Grosshanten Takes Time, Chips

Jerome Solomon
Jerome Solomon
Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The hand was picked up on the river with the board reading 2♥10♠5♥A♠K♠ and Xiang Zou having raised all in for 110,000 on the button.

Kyle Grosshanten struggled to make a decision on whether to call. After some time, he threw a slew of chips forward.

Xiang Zou: A♣4♣All in
Kyle Grosshanten: Q♣J♥

Grosshanten's hesitation was jokingly mocked by the table, as he had a nice runout to the Broadway straight, but feared the possible backdoor flush.

"That wasn't a slow roll, right guys?" he asked his tablemates.

With a player limping in front of her, Adele Allinson raised to 3,600 in late position to see Joey Couden raise to 10,400 in the cutoff. On the button, Rishi Mirpuri raised to 22,300 and only Allinson called.

The flop rolled out K♣Q♥7♥ and Allinson moved all in for 18,500 total, prompting a sigh and a call from Mirpuri.

Rishi Mirpuri: A♥A♣ All in
Adele Allinson: K♥K♦

It was all over on the turn K♠ to give Allinson quad kings and Mirpuri's aces were officially cracked, with the river 9♠ as a mere formality.

Baird Sends Schaeffer Packing

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

James Schaeffer shipped it for his final 11,000 from the hijack. Adam Baird went all-in on the button to isolate before the blinds folded to create a showdown between Schaeffer and Baird with Schaeffer at risk.

James Schaeffer: A♠K♦All in
Adam Baird: 8♣8♥

Schaeffer had a fighting chance to improve and double up, but the flop did not put out any offerings when it came 9♠2♦Q♠ to keep Baird in the lead.

The 5♣ turn, and the 5♥ river completed the board as Schaeffer was sent out of the tournament.

Pavels Spirins moved all in for 18,000 from under the gun and Michael Wolf called in middle position.

Pavels Spirins: 8♦8♣ All in
Michael Wolf: Q♣Q♥

Spirins was dominated by Wolf's queens, and the K♣9♦10♥3♥10♦ board offered no help as he was sent to the rail. "Good luck, guys. Next year," Spirins told his tablemates after the hand.

At the same time at another table, a big pot was brewing between Rusty Farrin and Loai Elayday. Farrin had bet 20,000 from the big blind on a board of 4♥4♠9♣5♠7♣, and Elayday moved all in on the button.

Farrin went deep into the tank, taking more than five minutes before calling for his last 80,000.

Rusty Farrin: Q♣Q♠All in
Loai Elayday: 7♠4♣

Farrin had a pocket pair, but Elayday had flopped trips and filled up on the river to win the pot as Farrin made a quick exit.

"Give me some of that lucky juice," a player from another table told Elayday as he came over to give Elayday a high-five.

Jean Houle raised to 2,500 on the button to see Matt Vengrin three-bet to 8,000 in the small blind and Houle called.

The flop rolled out J♣10♣4♠ and Vengrin bet 8,500. Houle raised to 25,000 and Vengrin moved all in for 41,200 total to see Houle call.

Matt Vengrin: A♣3♣ All in
Jean Houle: K♣Q♦

Vengrin held up on the runout of 6♦2♠ and the ace-high held up for Vengrin to double.

At another table, Antonio Esfandiari was eliminated from the 2026 WSOP Main Event.

Galatola Straightens Zarhi Out

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The hand was picked up after Albert Zarhi four-bet shoved all-in from the hijack. Paul Patouilliart, who three-bet to 10,000 from the cutoff, called. As did Michele Galatola, the original raiser from under the gun.

When the flop hit K♥6♥10♠, Galatola and Patouilliart checked on the side pot. Patouilliart folded after a Galatola bet on the 7♣ turn.

Albert Zarhi: A♠J♠All in
Michele Galatola: 9♦8♦

The hand was already over with Galatola having turned a straight. The 2♣ on the river was meaningless.

Four players went to a flop of 6♥7♥3♥ when Jacques Ortega bet 5,000 from middle position. Only Valerii Klimov called on the button.

Ortega checked the 9♠ turn, and Klimov bet 12,000. Ortega called, and the 8♠ fell on the river. Klimov then bet 25,000, and Ortega, who had around the same amount behind, called all in.

Jacques Ortega: 10♠10♦All in
Valerii Klimov: Q♥10♥

Klimov turned over a flopped flush, while Ortega tossed his straight into the muck as both players stood up to snap a photo of the board before Ortega headed for the exit.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was picked up with Glenn Becker all in for roughly 15,000 against James King.

Becker tabled his hand first, and once King revealed his cards, Becker jokingly said, "You've always got the f****** ace-king," drawing laughter from the rest of the table.

Glenn Becker: K♥Q♦ All in
James King: A♣K♦

The board ran out A♦Q♠K♠5♣10♥, and Becker wished the table good luck before making his exit from the tournament.

Paul Richardson raised to 2,600 under the gun and Nikita Kuznetsov three-bet to 9,000 in middle position. Richardson called, and they went to a flop of 7♣7♦6♣.

Kuznetsov then continued for 10,500, and Richardson called. Both players checked down the 3♦ turn and 5♣ river, and Richardson showed J♦J♣ to win the pot.
