The 44 remaining players are on a 15-minute break. They'll play two more levels tonight before wrapping up.
In a blind versus blind pot, the flop read 9♥2♠3♠ when Andrew Yee checked and George Tomescu bet 190,000. Yee tanked and raised to 475,000. Tomescu shoved for around 2,260,000 and Yee called with slightly less:
Andrew Yee: 5♦3♦
George Tomescu: Q♦Q♥
Yee was in bad shape to survive, and the J♦8♠ runout didn't bring anything to bust Yee from the event.

In the 906th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Kyna England, and Mike Holtz are back at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas to discuss the latest news and highlights from the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP), including Daniel Negreanu suggesting that poker players shouldn't hesitate to call the clock on other slow-acting players.
Other stories include Will Kassouf being back in the poker spotlight, for better or worse, as well as how the PokerNews Podcast crew did in the 2025 WSOP Main Event. Hint: Kyna, who is now representing Tilted Compass, did an interview with Jeff Platt while Chad got pulled up on the PokerGO live stream. They also highlight Shaun Deeb capturing his seventh bracelet and setting himself up to win POY, Nick Ahmadi taking down the PokerNews Deepstack Championship, PokerGO founder Cary Katz claiming his first bracelet, and Chris Moneymaker winning another Moneymaker Tour title.
Finally, Maria Ho talks about releasing Pokerriculum (viewers/listeners have a chance to win a free copy of the game), and an update on the PokerNews Podcast Fantasy League between Mike, Chad/Kyna, Joey Ingram, and Christina Gollins.
A new PokerNews Podcast will drop twice a week during the 2025 WSOP every Thursday and Sunday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time. Remember to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you do not miss an episode!

Andrew Yee opened to 330,000 on the button and got a three-bet shove for around 1,000,000 from the player to his immediate left, George Tomescu.
Slightly peeved that they were heads-up again, Yee made the call taking them to showdown.
George Tomescu: 10♥10♦
Andrew Yee : A♥4♥
Tomescu's tens held on the board of 8♦2♣J♦J♥Q♣. Somewhat expecting the result, Yee matched Tomescu's chips and gave him his double-up.
