2026 World Series of Poker
With 12 minutes left in the level, tournament officials have instructed their dealers to deal two more hands before sending players on a break.
This is presumably in anticipation of a slew of players jumping in with late registration due to close, with the tournament also potentially undergoing a full redraw.
Stay tuned to PokerNews for more details.
Eelis Parssinen opened to 45,000 and was called by both Byron Kaverman and Santhosh Suvarna in the blinds.
The trio checked the K♥9♦5♦3♠ flop and turn and the river was the A♦. Kaverman checked and Suvarna bet 65,000.
Parssinen folded and was quickly followed by Kaverman, with Suvarna taking down the pot.
Michael Moncek was getting to his feet having had his pocket 4♠4♣ cracked by the A♥K♣ of Batmunkh Unubukh.
The board read Q♣J♣3♠K♥Q♦ with Unubukh turning top pair to send Texas Mike to the rail.
The action was joined as Santhosh Suvarna was all-in from middle position for 220,000, and at risk versus Matthias Eibinger in the hijack.
Santhosh Suvarna: 10♥10♣
Matthias Eibinger: AxJx
Eibinger took the lead on the 4♥Q♠J♣ flop, and the 4♦ turn left Suvarna with just two outs. The 10♠ came to his rescue, though, seeing him survive with a double-up.
Eelis Parssinen limped in the small blind. Thomas Muehloecker raised to 65,000. Parssinen called.
The pair checked the K♣10♠2♥ flop and the 8♠ turn. The river was the 3♦, and Parssinen bet 60,000.
Muehloecker used one time bank before folding.
Mikita Badziakouski was spotted getting out of his seat after being eliminated.
He had held QxQx against the A♠A♣ of Biao Ding, losing out on the 10♦J♣8♥5♣8♦ flop.
Yang Wang opened to 40,000 in middle position, and faced a three-bet to 120,000 from Alex Kulev on the button. Ren Lin committed his short stack of 40,000 from the big blind, and Wang folded.
Ren Lin: 3♣2♣
Alex Kulev: K♠K♣
Far from a fair fight, Lin did find some hope on the 2♠J♣5♦ flop, alas, the Q♠ turn and 6♦ river offered no further improvement.
Fabian Gumz opened to 40,000. Jesse Lonis three-bet all in for 380,000. He was followed into the pot by a shove from Colin Robinson for 690,000 and a shove from Brock Wilson for his last 80,000.
Gumz folded.
Brock Wilson: 10♦8♦
Jesse Lonis: J♠J♦
Colin Robinson: K♥K♣
The board came A♦4♥3♦6♣5♠ with Wilson narrowly missing out on diamonds to hit the rail, along with Lonis who immediately jumped back in.
