Omer Rotman checked the 10♠9♥Q♠ flop from middle position, and Sebastien Martineau checked behind from a few seats over.
The 3♦ on the turn brought another check from Rotman, but Martineau bet 2,000. Rotman check-raised to 7,000, and Martineau quickly called.
The 7♣ completed the board, and Rotman fired 15,000. Martineau stuck in the call and was shown 3♠3♣ for a turned set. Martineau mucked, and Rotman's stack grew to around 200,000.
Many poker fans on social media have expressed confusion over ESPN charging for livestreaming service of the 2026 WSOP Main Event in the United States.
The mainstream sports network has returned to the WSOP broadcast streets for the first time since COVID, and some assumed all Main Event coverage would be free. But that isn't the case, as we reported earlier this week when the livestream and television schedule was released.
Jonathan Finn was in the big blind and in a hand with Cassio Kienen who was in middle position. Action was picked up after the flop as the pot stood at 13,500 and the 5♣K♠4♥ board was already showing.
Kienen had the all in triangle in front of them, but he covered Finn's remaining 12,300 stack, that wasn't already committed to the pot. Finn called the pair were left to head to showdown.
Jonathan Finn: K♣K♥
Cassio Kienen: K♦Q♠
Finn was ahead having flopped a set, and there was no change on the 8♣ turn or 2♥ river. Both left the hand sitting on around the same stack size which was just short half starting stack size.
Another player at the table remarked "You are lucky he had a king!"
Three ways to the 8♣7♠6♥J♣ turn, Steven Sarmiento bet 10,000 and Michael Wisnoskie was the only caller as Mathew Moore got out of the way. They checked the A♠ on the river and Sarmiento tabled his 9♣9♠, which Wisnoskie had beat with the 7♦7♣ for a set of sevens.
Brooks Linkowski opened to 1,200 from middle position and was called by Terence Clee in the hijack, Abbas Moradi in the small blind, and Jagdeep Bal in the big blind.
The A♦J♣10♥ flop checked through to the 4♣ turn which saw Bal bet 4,000 from the big blind. Linkowski quickly got out of the way but both Clee and Moradi called.
The 3♣ river would then check through as Moradi tabled 9♣8♣ for a flush which was the winner as he collected the pot.
Pablo Iparraguirre checked the J♦10♥10♠9♠ flop over to Steven Nakasako, who bet 4,000 into the pot of 7,000. Iparraguirre then raised to 10,000, and Nakasako called after some deliberation.
Iparraguirre quickly moved all in for 22,000 on the subsequent A♠ river, seeing his opponent quickly fold to take the pot.
Clemen Deng squeezed to 9,000 preflop and was called by Conor O'Rourke to see a flop of 7♦6♣3♠, on which Deng continued for 6,000 and O'Rourke called. The same action repeated on the K♣ turn for 8,500 and Deng then emptied the clip with a near all-in when he bet the 7♣ river for 26,500. O'Rourke called and mucked when he was shown the A♣4♣ for the ace-high flush.
James Tsou was in the big blind and in a pot with Stefan Nemetz who was sitting in an early position.
The Q♣A♣K♦ flop and 8♦ turn were already face up, and the pair were playing with a pot of around 12,500.
Tsou had bet 8,000 on the turn and Nemetz tank-called to see the 7♥ river. Tsou took no time in moving all in, covering Nementz's last 17,400 chips.
Nemetz sat back on his chair and sighed. He took around 30 seconds to give up on his hand and allow Tsou to take the pot without getting to showdown.
