2026 World Series of Poker
Daniel Negreanu moved all in for 59,000 on the button and Alex Foxen called in the big blind. "We're in trouble. We need two. He probably has garbage," Negreanu said as he drew two, while Foxen stood pat.
Daniel Negreanu: 4x3x2x
Alex Foxen: 10x9x8x7x2x
Negreanu caught an 8x on his first card. "Three across club," he said as he peeled his last card, flipping over the 7x to make an 8-7 and secure the double up.
"I'm so good at this," he said.
Jeff Platt then arrived at the table to interview Foxen. "I decided to gamble. I wanted a story to tell my kids someday about busting Daniel Negreanu," Foxen told Platt.
Chad Eveslage raised under the gun to 20,000 with Ryutaro Suzuki calling from the hijack and John Cynn coming along out of the big blind.
Cynn drew two, while Eveslage and Suzuki drew one.
After Cynn checked, Eveslage bet 40,000 and got two folds from his opponents.
Per Hildebrand raised to 25,000 in the hijack and Dennis Weiss called in the cutoff.
Both players drew one, and Hildebrand checked to Weiss. He then bet 105,000. "Why so much?" Hildebrand asked as he took about 30 seconds before calling.
"Good call," Weiss said, revealing a pair of nines, while Hildebrand turned over 10x6x5x3x2x to win the pot.
At the same table, Dan Shak has built his stack up close to 1,000,000.
Joao Vieira moved all in for 103,000 under the gun and John Monnette called in the cutoff. Both players stood pat.
Joao Vieira: 9x8x7x3x2x
John Monnette: 9x7x5x4x2x
"I wanted to break, but he had a look on his face like he had a really tough decision," Vieira said as his 9-8-7 came up short against Monnette's 9-7-5 and he was sent to the rail.
Frank Kassela and Ryan Riess are the newest exits from the tournament.
John Monnette raised to 20,000 in the hijack and was called by Ryan Riess and Joao Vieira in the blinds.
Monnette and Riess drew one, while Vieira drew two. Monnette then bet 55,000 and Riess folded, while Vieira tanked for a few minutes before calling.
Monnette showed 9x8x5x3x2x, and Vieira mucked.
John Monnette raised to 20,000 from the hijack and Matthew Vengrin jammed for 171,000 from the cutoff. Monnette called and stood pat.
Vengrin thought about it, took a sip of his water, and patted himself.
Monnette showed an 8-7 with 8x7x6x5x2x, which was good to win the pot and bust Vengrin, who held 9x7x5x4x2x.
Alex Foxen raised to 20,000 in middle position and Yueqi Zhu called for 19,000 on the button. Daniel Negreanu then reshoved in the big blind, and Foxen folded.
Negreanu patted with 8x7x4x3x2x, and Zhu mucked 9x6x5x4x2x as he headed to the rail.
Matthew Schreiber and Matthew Valeo were seen leaving their seats and were the first two to hit the rail after the bubble burst
