Luske Left With Little

Mark Gregorich was all in for 300,000. Marcel Luske called with a tad less.

Marcel Luske: A♦K♦K♠8♠2♠All in
Mark Gregorich: A♣10♦9♣4♣2♥

On the runout of 4♠J♦3♦4♦9♠, Luske turned an ace-high diamond flush, but Gregorich was rewarded with a runner-runner full house with fours over nines to take the pot, leaving Luske with little ammunition.

Martinez Rivers Huge Double

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Action was picked up in a bloated pot between Andrew Bakota in middle position and Andrew Bakota in the hijack. Both players got all their chips in on a 10♦K♦8♣ flop, with Bakota the covering stack.

Sergio Martinez: A♦9♦4♣3♦2♣ All in
Andrew Bakota: A♣K♠9♣5♥2♦

Martinez was relying on diamonds or a backdoor low to stay alive, with the J♣ turn confining him to just eight outs. Bakota rivered Broadway, but it was the Q♦ which secured a double for his opponent.

Biedak Saved By the River

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Christopher Alcindor raised from the cutoff to 40,000. Joshua Biedak reraised to 210,000 from the small blind.

Big blind Song Wang folded. Alcindor made the call.

The flop hit 4♥10♦7♥.

Biedak checked. Alcindor bet 500,000 chips, which more than covered the 280,000 Biedak was holding. Biedack made the call, putting his tournament in jeopardy.

Joshua Biedak: A♠9♠7♦3♥2♣All in
Christopher Alcindor: J♣10♠10♣7♣3♦

Alcindor had flopped top set with three tens. Biedak had the nut-low draw and a pair of sevens.

Nothing changed when the J♦ hit on the turn, but the A♥ river kept Biedak alive, giving him half the pot with the nut-low.

The action folded to John Holley, who raised to 100,000 on the button. Dimitrios Melissourgos quickly raised it to 320,000.

Holley made the call.

The flop came 7♦5♦6♣ and Melissourgos wasted little in going all in for the remainder of his roughly 600,000 chips.

Holley wasted little time in folding.

20 Years Later, Daniel Negreanu is Still Getting Coolered by Gus Hansen

Daniel Negreanu, Gus Hansen

20 years after that hand on High Stakes Poker, Daniel Negreanu is still getting coolered by Gus Hansen, and this time at the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP).

Playing Day 1 of the $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship, the two poker legends faced off with monsters that saw Hansen rake in a pot against Negreanu with a better full house.

However, unlike that iconic encounter from Season 2 of High Stakes Poker in 2006 (in which the turn card that day gave Hansen quads over Negreanu's boat), on this occasion, Kid Poker had clearly learned his lesson from two decades ago, losing only a small pot instead of going broke after telling the Dane, "Jeez, I'm sorry I didn't raise you!" after the hands were tabled.
