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.

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.

Lindsey Mcdougall
Lindsey Mcdougall

From the button, Anthony Hugenberg opened to 20,000, and Lindsey McDougall called from the small blind. Peter Park squeezed it up to 85,000 from the big blind, forcing Hugenberg to fold quickly. McDougall pondered briefly and then jammed for 180,000. Park immediately called.

Lindsey McDougall: KQ All in
Peter Park: AK

McDougall was in rough shape against the Big Slick of Park. However, the Q54 flop gave her top pair and a commanding lead in the hand. The dealer revealed the J on the turn and 5 on the river, cementing McDougall's double-up through Park.

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

Mike Matusow raised to 22,000 in the hijack and was called by Kenny Hallaert and Rahul Deevara in the blinds. The flop came Q74 and the action checked to Matusow who continued with a bet of 30,000. Hallaert just called and Deevara ripped all in for 143,000. Matusow quickly called and Hallaert got out of the way.

Rahul Deevara: Q7All in
Mike Matusow: AQ

Deevara flopped two pair to hold a big lead over Matusow who just had top pair. The 3 and 2 runout changed nothing and Matusow was forced to pass over half of his stack.
