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

Josselin Gardes raised 10♣8♣ to 60,000 from the hijack and Rahul Rastogi called on the button with 6♦6♣.

Rastogi flopped a full house on the 6♥K♣K♦ flop and Gardes bet into him with 60,000. Rastogi called.

The 10♥ landed on the turn and Gardes slowed down with a check after pairing his ten, then Rastogi fired 155,000. Gardes called once again to see the 5♦ river, then checked it over to Rastogi.

Rastogi then shoved, which put Gardes to the test for his last 305,000. Around a minute passed before he finally decided to let it go, and Rastogi raked in the chips.

Tomohiro Tamano: K♠K♣

The flop came Q♣8♥6♣ and Fox was left cheering for one of the two remaining threes in the deck. The A♣ on the turn and the 5♦ on the river provided no help to Fox who was sent to collect his payout.

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

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.

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.

Player	Chips	Progress
Zarvan Tumboli	3,575,000 2,525,000	2,525,000

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.
