Three Thousand into Sixty

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Following a single raise preflop to 1,600, four players saw a flop of J♥10♦K♣. Michael Dimaiuta checked in the small blind, Billy Tarango checked in the big, Tarun Golati did the same from the cutoff, as did Dustin Goldklang on the button, bringing in the 5♥ turn. Here, Dimaiuta bet out for 4,000 and Tarango flatted. Golati then potted it to 22,900, and only Tarango called.

The river came the 9♠ and Golati went all in for his remaining 3,100 into a pot of nearly 60,000 when checked to. Tarango made the fold.

Alan Keating & Daniel Negreanu

Alan Keating had an opportunity to prove to the high-stakes tournament grinders — notably, Daniel Negreanu — that he can hang in their arena. But the Hustler Casino Live fan favorite bowed out in the second round of Event #7: $25,000 Heads-Up Championship on Friday at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP).

Keating, known primarily for his high-stakes cash game appearances, has over $200,000 in career WSOP earnings but hasn’t recorded a WSOP cash since 2013. Recently, he’s been publicly challenged by several high-stakes pros—including Negreanu — to step outside the comfort of the private cash game scene and compete against the game's elites.

It seems Negreanu was on Keating’s mind when he registered for the event. When PokerNews caught up with him and asked about his motivation for playing, Keating said, “It’s a heads-up tournament, and I saw Negreanu was on the list,” adding that he thought to himself, “Alright, here’s my chance to find him in his streets.”

Five players saw the flop come down J♠K♠A♠ and after a check from the small blind, Matthew Wantman bet 2,500 from the big blind. Pei Li was the only caller from under the gun.

Wantman decided to check the 3♠ turn, and Li bet 7,500. Wantman carved out the call.

After Wantman checked for the last time on the 10♦ river, Li bet 20,800. Wantman tossed in one chip to indicate a call, but was made to match the entire bet after Li flipped over A♥Q♠9♥4♠ for a flush to win the pot.

River Set for Zhou

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Action was picked up on the river, as a huge hand had been taking place between Samuel Del Castillo and Steven Zhou. The two had gotten into it blind on blind, and had shoveled 52,000 into the middle by the time action had ended on fourth street. The board read 4♦3♠A♠7♣5♦ and Del Castillo had put Zhou all in from the small blind. Zhou snap-called.

Del Castillo, forced to show his cards, had K♠Q♠J♦9♣ for nothing but a missed flush draw. Zhou had also missed his flush draw with J♠5♥5♣4♠ but had been ahead the whole way, and rivered three of a kind just to be sure.

Thomas Frith limped the button, and Greg Levine completed from the small blind. Santhosh Suvarna raised to 1,600 from the big blind, which only Frith called.

After seeing the Q♠Q♣7♠ flop, Suvarna put out a continuation-bet of 1,000. Frith swiftly made the call.

The 4♥ appeared on the turn and Suvarna bet again, this time for 5,000. Frith snap-folded this time, and surrendered the pot to Suvarna.
