Naranja Runs Into a Monster

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

Damon Fine raised to 24,000 in early position before Agustin Naranja three-bet to 75,000 in the cutoff. Fine then four-bet to 180,000, Naranja moved all in for 320,000, and Fine snap-called.

Agustin Naranja: AK All in
Damon Fine: AA

Fine had woken up with aces to leave Naranja at risk of elimination, but the K410 flop gave Naranja some outs with a pair. The turn was the 4, while no miracles arrived for Naranja on the 10 river and he was sent to the rail.

At the same table, Ruben Correia has built up a stack of more than 3,000,000.

Mizrachi bet 150,000 on the 5 river and Christoforou snap-called. Christoforou had second pair with 98 but Mizrachi had top pair with J10 to win the pot.

Conniff Hits a Trey to Send Ketendjian Home

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

Asher Conniff raised to 30,000 on the button and Gevork Ketendjian moved all in out of the big blind for around 70,000. Conniff immediately called.

Gevork Ketendjian: A5 All in
Asher Conniff: A3

A chop looked like the most likely outcome as both players held small aces. However, the dealer produced a runout of 39QJ6 to give Conniff the best hand with a pair of treys on the flop. The pot was sent to Conniff, and Ketendjian was out.

Poker Crusher Makes Insane Ace-High Hero Call on WSOP Main Event Bubble

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Josh Reichard
Josh Reichard

“It was a spot where most people are more sane than me and wouldn’t have put their money in.”

Josh Reichard made one of the gutsiest decisions of the 2025 World Series of Poker so far, calling for his tournament life with nothing but ace-high on the stone money bubble of the $10,000 WSOP Main Event.

Already a 16-time WSOP Circuit ring winner and reigning MSPT Heart Poker Champion, Reichard came into the Main Event on a serious heater. He’d cashed in nine WSOP events this summer, including a third-place finish worth $702,360 in the controversial Millionaire Maker.

Perati Picks Off Pateychuk in Prodigious Pot

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

Muhamet Perati raised to 25,000 on the button and Andrey Pateychuk defended from the big blind. The flop came Q76 and Pateychuk check-called a bet of 20,000 from Perati.

The turn brought the 8 and Pateychuk checked again. Perati counted out a bet of 65,000 and Pateychuk check-raised to 220,000. Perati called and they were off to the K on the river.

Pateychuk announced all in as the big stack and Perati had a decision to make for his stack of 767,000. He thought for well over two minutes before sticking in some chips to call. Pateychuk rolled over 97 for a pair with a missed straight and flush draw while Perati claimed the pot with QQ for a set of queens.

Don't Splash the Pot!

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

The floor was just called to Table 509 for one of the more unusual requests - a towel.

Mohammad Siddiqui spilt his drink on the table, catching the dealer and some of the cards.

The hand was completed, the table wiped, the deck changed, and play resumed.

The flop came 958. Umerova bet 100,000 and Mizrachi raised to 300,000. Umerova folded and Mizrachi took down another pot without showdown.

Wittmeyer Doubles Through Margets

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Leo Margets
Leo Margets

Leo Margets opened the action with a raise to 25,000 from middle position and got a call from Robert Nemeskerikiss in the hijack. Brandon Wittmeyer, sitting on the button, then ripped in a three-bet to 369,000, leaving himself just a single big blind behind.

Margets asked for a count and, after getting confirmation, moved all in. Nemeskerikiss got out of the way, and Wittmeyer quickly called off the rest.

Leo Margets: 1010All in
Brandon Wittmeyer: AQ

It was a classic flip, and while Margets was ahead preflop, the J32A6 runout gave Wittmeyer top pair and the much-needed double-up, leaving Margets with a dented stack.

Both players checked the KK9 flop to see the 10 fall on the turn. Another round of checks came and the dealer revealed the J on the river. Mariani led out for 210,000, prompting a tank-fold from Payne.
