Randall Emmett and Ryan Garcia were already sitting just a couple of tables away in the Horseshoe Bronze section, but neither player wanted to be noticed as they sat in disguise through the opening level on Day 2d. However, they certainly made themselves known when they returned from the first break, dressed in what else but boxing outfits, ready to square off.

With "Eye of the Tiger" playing in the background, both players jaunted to their seats and then squared off up against the ropes of the tournament area. A little showman-like gesture from the famous actor and the professional boxer and they were ready to rumble ad Day 2d continues.

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.

The opening level of Day 2d has been completed and the remaining 4,030 players are going on their first 25-minute break of the day. Over 500 players have taken advantage of the late registration available for the first two levels today, with plenty more expected to join over the next two hours. Here is a look at the highlights from the first level:

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.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Mark Radoja raised to 1,600 in late position. Dustin Wills three-bet to 4,500 in the hijack, and Yuri Shaulov four-bet all in to 14,500 after some minutes in the tank.

Radoja quickly folded his hand, but Wills called after getting a count.

Yuri Shaulov: K♥J♥ All in
Dustin Wills: K♦Q♠

Wills flopped pair on Q♣9♥5♣, and Shaulov bricked his gutshot on the 4♦ turn and 7♦ river, knocking him out of the Main Event.
