2025 World Series of Poker
Daniel Escherich raised in middle position, and only John Hennigan made the call, defending his big blind.
Hennigan check-called a bet of 800 on the A♣10♥6♥ flop, after which, the action ground to a halt as both players checked the 4♦ turn and the Q♥ river.
Hennigan turned over his A♦K♥, good for top pair, and Escherich mucked his hand.
Nicholas Murray opened to 1,000 from middle position and Deborah Worley-Roberts three-bet to 3,500. Murray called.
The 5♣3♣8♠ flop was checked to the 9♥ turn.
Murray bet 2,500 on the turn and Worley-Roberts called.
The 6♥ river saw Murray bet 8,000. Worley-Roberts took some time and checked her hand before mucking.
Murray showed a single card from his hand, the 5♠ and Worley-Roberts said "I was beating that."
Simon Britton, Ruben Correia, and Czesy Rudnicki went to the turn on a board of 4♦2♣5♦6♥ when Correia bet 5,000 from under the gun. Rudnicki called in middle position before Britton raised to 14,000 in the hijack.
Correia came back with an all-in shove for 48,600, and Rudnicki also moved all in for his last 35,000.
"What the f**k? What is that?" a stunned Britton yelled out as he asked for a count of the stacks. A large crowd began to gather around the table, while some players at the table, including Michael Mizrachi, began to film the action. Britton eventually called.
Correia had A♦3♦ for a straight, while Britton also had the straight with 3♠3♥. Rudnicki needed to improve with 7♦7♥ but missed the 9♣ river as he headed to the rail, while Correia and Britton chopped the pot.
"That was stressful," Britton said.
Francois Safieddine was already all in for approximately 41,000 preflop from the big blind against David Moses, who had Safieddine slightly covered from early position.
Francois Safieddine: A♦J♣
David Moses: A♥A♠
It was the worst possible scenario for Safieddine, and the 2♦4♣Q♥5♦J♠ runout kept Moses's aces best to eliminate Safieddine from the Main Event.
On a board of K♠8♦7♣10♦ with roughly 34,000 in the pot, Cedric Schwaederle in the small blind moved all-in for 29,500. Matthew Russell on the button went deep into the tank but eventually made the call.
Cedric Schwaederle: A♥A♠
Matthew Russell: J♠10♣
"No... But I still have outs," Russell said when he saw Schwaederle's aces. The 3♣ river however was no help for Russell and Schwaederle secured a double up.
Steve Sebbag was sitting with 7,100 of his own chips in front of him in the small blind, however he was facing a raise from Bassam Elia in the cutoff, who had made it 16,000 to go. Sebbag, after thinking, made the call.
On a flop of J♦Q♠2♠ Elia continued for another 16,000, earning a fold as well as the table chip lead.
There were roughly 6,000 chips in the pot on 5♠9♣3♠J♥.
Rafael Gonzalez checked from the big blind to Maor Zaharagi in early position, who bet 5,000 on the turn. Gonzalez made the call.
Both players checked on the 6♦ river. Gonzalez tabled 9♦8♦ for a pair but Zaharagi tabled a better pair with 10♦10♥.
