Darren Rabinowitz: 10♥10♦

Great flop for Rabinowitz, as it came 10♣2♠9♦, giving him a set. He was 100% on the K♠ turn, then the 9♣ completed the runout.
Level: 22
Blinds: 15,000/30,000

Action picked up on the monotone flop of 7♦3♦9♦ in a hand between Jean-Robert Bellande in the big blind and Valentino Konakchiev in the cutoff.
With 135,000 in the middle, Bellande led out for 50,000, and Konakchiev made the call. The turn landed the 10♦, bringing the fourth diamond on board, and both players checked.
On the J♣ river, Bellande checked, and Konakchiev checked back.
"Two pair," said Bellande as he tabled 10♥9♣ to scoop the pot.
Antonio Vargas raised to 50,000 from early position, Julian Milliard called on the button, and the blinds got out of the way.
Vargas fired out a bet of 35,000 when the flop came 9♦K♣2♥; Milliard called. The 7♣ on the turn did not slow Vargas down, and he fired out another bet of 305,000; Milliard called again.
Both players checked on the 7♦ river, and Vargas tabled 5♠4♠, then Milliard tabled 9♣8♣ to take the pot.
Phil Hellmuth tries to keep it positive on social media. But a bad beat elimination from a 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) event on Wednesday caused the "Poker Brat" to rant.
The 17-time bracelet winner posted a three-minute video shortly after busting on Day 2 from Event #33: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship. In that clip, he expressed frustration two weeks into a long WSOP.
"Folks, for the last few years, I don't really share many negative posts on social media. I understand, I'm always like 'hey, Phil, you have a lot of money. You have fame, you have fortune. You have health, you have everything," Hellmuth said at the start of the video, before going into a rant.
Joe McKeehen raised to 50,000 in middle position, Sachin Joshi flatted in the cutoff, Antonio Vargas called in the small blind, and Matthew Lambrecht defended in the big blind.
The flop came 5♠3♦A♠ and it checked around to Joshi, who bet 50,000. Vargas and Lambrecht called, and McKeehen made it 250,000 to go. Only Vargas and Lambrecht continued to the A♥ turn, where it checked through to the 10♥ river.
Vargas checked, Lambrecht bet 180,000, and McKeehen raised to 765,000, leaving himself with just 5,000 back. Vargas got out of the way and Lambrecht made the call.
McKeehen turned over A♣3♣ for a full house, aces full of treys, and Lambrecht tabled A♦3♥ to chop the pot.
Action was picked up as Kevin Stevens was all in against Samuel Laskowitz.
Kevin Stevens: K♠Q♣
Samuel Laskowitz: 7♥7♦
Not the worst start for Stevens, as he flopped two overcards for a gutshot on 9♠6♣J♦. The 8♣ on the turn saw his tournament life nearly over, but 10♥ on the river gave him the straight and he scooped the pot.
Valentino Konakchiev raised to 50,000 in the hijack and Stanislav Barshak three-bet to 110,000 in the cutoff. Konakchiev then four-bet jammed for 510,000 total and Barshak called for slightly less to put himself at risk.
Stanislav Barshak: Q♣Q♦
Valentino Konakchiev: A♠Q♥
The flop came 3♦4♥6♥ with Barshak's queens still in the lead. Konakchiev picked up additional outs with a flush draw on the 2♥ turn, and got there on the A♥ river to send Barshak packing.
Matthew Lambrecht raised in early position to 50,000, Sachin Joshi called in the small blind, and Chih Fan called in the big blind.
Action checked on a flop of J♦Q♦5♠, then the K♠ on the turn saw Joshi lead for 50,000. Fan folded and Lambrecht made the call.
The J♠ on the river slowed Joshi down, and he checked. Lambrecht bet 85,000, and to his surprise, he got jammed on by Joshi. Lambrecht shook his head, threw his hands in the air, and mucked his cards.
