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.

Garcia Suffers a Cruel Bustout to Ching

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Pablo Ching raised to 1,100 under the gun before Marcus Garcia three-bet to 3,500 in the hijack. Ching four-bet to 11,500 and Garcia five-bet to 22,500. Ching then moved all in.

Garcia instantly buried his face in his hands and shook his head as he spent several minutes in the tank before eventually calling for around 45,000 more.

Marcus Garcia: Q♥Q♠ All in
Pablo Ching: A♥A♠

Garcia's suspicions proved correct as Ching showed down a pair of aces. The A♣K♦J♥ flop gave Ching top set, and Garcia was drawing dead by the J♠ turn as Ching improved to a full house. The Q♦ river only served as a cruel tease for Garcia as he made his exit, while Shing raked in the massive pot.

Michael Hooper raised to 1,000 on the button. David Kaufmann called in the big blind, and check-called when Hooper continued for another 1,000 on the 5♦8♥8♦ flop.

The K♠ fell on the turn, seeing Kaufmann check again. Hooper upped the ante to 3,300, and Kaufmann quickly let his hand go in defeat, having lost about 80 big blinds since his stack peaked.

Marc Joseph had 4,500 in front of him, as he had bet out into a pot of 11,000. With the board reading 5♣10♠2♥7♣8♦ and play heads-up, David Frazee then opted to shove his remaining 13,200. It wasn't long before Joseph sigh-called.

Frazee showed J♣9♣ for the stone cold nuts, having been paid by the K♥10♥ Joseph.

Adam Agaev opened to 1,200 from middle position. Pedro Marques on the button called, but Evan Lindemann in the big blind three-bet to 6,000. Both Agaev and Marques made the call.

Lindemann continued for 4,000 on the A♣9♠7♠ flop. Agaev called, while Marques folded.

Both Lindemann and Agaev checked the 3♠ turn and the Q♥ river so Lindemann showed A♦K♣ for top pair. Agaev's cards went into the muck.
