The Ultimate Bad Beat Story?

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Paul Vulpis
Paul Vulpis

Paul Vulpis raised to 500 from the cutoff, and both Tam Ho and Zack Marshak made the call from the small and big blind.

The dealer revealed the 758 flop, and things were about to escalate quickly.

Ho and Marshak both started with a check, and Vulpis continued with a bet of 2,000. Ho called before Marshak opted to put in a check-raise to 7,000. Vulpis made the call before Ho responded with a three-bet back-raise all in for roughly 60,000.

Marshak took some time to consider but ultimately chose to fold. Action was then back on Vulpis, who made the call.

A serious three-way cooler as the players revealed their hands.

Tam Ho: 88 All in
Paul Vulpis: 77

Before any further action took place, Marshak showed the table that he had flopped a straight with six-four, which he had subsequently folded.

The deck hadn't finished dishing out the drama, though, as the dealer flipped over the 7 turn, improving Vulpis to four-of-a-kind.

There was no one-out miracle for Ho, as the river came the 3, requiring him to leave his seat in the Main Event with nothing but a bad beat story to tell.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Alexander Sokolovsky raised to 500 from the cutoff and was called by Ramiro Petrone on the button. David Collins squeezed to 2,000 from the small blind, which got a call from Sokolovsky, but a back-raise to 8,500 from Petrone. Both Collins and Sokolovsky called.

Everyone checked on the A54 flop and it was checked to Petrone, who bet 4,000 on the J turn. Collins called and Sokolovsky folded.

The 5 completed the board and Collins checked a final time, prompting a 19,000 bet from Petrone.

"I'm not gonna go broke with queens, I fold," Collins said as he folded face up.

Petrone collected the pot without showing in turn.

The board read J52 and action checked around to Berman who bet 1,000. Davenport raised to 3,100 and both Akula and Berman called.

Everyone checked the K turn to the 10 river where Davenport bet 6,700 and only Berman called.

Davenport showed J5 for jacks up, prompting a frustrated Berman to flash QQ and Davenport raked in the pot.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Yueqi Zhu
Yueqi Zhu

Thomas Henshaw couldn't get away from his pocket kings just minutes after taking his seat Friday on Day 1c of the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, and it cost him his entire 60,000-chip starting stack.

The field, at the time of publishing, had over 1,300 players registered. Henshaw was the first player out the door, just moments after Jack Effel announced "shuffle up and deal." He ran into a preflop cooler against poker pro Yueqi Zhu and was unable to avoid busting with a hand that didn't improve with the five community cards.
