Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Lei Yu raised to 2,500 in first position and Vanessa Selbst called in early position.

The flop rolled out 9♥J♥9♦ and Yu bet 3,000 to see Selbst call.

On the turn 4♣, Yu bet 6,000 and Selbst elected to call a second time.

Both players checked the river 2♦ and Yu turned over 7♠7♦ for nines and sevens. It was no good against Selbst who turned over 8♥8♣ for nines and eights, leaving the WSOP bracelet winner to take down the pot.

The Snappiest of Calls

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Stewart Morrison

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Seeing two limps in front of him, Jon-Michael Gisler raised to 5,500 from the hijack. Both the limpers called, including Brandon Takao, but the rest of the table folded.

Gisler continued with a bet of 8,000 on the 2♣2♦8♦ flop, and only Takao called.

The turn 7♥ saw another check-call from Takao, this time for a more substantial 20,000.

When the dealer burned and turned the 9♣ river, Takao announced "All-in". No sooner had the words left his mouth than Gisler had announced "Call", whilst immediately turning over 9♠9♦ for a rivered full house.

Takao turned over his A♦5♦, as was necessary, before cutting out the chips from his stack to double up his neighbour.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Camel Meriem opened from under the gun to 1,200 and Robert Lauer called from early position. Zachary Camp defended the big blind and the players went three-ways to the flop.

Action was checked from the 10♣6♦2♠ flop to the K♦ turn.

The turn saw Camp and Meriem check, and Lauer raise to 5,000. Camp called and Meriem folded.

The 8♦ fell on the river and Camp bet out 12,500. Lauer folded and passed the pot to Camp.

Gabrielle Barredo

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Julien Loire started the action with a 2,200 bet in middle position and only got one caller in Thai Ha in hijack.

They saw a flop of 3♥Q♣Q♠ which both players checked. The 3♠ fell and Loire check-called Ha's bet of 2,500.

Both players tapped the table on the river 10♦. Loire showed A♦A♠ which prompted Ha to fold his hand.

Adam Lamers

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Natalie Hof Ramos raised it up from under the gun and Garrett Greer three-bet on her left. John Khouri was in the big blind and four-bet shoved all in for just over 30,000. Hof Ramos reshoved all in and Greer said he made a tight laydown by folding ace-king.

John Khouri: 7♥7♦ All in
Natalie Hof Ramos: A♠A♦

The flop came QxJx5x and Hof Ramos was still out front with her pair of aces. The 10x and 9x runout was no help to Khouri who saw his chips evaporate and land in the lap of Hof Ramos who was thankful for Greer letting his hand go.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 4♦9♦7♠, Namhyung Kim bet 8,000 from the big blind and Ondrej Drozd called in the hijack.

Kim moved all in on the J♦ turn and Drozd quickly called for his last 23,500. He showed J♣10♣ for top pair, while Kim had K♥5♦.

The river came the 6♦ to improve Kim to a running flush. "Oh, wow. So dirty," a tablemate said as Drozd was sent to the rail.

Reid Eliminated by Grimes

Christian Zetzsche

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Following an open raise to 2,400, Jim Reid moved all-in for the last 11,000 with his three last chips in the Rec Poker shot glass like he had done in the 2024 WSOP Main Event as well. Sean Grimes then reraised to 20,000 in the big blind and the initial raiser folded.

Jim Reid: A♦6♣ All in
Sean Grimes: A♠A♥

"I got him right where I want him," the always jovial Canadian joked. One six came on the 9♥6♦5♠ flop but the 3♦ turn and 4♣ river were blanks. He shook hands with everyone at the table and wished them good luck before parting ways. Grimes won the chips and the shot glass.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Johnny Lodden was in early position and put in a reraise of 15,000 before the flop. Scott Yeager then made it 40,000 in the big blind.

Lodden agonized over the decision for several minutes, apologizing to his tablemates. He eventually folded K♣K♦ face up, and Yeager proved his instincts correct by showing him A♥A♠.

"I had a bad feeling," Lodden said.
