Pudel Doubles Through Lynskey

Tim Baker

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Alex Lynskey raised to 105,000 from middle position before Nils Pudel jammed for 395,000 from the cutoff. Once the button and blinds folded, Lynskey called.

Nils Pudel: A♥A♠ All in
Alex Lynskey: A♣Q♦

Pudel had aces, and Lynskey wasn't able to crack them with his ace-queen, as the board ran out J♣7♦5♦8♥10♠, meaning Pudel earned a crucial double.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Kosaku Akashi opened to 80,000 in middle position and Colin Robinson three-bet to 140,000 in the cutoff. Akashi called.

Akashi checked on the flop of J♦9♥4♥ and Robinson checked back. Akashi then led out for 250,000 on the J♣ turn and Robinson called.

Akashi checked on the 8♠ river and Robinson checked back. Akashi showed 8♥7♥ for eights with a missed flush draw, but it was no good against the A♠9♠ of Robinson.

Calum Grant

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Some people really do have all the luck — and the rest of the field in Event #86: $1,000 Mystery Bounty Pot-Limit Omaha at the 2025 World Series of Poker might be thinking just that after Vincent Moscati pulled both of the $100,000 jackpot mystery bounty prizes.

His mother, sister, and friends were all on the rail to celebrate as Moscati cracked open the second six-figure chest on the big screen, completing one of the most incredible back-to-back bounty sweats of the summer.

With $201,500 now locked up in bounty prizes, Moscati has already secured more than the third-place payout of $164,090, and if he finds one of the remaining $25,000 chests, he’ll surpass second place as well.

Adam Lamers

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

A hand that went well into the last break of the night, Hartt Stearns and Daniele Primerano were heads up in what was an innocent enough pot of 650,000. The board read A♦K♠2♣10♠6♣ and Stearns checked to the Italian who made an overbet of 880,000.

Stearns check-raised all in for 3,295,000 which put Primerano in a difficult spot. In the tank for nearly five minutes, Primerano tried to get anything he could out of his opponent.

"Give me something," he pleaded. "I've got a big hand. I don't know how I'm going to fold. You just have ace or kings though. You're supposed to have ace-king too."

Stearns sat comfortably quiet in his chair and just gave a little smirk. Primerano eventually announced a call and Stearns turned over Q♥J♥ for the nut straight to score a massive double up.

Hartt Stearns	7,250,000 4,305,000	4,305,000

Argiero Finds a Double

Kai Cocklin

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Carmino Argiero shoved for 555,000 from early position and Jonathan Azoulay called in the big blind.

Carmino Argiero: A♦4♦ All in
Jonathan Azoulay: K♣9♦

Argiero was looking to double up, and got off to a good start when the A♥4♠Q♣ flop hit the baize. The 7♠ on the river left Azoulay drawing dead, and a meaningless Q♦ filled out the board.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

The action folded to Guy Leathley in the small blind and he pushed all-in only for current chip leader Sebastian Schulze to quickly call with the far bigger stack in the big blind.

Guy Leathley: A♣J♥ All in
Sebastian Schulze: A♦Q♣

The kicker played on the K♥9♣2♠Q♦5♠ board to send Leathley to the rail early in the final level of the day.
