Still looking intently at Rich, Gonzalez checked when the A♦ fell on the turn. Rich fired 65,000, making Gonzalez think about his options while still studying Rich's face. After a few seconds, he folded his hand and conceded the pot to Rich.

After arriving at Table 532, Esther Taylor was attempting to get a server to the table to address their need of empty drink glasses. "Can we get some cocktails?" Taylor asked loudly. Meanwhile, a pair of black socks had been taken off by someone and were just lying on the floor around the table, along with a spilled drink. "I think those were this guy's," Taylor pointed to the gentleman who had been sitting in seat two.
There was some poker taking place as Anthony Zinno raised to 25,000 in middle position amidst all of the commotion. Frank Brannan ripped all in for 84,000 on his left and the action folded back to Zinno. David "ODB" Baker fist pumped as he doubled up in an online event and Zinno gave it some thought before releasing his cards to the muck.

The flop came J♣9♠6♠ with the jack in the window as Wilson took the lead with a pair of jacks. The turn was the 8♠ and Shaffer started to get up from his seat as the K♣ hit the river to give him a pair of kings and a double up.

No waiting until the voting process takes place next June. Put him in now.
That's what Phil Hellmuth and Daniel Negreanu say about getting Michael Mizrachi, who could be less than 24 hours away from winning the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, into the Poker Hall of Fame.
Hellmuth, who feuded with Nick Palma during a WSOP event over an unrelated issue Tuesday night, shared a video on X with his buddy Negreanu discussing "The Grinder's" Hall of Fame credentials.
