Ben Mintz, aka "Mintzy," on Tuesday, took one of the dirtiest bad beats we've seen all summer at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP).
The Barstool Sports personality, thanks to a one-outer on the river, is out of Event #75: $1,000 Mini Main Event on Day 2. He earned a small cash but was devastated by the manner in which he exited the tournament.
Shannon Lazorko was seen walking away from the table after being knocked out from the small blind by Christian Tomren to her direct left in the big blind. Luke Wasikowski was also caught up in the action from middle position and doubled up Tomren but his cards were already face down.
The cards were already on their backs and players were looking at a monotone 4♥6♥K♥7♥2♥ runout.
Shannon Lazorko: 4♦4♣
Christian Tomren: A♥J♠
Luke Wasikowski: XxXx
Tomren had the nut flush and stole the pot from both players, putting him in the top ten of the counts.

Ronnie Lamb started the action in middle position with a 2,500 bet and got one customer in Ilan Cohen in cutoff. The two players saw a flop of J♠4♠5♥.
Lamb check-called Cohen's bet of 2,100. Betting slowed when the 7♥ turn fell and both players knuckled.
Action resumed when the river K♦ with Lamb betting 4,400, which was enough to make Cohen fold.

Both players checked the J♦ river, urging both players to show their hands. Michael turned over A♣5♥ then Tait flipped over A♠9♠ for a turned two pair.

Action was picked up on the river, with a board that read 7♠9♣K♣10♦4♣. Tuan Nguyen had shoved his remaining 39,400 into a pot that consisted of 51,200. Dimitrios Nanos, the only other player with cards, was put deep into the tank.
Nguyen remained unmoving. His eyes, hidden by sunglasses, focused on the board and nothing else, as Nanos looked him up and down, removed then replaced his hood, and put his head in his hands. He repeated this process for an entire seven minutes (the length of the aptly named Time by Pink Floyd, for reference) before Orez Mokedi waved to the dealer, and signalled to his wrist. The dealer brought over the floor, and he let each passing second tick by, folding with just one left.
Some players at the table were visibly disappointed with the outcome.
