The 2025 World Series of Poker Main Event has already dished out its fair share of brutal coolers and soul-crushing bad beats, but Day 1d may have taken things to a new level.
Among those to fall victim was Jared Bleznick, whose pocket aces were cracked in a massive six-bet pot worth 267,000 chips, a huge pot this early in poker’s World Championship.
And the drama didn’t stop there. Another player’s pocket kings were sent to the muck after their opponent called off 85 big blinds with nine-seven, while the final level of the night saw a full house run head-first into flopped quads.
Three ways to the 2♣6♣4♥ flop that Brad Owen checked first from the big blind. Robert Unterreiner bet 1,200 from early position with Ryan Smith folding from the cutoff, but Owen making the call.
The J♥ came on the turn and Owen check-called a bet of 2,000 from Unterreiner to see the 6♠ fall on the river. Both players checked and Owen won the pot with 6♥5♣ for trip sixes. Unterreiner revealed A♥K♥ for a flush draw and two overcards on the turn that bricked.
