Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Cassandra Yong
Cassandra Yong

From the small blind, Benjamin Teston led out for 5,000 on a board of J86Q, and Cassandra Yong called from the big blind.

Upon seeing the J drop on the river, Teston threw 20,000 into the middle. Yong paused briefly and then made the call.

Teston showed an underpair with 4x4x, and lost the pot to Yong's KK.

Leonard Leads Twice and Gets Raised Twice

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Patrick Leonard from middle position and John Duci from the button were heads-up to the AQ8 flop as Leonard led out with a bet. Duci then raised to 2,500 and Leonard put in the call.

On the flush-completing 7 turn, Leonard opted to lead again for 1,500 before Duci raised again to 5,500, and Leonard called.

The K river checked through as Duci turned over J10 for the turned flush that was downgraded on the river, but his hand was still good as Leonard mucked and Duci collected the pot.

Boat Loses to Quads for First Elimination

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Hisashi Yamanouchi
Hisashi Yamanouchi

Kacper Pyzara opened in middle position to 500, which the player on the button called. Hisashi Yamanouchi responded with a three-bet from the small blind to 2,200. Pyzara called, and the player on the button folded.

The dealer spread a flop of QJQ, which both players checked.

It was the turn K that saw sparks fly. Yamanouchi checked for a second time, and Pyzara decided it was time to build a pot. He placed a bet of 11,000, only to be met with a check-raise to 22,000. Pyzara continued with a call, and the two moved onto a river in this already ballooned pot.

The dealer burned and turned the A, which did nothing to slow down the action. Yamanouchi moved all in for roughly 31,500, and Pyzara made the call.

The table then bore witness to an ice-cold cooler of a showdown so early on in the Main Event. Pyzara tabled KK, revealing he had turned top full house. It paled in comparison to Yamanouchi's holding, though, as he turned over the two remaining queens, QQ, for flopped quads.

Pyzara was the covered player and, as such, his 2025 Main Event had come to an early end in devastating fashion.

Jaros Shoves on Zipprich; Nguyen Bluffs It Off to Beasy

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Patrik Jaros
Patrik Jaros

Kelly Whitlock bet 1,500 from the cutoff on a flop of AK3 and Stephen Zipprich called under the gun. Patrik Jaros then raised to 6,000 in the hijack and Whitlock folded, but Zipprich called.

The turn was the 10 and Jaros bet 11,000. Zipprich again called to see the Q river, where he led out for 12,000. Jaros then moved all in.

Zipprich had around 35,000 remaining and tanked for several minutes before letting his hand go.

At the same time at an adjacent table, Christopher Nguyen and Joseph Beasy were heads-up on a board of 7Q324. Nguyen moved all in for 32,000 from the hijack, and Beasy took a minute before calling in the small blind.

Nguyen could only show 95 for a bluff, while Beasy had KK to send the Austrian high roller to the rail early on Day 1d.

Buckner Makes His Presence Known

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Steven Buckner
Steven Buckner

Steven Buckner was involved in some table talk with a player at another table after one of his tablemates had apparently slow rolled him.

"Level one and they're slow rolling me. I don't care if it's a $200 or a $10,000, you don't slow roll me."

On the next hand, Shaun York opened the button to 1,300 with Vladimir Nex calling in the small blind and Buckner defending his big blind.

Three checks followed the 910Q flop to see the 3 appear on the turn. Nex checked before Buckner bet 2,200. That was enough to get two quick folds, allowing Buckner to drag in the pot.

While Buckner was stacking the pot, York said to the dealer, "Keep the good hands coming, ace-king that one."

Although the comment wasn’t directed at Buckner, he was quick to reply: "Ace-king? Ace-king is just c**k and b**ls." Then he bellowed out so the nearby tables could hear, "I got a good table here!"

Rand Forces a Fold on the River

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

With roughly 8,900 in the middle and the board showing A5104, Tanner Lefferts led out from the small blind with a bet of 6,000. Kevin Rand, seated in the cutoff, made the call without much hesitation.

The 3 completed the board on the river, and this time Lefferts tapped the table to check. Rand responded with a confident bet of 15,000, and after a brief pause, Lefferts decided to fold and send his cards into the muck.

Hirst Probably Had the Best Flush

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Three-way on a flop of 2A4, Nitis Udornpim under the gun bet 600. David Hirst called from the cutoff, but the big blind folded.

Udornpim fired a second barrel of 1,100 on the K turn, but it didn't take long for Hirst to raise to 3,000. Udornpim quickly folded.

Cruz Three-Bets Flop

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Benedict Cullen made it 500 under the gun. Alexis Cruz Martinez three-bet to 2,000 on the button, which Jordan Love cold-called on the button. Cullen got out of the way for the AK7 flop to be dealt.

Love checked over to Cruz, who bet 1,100. Love raised to 3,500, and Cruz clicked it back to 8,500.

Love made a quick fold, seeing the pot shipped to Cruz.

Lee Makes a Frustrating Fold to Paul

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Min-Sung Lee bet 1,200 from the hijack on a flop of Q75 and Thomas Paul called under the gun.

The turn was the 8 and Paul led out for 3,700. Lee called and the 6 fell on the river.

Paul looked over at Lee and laughed before leaning back in his seat and taking a few minutes to act. He then announced a bet of 17,000 and Lee slammed his chips on the table before folding. Paul flashed the 9 as he took the pot.
