Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

"Harry Lodge, WSOP bracelet winner, raises to 3,000 under the gun," tablemate Chad Holloway narrated.

"Two-time winner," Lodge corrected.

"Two bracelets? I only have one," Holloway added.

Corey Hochman and Enrique Moran came along from the blinds and they saw a flop of 10♦4♠10♠. Action was checked through to the 3♥ turn, where Hochman led out for 5,500. Both opponents called.

Hochman and Moran checked the Q♣ river, and Lodge bet 20,000 that was enough to win the pot.

"Whoever doubles me up this hand, I'll buy a $20 massage. But you have to call light," Holloway told the table as they moved on to the next hand.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Muskan Sethi open-shoved in middle position for her last 19,000 and it folded to Deborah Nance in the big blind who called:

Muskan Sethi: A♠Q♦ All in
Deborah Nance: A♣K♥

Sethi's hand was dominated and the board 7♥8♥6♥8♦K♣ didn't bring her any help to be eliminated from the event.

Hall Pays Off Mariwalla

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

A pot of around 55,000 had already brewed between Patrick Hall and Rohit Mariwalla on a full board of 4♠Q♥7♦K♣6♥.

Hall had checked the river from the hijack and was facing a bet of 32,000 from Mariwalla, who was on the button. Several minutes passed with Hall in the tank and eventually he dropped in the call.

Mariwalla then flipped K♦Q♦ for top two pair, and Hall tossed his cards away.

Are You Ready?

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Jiwoo Hyul opened up the action with a raise to 3,000. Simas Karaliunas then shoved his remaining 23,000, putting Hyul in a tough spot. "Are you ready?" he asked, upon seeing that there was a reporter at the table. He stood up, and chucked 20,000 into the middle.

Simas Karaliunas: K♥J♣ All in
Jiwoo Hyul: 8♥8♣

The K♣6♦9♦ flop seemed ideal for Karaliunas, but the 8♦ crushed any hope he had left. The 9♠ river boated Hyul up, and Kevin Williams let the table know that he had folded an eight, meaning Hyul hit a one-outer.

Adedapo Ajayi raised to 4,000 in early position and Scott Stewart called in late position.

The flop rolled out 4♦K♥7♠ and Ajayi bet 3,500 to see Stewart call.

Ajayi checked the turn 2♦ over to Stewart who bet 8,000. Ajayi raised to 22,000 and after a few seconds, Stewart released his hand.

"Show the bluff!" said table mate Vanessa Selbst.

"Is this a bluff?" asked Ajayi as he tabled a K♦ while the pot was being pushed to him.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

South Africa's Damon Fine was involved in a heads-up pot to the K♠8♣3♣J♣9♠ river on which his table neighbour Christophe Schild bet 8,500. Fine called after brief consideration and was shown the Q♠8♦ for a pair of eights only. Fine had that beat with the 10♠10♣ and claimed the pot to further grow his decent stack after the dinner break.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Ethan "Rampage" Yau has been brutally honest about his struggles this year and they continued on poker’s biggest stage.

The popular vlogger, who’s down more than $350,000 in 2025 and averaging an eye-watering $850 an hour in losses, couldn't even survive a single level in the WSOP Main Event, busting on Day 1d.

Last month, Yau admitted he was “ready to quit” three weeks into the 2025 World Series of Poker and the nightmare has showed no signs of slowing down.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Cleveland Richards moved all in for around 50,000 from the cutoff and Kevin Rabichow put him at risk in the big blind.

Cleveland Richards: 7♥7♣ All in
Kevin Rabichow: Q♣Q♠

Richards was crushed by Rabichow's queens, and no help arrived on the 2♥J♦4♥A♥K♣ board as Rabichow scored the knockout.
