2025 World Series of Poker
In a pot that had around 75,000 in it on a board of K♦10♦5♥J♣K♠, Andrew Wilson bet 17,000 on the river from the cutoff. Terrance Reid then put in a raise to 65,000 before Wilson shoved.
Reid had just over 200,000 remaining in his stack and needed to put them all at risk if he wanted to go to a showdown. Instead, Reid decided to let it go, which meant Wilson took the pot.
It wouldn't be Day 3 of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event if Nicholas Rigby didn't have a big stack.
The Pittsburgh poker player had over 140 big blinds at the first break on Tuesday afternoon. He's no stranger to spinning up a stack in the $10,000 buy-in World Championship event, and he's doing it the same way he's done it in the past — playing any two cards aggressively.
The action was joined with 29,000 already in the pot and three players competing for it.
The flop K♠8♣2♠ had already been dealt, and action was on Tyler Shields in the small blind. He chose to check, and the big blind player then placed a bet of 22,500. Quan Tran called from middle position, and the action was back on Shields.
After a moment of consideration, Shields elected to move all in for 81,500. The big blind player folded, and action returned to an immediately pained-looking Tran, who chose to flick in the call.
Tyler Shields: K♥8♥
Quan Tran: 9♠8♠
It was two pair for Shields versus a pair and a flush draw for Tran.
The board ran out clean for Shields, the turn coming the 4♦ and the river the 9♦, and the dealer pushed the pot in his direction.
Jonathan Tamayo raised to 6,000 from early position and in the hijack Alen Tenorio three-bet to 17,500. Action folded back around to Tamayo who moved all in for 107,500 and Tenorio called.
Jonathan Tamayo: 8♥8♠
Alen Tenorio: A♣K♣
The board ran out A♦J♣9♣9♠Q♥ and the aces and nines were good for Tenorio to take down the pot. The 2024 WSOP Main Event champion took his leave from the tournament, opening the opportunity for another world champion to rise.
Loni Hui opened to 6,000 from middle position with 3♠3♦ and Hisashi Yamanouchi three-bet to 21,000 from the big blind with A♠A♦. Hui called.
The flop came 6♠J♦2♥ and Hui called an 18,000 continuation bet from Yamanouchi.
Yamanouchi fired a second barrel for 36,000 on the K♣ turn and this time Hui opted to fold.
Daniel Negreanu opened to 6,000 from middle position with A♣Q♦ and Roger Stamey three-bet shoved for 48,500 from the big blind with J♦10♦, slightly covering Negreanu. After about a minute Negreanu mucked his hand and the pot was pushed to Stamey.
Leo Margets had raised from early position and Raffaele Sorrentino had called on the button to see a flop of K♦3♥4♣. Sorrentino checked, Margets bet 3,500, and Sorrentino called.
When the 5♥ hit the turn, Margets tapped the table and then folded when Sorrentino bet 12,000.
