new PokerNews Podcast will drop twice a week during the 2025 WSOP every Thursday and Sunday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time. Remember to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you do not miss an episode!

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Federico Quevedo raised in middle position to 14,000, with little more than that in his stack. Action folded to Gabriel Andrade in the small blind, who raised enough to put Quevedo all in. The big blind promptly folded, and when Quevedo called, the players revealed their cards

Federico Quevedo: A♣Q♦J♣8♣ All in
Gabriel Andrade: K♦K♥J♥10♠

There was no help for Quevedo on the 2♠2♥7♣ flop, and when the 10♣ turn and 6♦ river completed the runout, Andrade had the pot pushed in his direction as Quevedo headed to the exit.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Ray Attiyah opened to 11,000 in middle position and Ken Fishman three-bet to 35,000 on his left. The action folded back to Attiyah who meant to just call, but had an extra T25,000 chip in his stack which forced him to raise the minimum to 59,000.

Fishman responded by raising the pot to 183,000 and Attiyah made the call. The flop came 8♦5♠5♦ with around 370,000 in the middle and Attiyah jammed all in for his last 192,000. Fishman went into the tank for a couple of minutes and looked visibly frustrated as he sent his cards into the muck and took a walk away from the table.

Player	Chips	Progress
Ken Fishman	618,000 264,000	264,000
Ray Attiyah	562,000 358,500	358,500

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

From the small blind, on a flop of 4♠J♠7♦, Connor Drinan jammed for 58,000 with two players to get through. R Robins was the first and folded from early position, but Kyle Bowker made the call from the button.

Connor Drinan: A♠K♠9♣8♣ All in
Kyle Bowker: A♥J♣8♥5♣

Bowker had a pair of jacks against the draws of Drinan. The 2♣ on the turn added a flush draw for Bowker. The 5♦ hit the river, leaving Drinan with just ace-high, and he was eliminated.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Seth Davies peeled against a reraise to 44,000 by Qiaonan Liu in the small blind and came along on the button. Liu jammed the last bit of his stack on the A♦7♣4♦ flop and Davies called, exclaiming, "set of fours," right away.

Qiaonan Liu: A♠Q♠J♦10♥ All in
Seth Davies: 4♥4♠3♦3♠
