All tables will play four more hands before Day 1b of the 2025 WSOP Main Event concludes.
Jody Haddad already had a raise of 3,200 in front of him from middle position and Ronald Citrenbaum made it 11,500 to go on the button. Haddad called.
Haddad checked on the 4♠J♥6♠ flop and Citrenbaum put his entire stack into the middle, which was enough to put Haddad all in for his remaining 28,000.
Haddad went deep into the tank and after a couple of minutes, he committed his stack to the pot while asking, "Do you have aces?"
Jody Haddad: Q♥Q♣
Ronald Citrenbaum: A♦A♣
Citrenbaum did indeed have aces and the 4♣ turn left Haddad with one foot out the door.
However, the Q♦ was dealt on the river — improving Haddad to a set of queens for the dramatic double-up, much to the dismay of Citrenbaum.

Gary Benson opened to 1,600 from middle position. Joseph Molitor three-bet to 4,200 from two seats over, then Daniel Zadok shoved for 23,600 from the hijack. Benson called, Molitor moved all in for approximately 29,000 and Benson snap-called.
Daniel Zadok: K♥K♠
Joseph Molitor: A♣A♥
Gary Benson: A♠A♦
Zadok with kings started to stand up as the flop ran out 3♣7♣3♥, but he was lucky enough to hit the K♣ turn to triple up after the J♠ river.

Michael Capener and Ivan Emanuely went to the turn in a blind-versus-blind confrontation and the board showing 5♣10♠J♣6♥.
Emanuely then led out for 6,500 and Capener called. The river was the A♣ and Emanuely bet another 18,000.
Capener took a minute before calling once more as Emanuely showed 9♥7♠ for just nine-high. Capener turned over A♠J♥ for two pair to win the pot.

Gustavo Barbero raised to 1,200 from late position, and was called by John Hennigan in the cutoff and Ioannis Pentefountas in the big blind. It checked to Hennigan on the 3♣5♠5♦ flop, who elected to bet 1,500.
Pentefountas called, prompting Barbero to get out of the way. The 9♥ turn then checked through to the 3♦ river. Pentefountas bet 4,000 on the double-paired board, and Hennigan immediately tossed in a call.
"Nothing," Pentefountas said as he was reluctant to show his hand. Hennigan tabled A♥10♠, and Pentefountas' cards hit the muck as the pot was shipped to the Hall of Famer.

Sanchez Gervin raised in early position to 1,500, and the two players to his direct left, Evan Clark and Noah Goldman, both called. Action then folded to Travis Hartshorn, who put in a three-bet to 7,000.
Gervin and Clark both folded, but Goldman called a second time.
The dealer put out a monotone 8♦9♦2♦ board, and when Goldman checked, Hartshorn continued with another 7,000 bet. Goldman took the aggressive approach in his response, moving all in for 25,400. Hartshorn made the call, and, although the stacks were very similar, it was he who was at risk.
Just as the players flipped their cards, Goldman claimed that he "Just wanted to go home anyway.”
Travis Hartshorn: K♠K♥
Noah Goldman: 10♠7♠
While Goldman may have wanted to go home, the deck had other designs for his near future, as the turn rolled off the 6♦, improving him to a straight.
The river 7♥ was unable to rescue Hartshorn, with the chance of a split pot unforthcoming, and he gathered his belongings and headed to the exit.

Mike Matusow and Thomas Lee went heads-up to the river on a completed board of 4♥2♥3♦10♥K♠. According to Matusow, Lee had bet "really small" on the flop, then 3,500 on the turn from the hijack as Matusow called in the small blind.
Lee bet another 9,000 on the river and Matusow raised enough to put Lee all in. Lee called for 25,000 more with K♥8♥ for a flush, but Matusow had A♥5♥ for the nut flush to score the knockout.
