Alexander Yen shoved on the button and Vadzim Lipauka quickly announced the call in the small blind while Martin Kabrhel got out of the way.
Alexander Yen: 8♣8♠ 
Vadzim Lipauka: A♣J♦
It was a typical flip situation, and Yen managed to improve his hand into quads thanks to a board of 9♦10♦4♠8♥8♦ to take the double up while Lipauka was left with less than one small blind.
Love him or despise his antics, Martin Kabrhel is closing in on first place in the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Player of the Year race.
The Czech poker pro, at the time of publishing, had a large chip lead in Event #75: $1,000 Mini Main Event with just four players remaining. He entered the day second in chips with five players left.

On the 6♠ turn, Lipauka checked again and Kabrhel fired out a bet of 25,000,000.
Lipauka thought for a moment before giving up his hand.

John Ishak shoved on the button for his last 42,000,000 and it was quickly called by Martin Kabrhel in the big blind.
Kabrhel tabled Q♠5♠, and Ishak realized his cards had been accidentally thrown into the muck.

On the first hand, Martin Kabrhel shoved on the button and picked up the blinds. The following hand, Kabrhel raised to 16,000,000 in the cutoff and picked up the blinds once again.
