Soika Trips Up Laskowitz for the KO

Level 7 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Action picked up to the turn in a hand between Samuel Laskowitz from the big blind and Ihar Soika from the hijack. The board read J10210 and there was roughly 105,000 in the middle already.

Laskowitz checked to Soika who bet 38,000 and Laskowitz put in the call.

Laskowitz checked once more on the A river as Soika bet enough to Laskowitz all-in for his final 90,000, and he shrugged as he made the call after a little over 30 seconds.

Samuel Laskowitz: AJ All in
Ihar Soika: K10

Soika turned trip tens against the rivered top two pair of Laskowitz and he could not get away as he was sent to the rail.

Poker Crusher Makes Insane Ace-High Hero Call on WSOP Main Event Bubble

Level 7 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Josh Reichard
Josh Reichard

“It was a spot where most people are more sane than me and wouldn’t have put their money in.”

Josh Reichard made one of the gutsiest decisions of the 2025 World Series of Poker so far, calling for his tournament life with nothing but ace-high on the stone money bubble of the $10,000 WSOP Main Event.

Already a 16-time WSOP Circuit ring winner and reigning MSPT Heart Poker Champion, Reichard came into the Main Event on a serious heater. He’d cashed in nine WSOP events this summer, including a third-place finish worth $702,360 in the controversial Millionaire Maker.

Hamada Looks Up Peters

Level 7 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Action was picked up on the flop in a pot between Thomas Graupner in the big blind, Shoichiro Hamada in the hijack and David Peters on the button.

The flop read K2A and action checked around to Peters who bet 10,000 and both Graupner and Hamada called.

Everyone checked the 7 turn to the 10 river where action checked around to Peters who bet 52,000. Graupner folded and Hamada burned one time extension before calling.

Peters turned over Q5 for queen-high while Hamada turned over A10 for aces up which was good for the pot.

Kristen Foxen
Kristen Foxen

Kristen Foxen opened to 13,000 first to act and was three-bet to 40,000 by Brek Schutten on the button. Shoichiro Hamada made it 95,000 to go from the big blind and Foxen used up a time extension before announcing she was all in for approximately 400,000 total.

Schutten quickly folded and Hamada followed suit after a bit of thought to award Foxen the pot.

Level 7 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Sean Winter opened to 13,000 from early position before Adrian Mateos three-bet to 40,000 from the hijack, and Winter called.

On the K73 flop, Winter check-called a bet of 24,000 from Mateos.

The Q turn checked through to the Q river which saw Winter check for a third. Mateos took some time before he cut out a bet of 110,000, and Winter put in the call after a small tank.

Adrian Mateos: A9
Sean Winter: KJ

Miller Springs the Trap

Level 7 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Daniel Rezaei opened to 12,000 under the gun and Arieori Miller called on his direct left. In middle position, Alex Keating squeezed to 65,000. Rezaei quickly got out of the way before Miller went into a small tank. He used a time bank before he announced all-in for 184,000 and Keating called as the covering stack.

Arieori Miller: KK All in
Alex Keating: AK

It was a cooler scenario between two premium holdings with Miller having the best of it. Nothing changed on the J8539 runout as Keating could not pair his ace and he was left short while Miller got the full double.
