Alpert Sends Walker Out

Dan O'Hair

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Jonathan Walker raised to 1,600 from middle position and was called by Jordan Alpert in the cutoff, Orion Schmitz in the small blind, and Wenyan Liao in the big blind for a four-way pot.

It was checked to Walker, who shoved for a bit over 15,000 on the 4♣10♣Q♥ flop. Alpert called to put him at risk and both Liao and Schmitz got out of the way.

Jonathan Walker: K♥J♣ All in
Jordan Alpert: J♠10♦

Walker would need some help with his open-ended straight draw with an over, but the 5♥7♥ bricked out and Alpert collected the rest of Walker's chips.

Gabrielle Barredo

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Dimitrios Nanos and Paul Otto were heads up in a pot of around 30,000. The flop came 9♦9♠Q♥.

Nanos in the big blind checked. It took Otto a few seconds to check after.

On the turn 2♥, Nanos took a few seconds to consider his options and decided to check again. Otto mulled over the situation and knuckled.

Finally, on the river 10♥, Nanos, looking directly at Otto, checked for a third time. Otto immediately checked after.

Nanos was visibly frustrated and was shaking his head when he threw his cards on the table to show J♥J♠, prompting Otto to muck his hand.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

With the turn reading K♦8♠3♣3♦, Anil Kadimisetty check-called a bet of 11,000 by Ahir Chatterjee in the next seat and then checked the Q♠ in the river, hiding nearly almost all of his face under the hoodie. Chatterjee gave it some thought and then prepared a bet of 22,600 while leaving only one and a half big blinds behind.

That was enough to win the pot without showdown as Kadimisetty sent his cards into the muck.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Benny Glaser, Scott Bohlman, Martin Kabrhel, and Shaun Deeb. Those have been the four names trading spots at the top of the 2025 World Series of Poker Player of the Year leaderboard.

But by the end of Sunday's action, Deeb could have his three closest competitors drawing thin.

Just three days removed from capturing his seventh career bracelet, Deeb is now on the verge of number eight, and with it, the inside track to yet another WSOP Player of the Year crown. He leads the final three in Event #84: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em, a tournament that was supposed to wrap up last night but needed an extra day to determine a winner.

Deeb returns to the Horseshoe Events Center at 2 p.m. local time with more than half the chips in play, holding 21,200,000. Zdenek Zizka (12,500,000) and Jeffrey Thoney (3,800,000) stand between him and the $232,498 first-place prize, and a Player of the Year race that is becoming his to lose.

Maciej Gut: A♣K♦ All in
Jiyun Qu: Q♣Q♦

The flop came 6♥4♣3♣ and was no real danger for Qu, and when the 8♦ peeled off on the turn Gut was drawing to six outs. The 10♠ on the river was not one of them and he was sent to the rail.
