Quentin De Solere limped from the small blind, and Christos Argyriadis raised from the big blind to pot, 160,000. De Solere three-bet to 350,000, and Argyriadis four-bet enough to put De Solere all-in, 75,000, and the cards were tabled.
Quentin De Solere: A♣A♠8♥4♠
Christos Argyriadis: K♥6♠5♠3♥
The dealer laid out K♣6♣A♦9♦A♥ and De Solere held quads for the win and the much-needed chip boost.

Andrew Neeme and Brad Owen, two of poker’s most influential vloggers and co-owners of The Lodge Card Club, saw their impressive 2025 World Series of Poker Main Event runs come to an end on Day 5.
The popular content creators were among the final 522 players still in contention for the $10 million top prize, but both were eliminated within a few spots of each other. Neeme exited in 382nd place, followed shortly by Owen in 373rd. Each earned a $40,000 payday for their efforts.
For Neeme, a WSOP Circuit ring winner, it marked his second Main Event cash following a deep run to 164th place ($58,500) in 2023. Owen, meanwhile, celebrated his first-ever WSOP Main Event cash.
Nirath Rean raised and only got called by Lukas Hafner in the small blind.
The flop came 8♠4♥Q♠ and Hafner check-called for 80,000. The A♦ turn and Q♥ river brought no betting action.
Hafner tabled K♠K♦10♦7♣ and it was good enough to make Rean muck his cards.

Noah Boeken raised the pot to 140,000 from under the gun, and action was folded around to Igor Zektser on the button, who three-bet pot to 420,000. Jonathan Turner in the big blind, then called all-in for less than the pot, and Boeken also called and was all-in for less as well.
Noah Boeken: J♣J♥3♣3♥
Jonathan Turner: K♦Q♥Q♦4♥
Igor Zektser: A♣Q♠9♣9♠
The flop came 8♣6♦A♦ and Zektser stormed into the lead with a pair of aces. The turn brought the 5♥ and changed nothing, and when the river paired the board with the 5♠ Zektser's one pair scooped the main and side pots to send both Boeken and Turner packing and claim a double bounty elimination.

Tom Mccormick opened to 140,000 under the gun, leaving only 15,000 behind. He got three callers in Nelson Chelini in hijack and the blinds, Samuel Roussy-Majeau in the small and Jake Parsons in the big.
The dealer unfurled J♠J♦Q♣. Roussy-Majeau led with 125,000. Parsons called and Mccormick put in his remaining chips. Chelini folded his hand and watched the blinds battle it out. Their actions created a 220,000 side pot.
Roussy-Majeau kept the pressure high with a 175,000 bet on the turn 7♦. Parsons, not willing to let go, called. Finally on the river 6♥, Roussy-Majeau fired 400,000 sending Parsons to the tank. He took some time to consider his options but ended up conceding the side pot worth 570,000 to Roussy-Majeau.
Tom Mccormick: A♥K♠Q♥2♥
Samuel Roussy-Majeau : J♥10♣6♠4♥
Roussy-Majeau flopped trips taking Mccormick's bounty and sending him to the payout counter.
