2025 World Series of Poker
Hong Zou raised to 20,000 on the button, Arman Bolouri shoved his 210,000 chip stack into the middle from the small blind, Zou went deep into the tank, and eventually made the call.
Arman Bolouri: 7♣7♥
Hong Zou: A♠K♠
Great flop for Zou as he flopped a straight on Q♦J♦10♥, the 7♠ on the turn gave Bolouri more outs to win, but the board did not pair on the 4♥ river, and he was eliminated.
Luka Bojovic and Delmiro Toledo built a pot of around 150,000 as they went heads-up to the A♦5♥A♣ flop. Bojovic then bet 60,000 from middle position and Toledo called in early position.
Bojovic bet another 115,000 on the 3♦ turn and Toledo again called. The river was the 7♣ and Bojovic bet 200,000.
"You wouldn't do that with queens, would you?" Toledo wondered as he took a few minutes to consider the decision. He eventually tossed K♣K♥ into the muck and Bojovic took the pot, later telling Toledo he had A♠K♠.
Three players were still active in the hand with around 500,000 already in the pot. The dealer fanned the flop of J♠J♥10♠ and Adam Krach led out with a bet of 100,000 in the blinds. Joshua Payne deliberated for a minute before letting his hand go. Arthur Peacock, on the other hand, shoved all in from the hijack and Krach instantly called off his stack of 338,000.
Adam Krach: K♠K♦
Arthur Peacock: A♠7♠
The turn brought the 3♠ to give Peacock a flush but the K♣ hit the river which improved Krach to a full house as he fist pumped his way to a double up. After the hand, Payne mentioned that he folded pocket queens, but then also changed his story that he had king-queen suited.
Stephane Roux raised to 20,000 in the cutoff. Yakov Albaz made it 60,000 on the button, after which Mathew Moore three-bet all in, covering both opponents.
Roux quickly called off, prompting Albaz to lay down his holding.
Stephane Roux: J♥J♣
Mathew Moore: Q♠10♠
Moore paired his queen on the 3♣6♥K♦Q♥ turn, and the 2♥ river did not bring a jack to save Roux, sending him to the exit.
Matthew Hunt made it 20,000 under the gun with Will Kassouf calling from middle position, and Terence Clee calling on the button.
The action checked to Clee on the K♥5♥J♠ flop and he bet 20,000. Hunt folded, but Kassouf called.
The 4♦ came on the turn and both players checked to see the 4♣ hit the river. Two more checks followed, and Kassouf turned over 6♠6♦ for a pair of sixes. Clee had that beat with J♣10♣ for a pair of jacks, and the pot was pushed to him.
Kevin Grabel limped in from the small blind and Arie Kliper checked from the big blind.
The flop came Q♠2♣3♣. Grabel bet 12,000 and Kliper called.
Grabel checked the 6♠ turn, Kliper bet 38,000 and Grabel called. On the A♦ river Grabel checked, Kliper shoved and Grabel called with his remaining stack of 135,000.
Kliper had a missed combo draw with J♣5♣ while Grabel had 9♠6♥ for just a pair of sixes to win the hand.
Harsukhpaul Sangha just got moved to a new table and didn't take long to wager his entire stack of 113,000.
"You just got here," Justin Belforti said before looking at his cards.
"I don't know how you play so I'm just playing the value of my cards," Sangha replied.
Belforti just called and the rest of the table folded as the two hands were tabled.
Harsukhpaul Sangha: 8♠8♥
Justin Belforti: A♠Q♠
The flop came K♣6♠3♣ and Sangha maintained his lead with a pair of eights. The 4♠ on the turn gave Belforti a flush draw and that flush came in on the 5♠ river to eliminate Sangha as quickly as he arrived.
Chahn Jung made it 20,000 from middle position and only Tyler Hancock called out of the big blind.
Hancock started with a check on the 3♣7♥J♦ flop, allowing Jung to bet 17,000. Hancock check-raised to 50,000, which was quickly called by Jung.
The 4♦ turn received two checks, as did the 6♦ river. Hancock turned over a bluff with Q♠9♠, and lost the pot to Jung's 8♥8♠ for a pair of eights.
Yaniv Peretz opened to 20,000 in middle position and got one caller in Michael Hollenberg in the cutoff.
The dealer flopped 10♣5♣A♣ which both players checked. Peretz checked the turn 10♠. Hollenberg fired 22,000 which was enought to take the pot down.
