Jon Turner opened to 35,000 from under the gun and was called by Kahle Burns on the button and Mike Gorodinsky in the big blind.

On the Q♠Q♦10♠ flop, the action checked to Burns who bet 34,000 and only Turner called.

Turner then opted to lead on the A♣ turn for 65,000 and Burns called.

On the 5♦ river, Turner bet small for 60,000 into a pot of 327,000, and Burns quickly called. Turner tabled A♥Q♥8♦4♥ for a full house as Burns mucked what he said was a straight.

2-7 Triple Draw

Jeremy Ausmus raised and then called a three-bet by Mike Gorodinsky. Both discarded two and Ausmus check-called a bet. He took another two against the one of Gorodinsky and checked, Gorodinsky bet and took down the pot right there.

No-Limit Hold'em

Ausmus then raised to 32,000 and Kahle Burns in the big blind asked "you started with around two forty?" to which Ausmus nodded. Burns then pushed all-in with the far bigger stack and Ausmus essentially already confirmed he would be calling but was going to wait for a short while in case anyone busts on the other table before calling.

Jeremy Ausmus: Q♦Q♠ All in
Kahle Burns: A♣5♣

The A♠5♥3♦ flop instantly improved Burns to two pair, and Ausmus failed to connect on the 3♣ turn and 8♠ river to bow out in eighth place. All remaining seven players will now redraw to the unofficial final table and move to the left side feature table in the Horseshoe Event Center.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Eric Wasserson raised from the cutoff and Jon Turner defended his big blind.

Turner check-called a bet on the Q♠10♣2♠ flop.

On the 10♠ turn, Turner checked again to Wasserson who bet and Turner called.

Wasserson fired for a final time on the K♠ river and Turner reluctantly called.

"Royal flush," Wasserson announced as he tabled A♠Q♣J♠7♥.

"That's good," Turner joked, "I also had a flush."

Event #83: $2,500 Freezeout No-Limit Hold'em on Friday at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) began with controversy, PokerNews Podcast co-host Mike Holtz, who witnessed the wild incident at his table, explained.

Two players began Day 2 with the wrong stack, and one of those players quickly doubled up before anyone realized the error. The bracelet event attracted 1,299 players, and 247 bagged chips late Thursday night. The bubble burst with the 196th-place finisher at around 2:30 p.m. PT.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Brian Tate raised from under the gun, finding a call from Eric Wasserson in the big blind. The dealer fanned out the 7♦Q♥Q♦ flop, where both players checked to the 9♦ turn.

Another pair of checks led to the 4♠ river, and Wasserson checked again. Tate followed with one more check, turning over A♣K♥K♦9♥ for two pair.

Wasserson confirmed that he was not holding a made hand, while Tate added more chips to his stack.

2-7 Triple Draw

Thomas Taylor raised from the cutoff and Jeremy Ausmus called in the small blind.

Both took two, Ausmus led, Taylor raised, and Ausmus called.

Ausmus took one while and check-called after Taylor stood pat.

Ausmus took one again on the final draw and check-called another bet as Taylor tabled 8x6x5x4x2x for number eight which was good as he left Ausmus as the shortest stack in the field.
