Vasylchenko Scoops the Pot

Nataly Sopacuaperu

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Oleg Vasylchenko opened to 8,000 in the hijack, and got called by Jeremie Dray on the button and Gheorghe Podovei in the big blind. The flop revealed A♥2♣7♠.

Podovei check-called the bet of 8,000 from Vasylchenko, but Dray decided to call. Both players saw the turn J♣ and checked to the river Q♣.

The two players checked again. As soon as Vasylchenko flipped his cards 10♣10♥, Dray tossed his cards away. All the chips in the middle of the table moved towards Vasylchenko.

Oleg Vasylchenko	95,000 48,000	48,000
Gheorghe Podovei	44,000 140,500	140,500

Elijah Farrow

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

“I probably played better than the last three I won. Everything went my way this tournament. I was always at the top of the leaderboard, never really got short, and probably played my best overall.”

That's what Michael Mizrachi had to say after he cruised to victory in Event #66: $50,000 Poker Players Championship.

Already sharing the record for most $50,000 Poker Players Championship victories with Brian Rast, Mizrachi now stands alone after capturing his historic fourth title on Saturday at the 2025 World Series of Poker. "The Grinder" conquered the 107-entry field, earning $1,331,322 from the $5,162,750 prize pool and further cementing his legacy as the event's most dominant force.

Laura Fryer

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Ruiliang Hong moved all in from early position and got a call from John Barbieri in the cutoff, who was covered by Hong. Yoel Selles Meijer also called and was covered by Hong.

John Barbieri: Q♦Q♥ All in
Yoel Meijer: J♣J♠ All in
Ruiliang Hong: A♦3♥

Barbieri flopped well on A♠Q♠10♣. The 8♣ turn gave Meijer more outs and he improved to a straight on the 9♠ river, stealing the pot from both and eliminating Barbieri.
