Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
The open raise of Dmitrii Perfilev in the hijack was defended by Juan Carlos Vecino in the big blind who then checked the A♣A♦9♦ flop. Perfilev bet 140,000 and the Spanish poker pro called.
Both players opted to check the J♦ on the turn and Vecino led the 5♦ river for 265,000. Perfilev raised to 775,000 and received a quick call to flip over his 5♥5♣ for a rivered full house to claim the pot right before the dinner break.

In poker, like in life, they say records are meant to be broken.
But sometimes, someone sets a milestone that just feels impossible to top. Whether it’s because of insane skill, perfect timing, a bit of luck, or a mix of all three, the World Series of Poker has seen some feats over the years that seem like they’ll never be matched.
However, while all records may eventually fall, these achievements are currently some of the most jaw-dropping in WSOP history. Will any of them ever be broken? Only time will tell. For now, though, here are the most incredible WSOP records that will (probably) never be broken.

For two decades, Tom Goldstein was at the top of the legal world. He argued more cases before the United States Supreme Court than almost any private attorney and founded SCOTUSblog, a legal blog that quickly became the go-to source for Supreme Court analysis. He lectured at Stanford University and Harvard University and regularly appeared on national news programs.
But Goldstein had another life. When he wasn’t arguing before Supreme Court justices, Goldstein was flying to Hollywood or Hong Kong and winning or losing millions in ultra-high-stakes poker matches. He played heads-up against California businessmen and foreign gamblers, at one point allegedly winning over $50 million in just a few sessions.
Goldstein’s luck turned in January 2025 when the US Department of Justice a federal grand jury initiated a 22-count indictment accusing the attorney of failing to report millions in poker winnings and diverting law firm funds to pay his personal poker debts.
In a new PokerNews video essay, we take a look at the life of Tom Goldstein and the high-stakes poker game that led to his federal indictment.

Derek Sudell opened K♠6♠ from the hijack to 240,000 and Mikhail Prokopchuk defended his big blind with A♠10♥.
The flop came 3♠A♥7♦ and after Prokopchuk checked, Sudell fired 320,000. Prokopchuk wasn't going anywhere with his ace and put in the call to see the 6♦ give Sudell a pair of sixes. The action checked through to the 9♣ river, which again checked through.
Prokopchuk tabled his pair of aces, and took down the pot.

Lautaro Guerra raised to 250,000 and then faced the shove by Frank Flowers in the big blind. The all-in was deemed to be for 1,540,000 and Guerra reluctantly called.
Frank Flowers: A♥K♣ 
Lautaro Guerra: A♣5♦
The J♣4♥2♥ flop gave Guerra an additional wheel draw and Flowers gasped an "Jesus Christ". Flowers picked up a gutshot himself on the Q♦ turn and retained his kicker advantage on the 4♦ river to earn the double.
He also stated that this was his first win against Guerra and he needed one more to get even with the Spaniard.

Joshua Beckenstein raised to 240,000 in early position with A♣A♦ and Kohei Arai defended from the big blind with J♦2♦. The flop came 8♠8♦7♣ and the action checked to the 10♣ on the turn.
Arai led out with a bet of 380,000 and Beckenstein just called to see the 2♥ on the river. Arai checked this time and Beckenstein counted out a bet of 1,000,000. Arai check-raised to 3,500,000 which put Beckenstein in the tank for a few minutes before he decided to let the best hand go.
