River Hits Hipperson

Erick Torres
Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Rocky Paradise limped from middle position before David Hipperson announced pot for 135,000 from the hijack.

Paradise shoved, and Hipperson called to put himself at risk for 275,000.

David Hipperson: A♦K♠Q♥3♦All in
Rocky Paradise: A♠A♣K♠2♣

The flop did not change the standings when it came 5♦3♠J♥ as Paradise still held the edge.

The 9♣ turn gave Hipperson some straight outs, but the river gave Hipperson the pot when the K♥ peeled to give Hipperson a two pair to secure the double.

A couple hours into the Hustler Casino Live stream at the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) on Friday, a regular on the show mysteriously disappeared from the game.

Britney, the player in question, had her chips removed from the table out of nowhere. She was on the stream one minute and then gone the next, without any announcement or explanation from commentators Alan Keating and Brent Hanks. But the stream went to a promotional graphic for a minute, then returned to action without Britney in the game.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Michael Rodrigues opened to 60,000 under the gun and was called by Robert Nehorayan on the button to see a flop.

The flop came 4♠Q♥3♥ and action went check, check. The turn J♣ fell and Rodrigues restarted the action with a bet of 90,000. Nehorayan came along to see what the last card may bring.

The dealer peeled a 6♥ river. Rodrigues checked and Nehorayan took a few seconds before checking after.

Rodrigues turned over 10♦10♣Q♣J♦ for queens and jacks, prompting Nehorayan to throw his hand in the muck pile.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Frederic Normand and Jack Moore got entangled in a hand with chips going in on each street that created a large pot on a board that read 5♣K♠4♠4♣5♠.

Normand and Moore got the chips in with Moore at risk for 790,000.

Normand showed K♣Q♥J♣10♦ for two pair, but it was no good as Moore tabled A♠K♥9♥3♥ for a better kicker to take down a pot that shot Moore over a million in chips.

There were over 500,000 already in the pot on a complete board that read 3♣2♥9♥8♠10♠.

Michael Rodrigues led out with a bet before Dennis Weiss shoved in response. Rodrigues made the call to put Weiss at risk.

Weiss showed A♣10♥7♦6♦ for a straight and a six high low. Rodrigues tabled 7♦5♣4♣6♥ for the same straight, but with a five high low to take three-quarters of the pot from Weiss.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Play was already under way with Jordan Joeckel in the cutoff going all-in for 375,000 in response to two all-in jams from Jean Laurent in the big blind and Ryan Hoenig under the gun. All three players tabled their hands and waited for the dealer to spread the board.

Jordan Joeckel: A♦9♦9♣2♦ All in
Jean Laurent: A♠A♥7♠5♦ All in
Ryan Hoenig: A♣K♥J♣7♥

The dealer displayed 8♥6♥5♠Q♣2♥ evoking a flustered comment directed at Hoenig, "What? You have three quarters!?" Hoenig won the high for a rivered flush and split the low with Laurent.

Joeckel, excluded from the party, left the table and headed towards the payout counter.
