On the river 8, Li led out with a 1,200,000 sending Schill to the tank. Finally, he pushed around 5,000,000 to the middle. Li conceded his hand and the pot to Schill.

When the K peeled on the turn, Godard and Kadur checked, but Li opted to bet 1,300,000. Godard called, and Kadur folded.

Godard checked again on the 8 river, which led to a hefty bet of 3,100,000 from Li. Godard quickly called.

Li showed KJ for top pair, but it was no good as Godard rolled over AK for the better kicker.

Worse Than Ever? Hellmuth WSOP Entrance Branded 'Cringe' and 'Awkward'

Level 35 : 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth

Phil Hellmuth said months ago he would boycott the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event. Many poker fans on social media, upon seeing video of his grand entrance on Thursday, are probably wishing he'd stuck to his original plan.

The "Poker Brat" traditionally arrives fashionably late for the $10,000 buy-in World Championship event he won in 1989. He showed up about five hours after play began on Day 1b, dressed like a 1980s hair band rockstar, full glam metal hairstyle and all.

Xizhe Yuan Eliminated in 13th Place ($18,669)

Level 35 : 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Xizhe Yuan
Xizhe Yuan

Pablo Valdes opened the action with a raise to 1,000,000 from the cutoff. Xizhe Yuan wanted to play for more chips in the next seat over and went all-in for 4,200,000 from the button. Valdes gave it some thought before a call and sent them to a showdown with Yuan at risk.

Xizhe Yuan: A2All in
Pablo Valdes: A7

Yuan was rooting for a chop, but that became less likely as the flop came 7JJ to give Valdes two pair.

The J upgraded Valdes to a full house, and the 2 hit Yuan, but it was too little, too late.

Yuan earned $18,669 for his 13th-place finish.

Harvey Builds His Stack

Level 34 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Harold Harvey opened under the gun to 1,000,000 and got called by Ivan Ruban in middle position.

The flop came 8A9. Harvey continued with a 1,200,000 bet which Ruban called once again. On the turn, he shoved all-in for 5,550,000 which was enough to make Ruban fold.

After two hands, Harvey in the small blind limped and Nicolas Godard checked his option in the big blind. The flop came 947.

Harvey led out with 550,000 and Godard decided to hang on with a call. The turn fell J.

Harvey shot out 400,000 but Godard decided to go beyond and made it 1,400,000. Harvey went into deep thought and separated the chips he needed to make the call. After a few seconds he folded his hand and conceded the pot to Godard.
