Hiroyuki Noda
Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo
Hiroyuki Noda raised pot on the button and Daniel Negreanu reraised pot from the big blind. Noda called it off for around 245,000 total.
Hiroyuki Noda: A♦Q♦8♣3♥
Daniel Negreanu: A♣K♦10♠4♦
The board ran out 7♦7♣2♥7♠Q♣ and Noda's eyes lit up when the queen hit the river. He slid his ace-queen forward, but Negreanu calmly pointed out Noda was playing the three sevens on the board together with the ace-queen as kicker, which he had beat with his ace-king.
"It kind of looked like you won," Negreanu reassured Noda. "Good game, bro," he added as Noda made his exit.

Daniel Negreanu raised to 60,000 in the cutoff and Marco Johnson called on the button. Hye Park took around a minute before also calling from the small blind. The flop was 6♠5♦4♠ and Park checked. Negreanu bet 80,000, Johnson called, and Park folded.
The turn was the 3♠ and Negreanu quickly checked. Johnson took his time before checking behind.
The river brought the 9♦ and Negreanu wasted no time sliding a pot-sized bet of 388,000 forward. Johnson quickly chucked his hand in the muck.

Bariscan Betil raised to 50,000 in the cutoff and Christopher Vitch defended his big blind.
Vitch checked on the flop of 5♦J♥10♣ and Betil continued for 35,000. Vitch called. Vitch check-called again on the Q♠ turn as Betil sized up to 125,000.
Vitch checked once more on the 4♦ river and Betil bet 325,000. Vitch called, only to muck as Betil showed K♠9♥ for the king-high straight. Vitch then revealed he held Qx9x to bring groans from the table.

In the first hand of the day, Bariscan Betil was still sorting out his chips from the bag as he raised to 55,000 on the button. Aaron Kupin defended the big blind. On the 7♣6♦5♥ flop, Kupin opted to lead out for 45,000 and Betil called.
On the 6♥ turn, Kupin ramped up the pressure with a bet of 180,000 and Betil called again.
The river 4♥ completed the board and Kupin emptied the clip with a bet of 200,000. Betil quickly folded.
Daniel "Kid Poker" Negreanu has been putting in the grind this summer, as usual, and has already racked up eight cashes (nine including this one). Today, he finds himself in prime contention for a bracelet, again, as he returns second in chips with 11 players left in Event #76: $2,500 Mixed Big Bet at the 2025 World Series of Poker in the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
The mixed big event is a special one — as the name implies, this isn't your run-of-the-mill limit mixed game. Every single game will be played in either pot-limit or no-limit format, enabling big plays and encouraging action throughout. Levels will be 60 minutes throughout with a 15-minute break every two levels. The game is played 6-handed, with the following seven games on rotation every six hands:
Game
Big O (a five-card PLO Hi-Lo split game)
No-Limit Hold’em
No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw
Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better
No-Limit 5-Card Draw High
Pot-Limit Omaha
Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw
The final 11 return at 1 p.m. local time to the Horseshoe Event Center:
With seven bracelets, Negreau sits high on top of the list of all-time bracelet winners, among the likes of Nick Schulman, Brian Rast, and Scott Seiver. He came close to his eighth victory earlier this series, when a sun-running Ryan Bambrick denied him a win in back-to-back years heads-up.
Chipleader Aaron Kupin
Returning as the overnight chipleader is Aaron Kupin, who's the only player to bring back more than 3 million in chips on the final day. Multiple bracelet winners such as Marco Johnson, Jeff Madsen, Chris Vitch, and Steve Billirakis are also still in contention for the coveted prize.
