Salazar Sanchez Wakes Up with Aces

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Mauricio Salazar Sanchez
Mauricio Salazar Sanchez

Narongsak Dhanjaichon was down to just 90,000 chips and pushed all in from middle position. Javier Etayo flat-called in the hijack and Mauricio Salazar Sanchez reshoved all in from the big blind for around 360,000. Etayo gave it some thought but decided to send his cards into the muck.

Narongsak Dhanjaichon: JJAll in
Mauricio Salazar Sanchez: AA

The flop came 1093 and Salazar Sanchez was still holding strong with his pocket aces. The J rolled off on the turn to give Dhanjaichon a set of jacks but it was the A on the river that gave Salazar Sanchez a better set for the elimination.

Le Stuns Pollak on the River; Demaci Puts in a Big Shove on Butters

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Hieu Le
Hieu Le

Hieu Le was in middle position with a raise of 60,000 in front of him before Craig Pollak moved all in for 337,000 on the button. Le called to put him at risk.

Craig Pollak: 77 All in
Hieu Le: AK

Pollak remained in the lead with his sevens on the 2910 flop, while the Q turn gave Le a straight draw to go with his overcards. Le spiked the J on the river to make his straight and send Pollak to the rail.

At the same time at another table, Christopher Demaci and Samuel Butters saw the turn on a board of 3J89 with around 300,000 in the pot. Demaci then moved all in.

"You're a PLO player, right?" Butters asked as he went into the tank while considering the decision for his last 500,000.

While Butters was pondering making the call, Alex Bergfors told his tablemates how he wants to be remembered. "If that asteroid hits tomorrow, I want to be right here bluffing off my stack. And if the bluff gets through, I'll say let's go. A million years from now they'll discover a fossil and say, 'there is the guy who got the last bluff in at the 2025 World Series of Poker," Bergfors said.

Meanwhile, Butters eventually folded and Demaci took down the pot without a showdown.

Confusion, Rulings and Exposed Cards

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Vinicius Camargo
Vinicius Camargo

It was immediate action on Table 531 in the Main Event.

When the under-the-gun player folded, the dealer pulled in his cards, but also accidentally pulled in the cards of the small blind player, as he was stacking chips from the previous hand and hadn't yet 'protected his cards'.

The next player to act, Jon Kyte, put in a raise to 22,000, but as he did this, the players at the table believed the hand to be a misdeal. The confusion at the table led to Vinicius Camargo sharing his cards with the players sitting next to him, exposing pocket jacks, as he believed he was about to return them to the dealer.

Queue the floor being called. A tournament official arrived, took stock of the action and made a ruling:

1. Because there had been action, the hand wasn't a misdeal.
2. Camargo's hand wasn't dead, but as he had shown two players, he must expose his cards to the whole table.

He turned over JJ.

The hand was now ready to resume, and action was on Camargo, still facing the raise of 22,000.

Camargo responded with a three-bet to 55,000, before one seat to his left, Max Pinnola, four-bet all in for 146,000.

The action returned to Kyte, who folded, and back to Camargo.

Camargo went deep into the tank, knowing that his opponent knew his hand, and still elected to move all in.

After some time, he chose to call anyway.

Max Pinnola: AQ All in
Vinicius Camargo: JJ

The dealer provided a 224K8 board, which was no help to Pinnola; and as he gathered his belongings and left, the rest of the table discussed the very unique hand they had just been a part of.

Buhahiov Stuns Obst on the River

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
James Obst
James Obst

Joshua Boulton raised to 20,000 in middle position and Nazar Buhaiov three-bet to 55,000 in the hijack. James Obst then moved all in for 150,000 on the button and Boulton folded, while Buhaiov took a few minutes and eventually called to put Obst at risk.

James Obst: AJ All in
Nazar Buhaiov: A10

Obst had Buhaiov dominated as the KJ3 flop gave him a pair, while Buhaiov picked up a straight draw. The 3 turn was safe for Obst, but Buhaiov caught the Q on the river to make his straight and send Obst to the rail.

Big Stack Shift

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Raoul Kanme
Raoul Kanme

Action was picked up with the board completely laid out with 223810 and around 500,000 in the middle.

Alvaro Puchol in early position checked to Raoul Kanme in the cutoff, who went all in for 405,000. Puchol needed some time to think about this decision; even though he wasn't at risk, he had a lot to lose. In the end, he made the call, and the cards went on their way back.

Kanme showed AA for two pairs, aces and deuces. As it was an all-in situation, Puchol was forced to show his cards, and he tabled AK for ace high.

Poroliev Has Snyder Talking to Himself

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Ivan Poroliev
Ivan Poroliev

Around 350,000 was in the pot as Ivan Poroliev and Steven Snyder saw the turn on a board of 8792. Poroliev then bet 150,000 from under the gun and Snyder called in early position.

The river was the 10 and Poroliev moved all in for 465,000. "This is so sick. I'm supposed to call," Snyder said.

Snyder spent several minutes muttering to himself as he considered the decision, but he eventually ended up folding. He then grabbed Poroliev's cards and pretended to look at one, hoping that Poroliev would oblige, but Poroliev returned them face down.

2005 Main Event finalist Scott Lazar was recently eliminated on another table. "Queens against kings. Oh well. Better luck next year," Lazar said as he made his exit.

Negussie Negated After Five-Bet Bluff

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Yosef Negussie
Yosef Negussie

Alen Tenorio opened his button to 22,000, which Yosef Negussie three-bet to 80,000 in the small blind. Tenorio clicked it back to 165,000, and Negussie responded with a five-bet to 400,000.

Tenorio then moved all in, and Negussie called off for 575,000 in total.

Yosef Negussie: A10 All in
Alen Tenorio: KK

Negussie needed to hit running aces after the 66K flop made Tenorio a full house. The 10 turn left Negussie drawing dead, rendering the 4 river meaningless.

"The Rich Get Richer"; Shaw Has Perfect Timing to Bust Two

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Carl Shaw
Carl Shaw

Carl Shaw raised to 28,000 in early position before Eric Worre moved all in for 260,000 in the hijack. Fernando Gutierrez also shoved for his last 190,000 in the cutoff as action went back on Shaw who snap-called.

Fernando Gutierrez: JJ All in
Eric Worre: 77 All in
Carl Shaw: AA

"Good timing," a tablemate told Shaw, who turned over two aces to leave both opponents in desperate need of help to stay alive.

"Any seven will do," Worre said, standing up from his seat filming the action as the flop came 633. The turn was the Q and Worre repeated his pleas for a lucky seven, but no helped arrived on the 5 river and Shaw scored the double knockout.

"The rich get richer," another tablemate added.
