Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Zarvan Tumboli raised to 250,000 on the button, and Joshua Ladines made the call from the small blind. The 10♣9♣4♠ flop checked through, bringing in the K♣ on the turn. Ladines checked again, but Tumboli decided to bet this time, choosing 350,000 as his sizing. Ladines put in the call, and the 6♠ peeled off on the river. Action checked through again.

"Two pair," announced Ladines. Despite being the last aggressor, Tumboli leaned over in an attempt to see said two pair, and Ladines tabled A♠J♣10♥9♥. Tumboli then picked up his cards, and went back and forth between examining them and the board for around twenty seconds. Eventually, he realised he had the worst of it. "I thought I had king-four, for two pair better," he said, as he mucked his cards.

Lyle Bateman

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 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.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

It’s been a historic run for Leo Margets in this year’s WSOP Main Event, but unfortunately for the Spaniard and her loyal legion of supporters, that run has now come to an end.

Across nine days of play at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, Margets became the first woman in three decades to reach the final table of poker’s world championship, earning her place in the history books with a headline-grabbing run on the game’s biggest stage.

However, her tournament came to a close in 7th place for $1,500,000 after a brutal river card in a key pot against Kenny Hallaert ended her bid for the title.
