Delval Takes Three-Way Three-Bet Pot

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Frederic Delval raised to 1,700 under the gun. Cheng-Jyun Yang made it 6,200 in the next seat over, which Rajiv Sakaria cold-called in middle position. It folded back to Deval, who called, and Yang called as well.

The trio checked through the 2♠2♣10♠ flop, after which Delval bet 5,000 on the 6♣ turn. Yang made a quick fold, but Sakaria flicked in a call.

The 8♦ river saw Delval size up to 13,000. After some deliberation, Sakaria called off. Delval showed Q♠Q♥, and Sakaria's cards hit the muck.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action was picked up with Andjelko Andrejevic betting 9,000 into a pot of around 12,000 on a completed board of 4♠8♣A♥5♠7♠. Action was with Charles Wooden who was deep in thought considering his options.

Andrejevic waited patiently until finally Wooden made the call. Andrejevic showed one card 8♦ which prompted Wooden to show J♠J♣. Andrejevic threw his hand into the muck without showing the other card as the dealer pushed the pot to Wooden.

Drama Ensues as Nguyen Shows a Card in Nine Minute Hand

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Vinh Nguyen limped under the gun before William Phillips raised to 2,800 from the cutoff. Nguyen responded with a limp-reraise to 6,000, and Phillips called.

On the 10♣9♣3♣ flop, Nguyen bet 5,500 and Phillips put in the call.

Drama then ensued after the 5♠ turn was dealt. Nguyen instantly jammed his remaining stack of 28,000 into the middle, sending Phillips into the tank.

As Phillips was thinking, Nguyen asked the table, "What's the penalty for showing my hand. What is it? I want to show one card."

The floor was called over to officiate the situation as Nguyen continued, "I need to know what the consequences are."

The floor just shook his head with no response as Nguyen showed the A♥.

Nguyen kept his mouth active as he added, "Are you drawing? Please don't draw. You know I don't have a set, you know I don't have a flush. I'll give you a $100 freeroll that I don't have a club in my hand. I don't want a club I don't have a club."

Phillips finally chimed in, "I'll be quicker to make my decision if you're quiet."

Nguyen obliged, and Phillips would then fold his hand before Nguyen tabled the Q♠ as he had just ace-queen high with no club.

In the post-mortem, Phillips lamented, "I had ace-king with the king of clubs, nice hand."

The floor made his return to inform Nguyen that he will be on a minimum of a one round penalty once play resumes.

Rosen Apostolov hit the dream flop on Day 2d of the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event with top set against middle set. But he'd end up losing his entire stack in the hand.

The $10,000 buy-in World Championship event, at the time of publishing, was closing in on the end of registration. More than 9,500 players bought in, only about 600 short of last year's record 10,112 entries. At worst, the 2025 edition will go down as the third-largest WSOP Main Event ever.
