Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Alex Foxen
Alex Foxen

Daniel Peraudo raised to 20,000 first to act and was called by Alex Foxen in the cutoff, Christopher Savage in the small blind, and Matthew O'Donnell in the big blind for a four-way pot.

Action folded to Foxen, who bet 80,000 on the 3♣10♠6♥ flop. Savage and O'Donnell folded, but Peraudo called.

Peraudo moved all in for his last couple hundred thousand on the A♣ turn and Foxen snap-called to put him at risk.

Daniel Peraudo: 8♥8♣All in
Alex Foxen: 3♦3♠

Foxen had Peraudo crushed with a set of threes, and the K♠ river changed nothing to score Foxen the knockout.

Nearly 400,000 was in the middle as Tal Herzog and Chris Dowling went to a flop of J♦6♦4♥. Dowling then bet 70,000 from the small blind, and Herzog called in the big blind.

The turn was the 10♠ and Dowling, who only had around 20,000 behind, moved all in. Herzog called, and Dowling turned over Q♠Q♥. Herzog, though, had flopped top set with J♠J♥.

The river was the 8♠ and Herzog took down the big pot to send Dowling to the rail.

Roman Romm opened to 20,000 in early position and only Scott Sterling called in the small blind.

The Q♠7♠2♦ flop checked through to the J♠ turn which saw Sterling lead for 35,000. Romm responded by moving all in for his final 121,000. Sterling confirmed the count before a small tank, but he ultimately called to put Sterling at risk.

Roman Romm: K♠K♦ All in
Scott Sterling: Q♥10♦

Romm was in good shape with his overpair and spade against the top pair of Sterling. However, Romm still needed to fade four outs, which he could not do on the Q♦ river, giving Sterling trip queens to crack Romm's kings and send him to the rail in brutal fashion.

The remaining 888 players are on their second break of Day 4. This will be a 70-minute extended break, with action due to resume at approximately 4.30 p.m.


The blinds will resume at Level 17 with 5,000/10,000 with a big blind ante of 10,000. Here are some of the highlights from the previous few hours of poker:

Brewer Busts the Main Event

Chris Brewer
Chris Brewer

Picking up the action on a K♦9♦5♣9♣ turn, Chris Brewer checked from under the gun to Sam Snead in the hijack. Sweilem bet 80,000, which Brewer check-called.

Sweilem sized up to 225,000 on the 5♥ river. Brewer went deep into the tank, but ultimately check-called for the majority of his stack.

Sweilem showed 9♥6♥ for a full house, and Brewer flung his cards into the muck in frustration.'

On the next deal, it folded to Son Nguyen in the small blind. He open-jammed, and Brewer quickly called off his remaining 75,000.

Chris Brewer: K♠7♥ All in
Son Nguyen: K♦3♣

Brewer had the dominating hand, but he would head to the exit anyway as the 5♠3♥9♥6♥2♣ runout paired up Nguyen's trey.

Felipe Olivieri raised from under the gun to 20,000, and Vinicius Lima called from the next seat. Matthew Gross squeezed to 80,000 from middle position, and Alex Livingston called his stack of 68,000 from the cutoff. Olivieri came along with a call, while Lima folded.

With Livingston all-in, Olivieri checked on the 4♦9♦J♠ flop, and Gross fired a continuation-bet of 135,000. Olivieri check-jammed for about 500,000, and Gross took some time before folding.

Alex Livingston: 10♦10♣ All in
Felipe Olivieri: J♦J♥

Gross had made the right fold as Olivieri had top set, and now Livingston needed running cards to survive.

Livingston picked up a straight draw on the 7♣ turn, but the 6♠ was a brick, and Livingston was sent packing.

Daniel Marcus had raised and Stephan Campbell then three-bet to 50,000. Back on Marcus he four-bet to 110,000 and Campbell eventually five-bet jammed for around 290,000 to get snap-called.

Stephan Campbell: A♣5♣ All in
Daniel Marcus: K♦K♣

The suited ace-rag found no help on the Q♣9♥7♥3♦J♥ board and Campbell bowed out, while big stack Marcus added more chips to his tower.

Mei Stays Frozen as Donets Tanks

With about 300,000 already in the middle preflop, Yinjie Mei fired 91,000 from the cutoff on the 2♠10♣9♣ flop, and Aleksei Donets called on the button.

The 8♠ rolled off on the turn, and Mei moved all in, comfortably covering Donets' remaining 190,000. Faced with a decision for his tournament life, Donets disappeared into the tank.

Seated directly to Mei's left, Donets spent the next several minutes staring him down, trying to pick up the slightest tell. Mei, meanwhile, resembled a statue, barely blinking as he sat motionless.

The tank stretched on and on. Other players at the table wandered off for comfort breaks, returned to find the hand still in progress, took another leisurely stroll around the Paris Ballroom, and came back again to discover Donets was still thinking.

After around nine minutes, the clock was finally called. As the countdown ticked toward zero, Donets reluctantly folded, flashing Q♦Q♠ for an overpair as he did.

Mei quietly slid his cards face down to the dealer, offering no clues as to what he held, before dragging in the massive pot to move to just shy of the one-million-chip mark.

William Jewell raised to 25,000 under the gun, Boris Angelov put in a three-bet on the button, and Jewell quickly moved all in for 140,000. Angelov snap-called.

William Jewell: 10♣9♣ All in
Boris Angelov: A♥K♠

Angelov hit top pair on the A♦J♥3♠ flop, and Jewell was left drawing dead after the 3♦ turn. The river was the 6♣, and the 2024 finalist scored the knockout as he moved up past 1,000,000.

MLB All-Star pitcher Dellin Betances also recently busted.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

With around 150,000 in the middle on a flop of 6♠2♦J♣, Jose Garcia bet 40,000 from the cutoff and Atsushi Kato called in middle position.

The turn was the 3♥ and Garcia bet another 125,000. Kato again called to see the A♣ river, and he then led out for 200,000. Garcia came back with an all-in shove, and Garcia sighed before calling for 140,000 more.

Garcia turned over A♠A♦ for a rivered set, and Kato flung A♥J♦ into the muck as he made his exit.
