Alessandro Predaroli raised to 60,000 in the cutoff with Q♦10♦, which Dai Ishibashi and Joey Padron called in the blinds, holding K♥J♠ and 5♥2♠, respectively. The 7♦10♥8♣ flop was checked by all three, after which the 7♥ turn appeared.

Ishibashi led out for 70,000, and Padron quickly folded. Predaroli called to the A♣ river, where Ishibashi placed an over-bet of 500,000. After some thinking time, Predaroli let the best hand go as Ishibashi took the pot with king-high.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Andrew Neeme and Brad Owen, two of poker’s most influential vloggers and co-owners of The Lodge Card Club, saw their impressive 2025 World Series of Poker Main Event runs come to an end on Day 5.

The popular content creators were among the final 522 players still in contention for the $10 million top prize, but both were eliminated within a few spots of each other. Neeme exited in 382nd place, followed shortly by Owen in 373rd. Each earned a $40,000 payday for their efforts.

For Neeme, a WSOP Circuit ring winner, it marked his second Main Event cash following a deep run to 164th place ($58,500) in 2023. Owen, meanwhile, celebrated his first-ever WSOP Main Event cash.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Nils Pudel raised to 60,000 and then folded when Christopher DeMaci three-bet jammed 645,000.

Shortly after on the same table, Roy Picciuca raised the button and called a three-bet by Zarvan Tumboli in the small blind. The Q♦7♦5♠ flop was checked by both and Picciuca bet the 2♦ turn for 80,000, Tumboli check-called.

Tumboli then led the 10♦ on the river for 300,000, which represented half of the stack of his table neighbour. No call followed and the pot was shipped to the Indian poker pro.

Tumboli moved his cards towards Picciuca and nodded, who then glanced at them and flipped over the A♠K♦ for the king-high flush.

Zarvan Tumboli	3,575,000 2,525,000	2,525,000

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Alexandros Kolonias raised to 60,000 in middle position, David Kaufmann moved all in for 445,000 in the hijack, and Kolonias called.

David Kaufmann: A♠K♣ All in
Alexandros Kolonias: A♣Q♥

Kaufmann had Kolonias dominated, but the 6♥2♥5♥ flop meant he had to dodge Kolonias' flush draw to stay alive. The A♦ turn gave both players top pair, and Kaufmann's king-kicker remained ahead on the J♣ river to earn the double up.

Eric Afriat made it 60,000 from the hijack before Antoine Berruel jammed for 355,000 from the next seat. Sam Jakubowicz chose to call from the small blind, and Afriat also called.

With Berruel all-in, the dealer delivered a flop of 9♠7♦5♦. Jakubowicz bet out for 400,000 into the dry side pot, forcing Afriat out of the pot.

Antoine Berruel: 8♥8♣ All in
Sam Jakubowicz :10♥10♠

Berruel was behind with his Snowmen and needed an eight or a six to stay alive and triple up. The remainder of the board came 4♥K♥, and Jakubowicz won the pot, eliminating Berruel.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Rene-Charles Angelil bet from early position, then called the 180,000 re-raise of Gustavo Morales from middle position to send them to a flop in a three-bet pot.

Angelil checked the K♣5♣5♦ flop before Morales bet 125,000. Angelil called to stay in the hand.

After Angelil checked the 9♥ turn, Morales fired again, this time for 225,000. Angelil hung around with a call.

Both players checked the 4♥ river.

Angelil showed J♠J♥, but Morales was slightly better as he revealed he had Q♥Q♣ to take down the pot.
