Le drew one and Negreanu drew two, prompting Le to check and Negreanu to bet 90,000.

After spending some time thinking, Le called.

"Ten-seven," Negreanu said as he tabled 10x7x6x5x2x and Le mucked his hand.

Pot-Limit Omaha

Bariscan Betil from the hijack and Yosuke Miki from the button were heads-up to the 6♠4♥2♣ flop in a single-raised pot. Betiil check-called a bet of 25,000 from Miki.

On the 10♥ turn, Betil checked again to Miki who sized up to 100,000, and Betil called.

Betil checked for a third time on the 3♣ river as Miki took some time to weigh his options before he checked back. Betil shook his head as he sheepishly tabled 10♦9♠8♥7♥ for just a pair of tens with a nine kicker. However, Miki took a second look at his cards and mucked as Betil scooped with just the ten.

Strebkov checked after the first draw and Griff moved all in. Strebkov called and drew one as Griff again stood pat. Strebkov then stood pat and Griff decided to break his hand and drew one.

"Number one," Strebkov announced as he turned over 7x5x4x3x2x to crush the 9x8x8x6x3x of the 2024 Main Event runner-up.

Big O

Marco Johnson opened to 25,000 first to act before Philip Sternheimer potted to 90,000 from the cutoff. On the button, Jon Turner jammed for 311,000. After a long tank and some calculations, Johnson put in the call as the covering stack and Sternheimer called off for 130,000 total.

Philip Sternheimer: A♥K♥4♦3♠2♥ All in
Jon Turner: A♦K♦10♠8♥2♦ All in
Marco Johnson: A♠Q♠Q♣J♥2♣

The 10♦8♠5♠ flop gave Turner top two pair while all players had the same low draw. The 9♣ turn gave Johnson the nut straight as the 5♦ completed the board to change nothing as Johnson scooped a huge one and took out two opponents.

Jesse Yaginuma and James Carroll, alleged to have participated in a chip-dumping scheme, will receive their seven-figure payouts from the World Series of Poker (WSOP). But the winner won't take home the gold bracelet, per a tweet.

The poker pros with over $9 million in combined live tournament cashes were accused of colluding during heads-up play in the $1,500 buy-in Millionaire Maker event to allow Yaginuma, who stood to win an extra $1 million bonus, to win the bracelet. Poker players immediately cried foul on social media, pointing to numerous questionable hands that led many to believe chip dumping occurred.

Turner Gets Half; Babins Quarters Billarakis

Big O

Five players called to see a flop.

The board rolled out J♥A♥8♦ and action checked around to Jon Turner in the cutoff who bet 48,000 and only Jacob Babins on the button and Steve Billirakis called in the small blind.

On the turn 10♣, Billirakis bet 117,000 and Turner called to put himself at risk while Babins called behind him.

Billirakis moved all in on the 6♠ river for 368,000 and Babins called.

Jon Turner: A♦Q♦J♣10♥8♥ All in
Steve Billirakis: A♣K♣9♦3♦2♠ All in
Jacob Babins: A♠K♦6♦3♠2♥

Both Babins and Billirakis shared the same low, but Babins had made aces up to quarter Billirakis in the side pot. Turner's two pair was best for half of the main pot and the other two got a quarter each from it.

At another table, Shaun Deeb was eliminated from the tournament.
