René-Charles Angelil, son of Canadian singer Celine Dion, is singing his own tune deep in the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event.

The 24-year-old offspring of an iconic songstress entered Thursday's Day 5 session in the $10,000 buy-in tournament with over 100 big blinds, with 522 players remaining. He has as strong a chance at winning the $10,000,000 first-place prize as anyone still standing.

Angelil doesn't just come from musical roots. His late father, René Angelil, was an avid poker player with over $750,000 in live tournament cashes, according to The Hendon Mob. Daniel Negreanu told PokerNews that the elder Angelil, who married Dion in 1994, would often stop into Bobby's Room at Bellagio to play high-stakes cash games while his wife performed at nearby Caesars Palace.

Jiwoo Hyul opened to 60,000 from middle position and Michael Mizrachi three-bet to 140,000 from the hijack. Hyul called.

The flop came 6♠4♠A♥. Hyul checked and Mizrachi bet 85,000. Hyul called.

Mizrachi continued for 125,000 when checked to on the 5♣ turn and Hyul called again. Both players then checked the 5♦ river.

Mizrachi could only show a bluff with K♥10♦ while Hyul had 6♥6♣ for sixes full of fives to take a nice pot from Mizrachi.

Lautaro Guerra raised to 60,000 in early position and was called by Rodney Reames in middle position and Frank Flowers in the hijack.

The flop came J♦7♣8♥ and Guerra checked to Reames who bet 200,000. Flowers then raised to 700,000 and Guerra folded, but Reames moved all in for 970,000. Flowers quickly called.

Rodney Reames: K♣K♦ All in
Frank Flowers: A♣J♣

Flowers had flopped top pair, but Reames had slow-played a pair of kings and was a favorite to double up. The rest of the board ran out 3♠3♥ and Reames secured the pot.

"You played it good. I was going to three-bet preflop, and I guess i would've found out then," Flowers told him as he handed over the chips.

Thomas Boivin raised to 65,000 in the cutoff, Stephen Hesse flatted his button, and Isaac Haxton came along in the small blind.

The three players checked through the 3♥4♣6♣ flop, as well as the A♥ turn. The 5♥ then emerged on the river. Haxton bet 200,000, and Boivin quickly got rid of his K♦4♦.

Hesse spent some time in the tank before he tossed in a call. Haxton tabled J♥9♥ for a flush, and Hesse's A♠Q♠ was added to the muck.

Tolga Demirel opened to 70,000 from under the gun and was called by Alen Tenorio in middle position and Harold Lam in the hijack. Leonardo Valenzuela returned from break with just 445,000 and ripped all in on the button. Demirel reshoved all in which forced Tenorio and Lam out of the hand.

Leonardo Valenzuela: K♣K♦All in
Tolga Demirel: A♠K♥

The flop came J♦10♣6♠ and Demirel picked up some additional outs with a straight draw. However, the 3♥ and 5♣ runout bricked out and Valenzuela earned himself a double up.

Rory Monahan shoved for 170,000 from under the gun, and Greg Merson called from a few seats over.

"I only looked at an ace," said Monahan.

"I have tens," replied Merson.

Rory Monahan: A♠7♣ All in
Greg Merson: 10♦10♣

Monahan never found any help from the K♥9♦5♣8♠K♠ runout, and he was sent on his way.

"Good game, guys," said Monahan to the table before his departure.

Andrejs Prost jammed for his final 285,000 from early position and was called in the next seat over by Ruben Correia to put Prost at risk.

Andrejs Prost: 9♥9♠All in
Ruben Correia: A♦A♠

Prost held a pocket pair, but Correia was equipped with the best starting hand in the game.

The flop brought a bit of intrigue as it came J♥Q♠10♦ to give Prost the lower end of the straight draw as Correia blocked the high end.

This proved to matter when the K♠ peeled off on the turn to give both players a straight, but Correia held the higher straight.

The K♦ river was the end of the road for Prost as he was eliminated.

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

One of the chip leaders heading into the last break was Michael Hawker, who scored a huge double against Luke Chung in a battle of the blinds as recorded by Francis Anderson and recalled by Christopher DeMaci.

Chung had a gutshot royal flush draw with A♦10♦ after the Q♠Q♦J♦4♠ turn while Hawker was ahead with J♠8♥ when his check-shove in a battle of the blinds triggered the massive pot in the previous level. Hawker jumped out of his chair and already gasped that he was out of the tournament, but that actually didn't happen as his marginal lead held up thanks to the 10♣ on the river.

Brian Saslavchik: K♦K♥ All in
Noah Goldman: A♣A♦

All three players had a pocket pair, but Goldman showed down two aces and was a big favorite to scoop the pot. The board ran out 5♠4♣7♠10♦2♠ and Goldman sent both opponents to the rail.
