Kornuth Requests a Smile

Level 12 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Artur Martirosian was on the button, calculating how much to raise, when Chance Kornuth was in the big blind and said jokingly, "What, no smile?" Martirosian was all business and raised to 25,000. Kornuth called from the big blind.

The flop arrived with 52K, and Kornuth checked to the preflop raiser, who bet 40,000. Kornuth stayed to see the turn.

Both players went on defense and checked the turn 10, and the river Q.

Kornuth was slightly optimistic that his pair of sevens 77 were good, but Martirosian flipped over 109 for the better pair.

Boris Kolev
Boris Kolev

Sam Soverel raised to 40,000 from the cutoff, only to face a three-bet all-in from Boris Kolev on the button.

Soverel went deep into the tank before he made the call to put Kolev at risk.

Boris Kolev: AQ All in
Sam Soverel: A8

Some danger for Kolev on the 8QJ flop, but when the 7 turn and K river bricked out, he was pushed the pot for a double-up.

Mike Meskin moved all in from the cutoff for 220,000, and Frank Funaro moved all in as well with the bigger stack from the button; everyone else folded.

Mike Meskin: AK All in
Frank Funaro: AQ

During the dealing of the board, Meskin shouted, "Keep it clean," and then "Ship it."

The board was A2765, and Meskin's king-kicker played with his pair of aces.

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

Level 11 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu, 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.
