Ryan Dodd opened the action with a raise to 20,000 from the cutoff. Jacopo Achille responded in the small blind with a raise all-in for 55,000. Benjamin Underwood woke up with a hand in the big blind and raised to 162,000. Dodd folded as Achille and Underwood went to a showdown.
Jacopo Achille: A♣A♥
Benjamin Underwood: A♦Q♣
Achille had Underwood crushed, but the flop of 10♠J♣2♠ brought some intrigue as it gave Underwood a gutshot to a straight.
The 4♠ turn was a blank to keep Achille in front.
Achille avoided an upset when the 10♥ river peeled off as he scooped the pot.

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.
Max Kruse raised to 20,000 from under the gun and faced a re-raise from Leo Lombardozzi from middle position to 53,000. Kruse responded by going all-in for roughly 260,000 and was instantly called by Lombardozzi.
Max Kruse: A♠K♥
Leo Lombardozzi: K♦K♣
Lombardozzi had no sweat as the board ran out 9♦8♦8♥3♦10♠.

Abhishek Paul raised to 25,000 from under the gun, and action folded around to Congya Zhang in the big blind who made the call.
The dealer peeled off the flop of Q♥2♦8♥ and Zhang check-called Paul's 24,000 continuation bet. Both players checked the 9♣ turn and saw the 4♦ drop on the river. Zhang checked over to Paul, who flipped out a 30,000 bet. Zhang thought for a while before making the call and instantly mucked her cards when Paul tabled A♠9♠ for second pair.

Jiho Lam out of the button, and Marius Kudzmanas from the small blind got all their chips in the middle with Kudzmanas at risk for his tournament.
Marius Kudzmanas: A♠6♣
Jiho Lam: Q♣2♥
Lam didn't have much of a hand as Kudzmanas was in the lead as they headed to a runout.
The 3♦9♥9♠ was a welcome sight for Kudzmanas as it held his lead.
The turn was not as pretty for Kudzmanas as the Q♦ peeled off to push Lam into the lead.
The 6♦ paired Kudzmanas, but it was not enough to overcome his fate as he exited the tournament.
