Jesse Lonis raised to 280,000 in middle position, and Stephen Hubbard called on the button. The blinds folded.
Both players checked on the J♥10♠3♦ flop. Hubbard fired out a bet of 250,000 when the 6♣ hit the turn. Lonis check-called.
Lonis decided to lead on the Q♥ river, and Hubbard called. Lonis tabled the nut-straight with A♠K♠J♣4♦ and scooped the pot.
Jesse Lonis raised on the button to 280,000, Yang Wang three-bet to 920,000, and Lonis called.
Both players checked as the flop came 9♦2♥10♣. When the 5♥ hit the turn, Wang asked, "How much is in the pot?"
The dealer responded with "two million."
Wang announced, "pot," but before he finished counting out the chips, Lonis had put him all in for an extra 950,000.
Wang went deep into the tank, clearly pained by the situation. After a long time thinking, Wang eventually folded.
Stephen Hubbard limped from early position, and Dylan Weisman completed the small blind. Jesse Lonis checked his option.
The flop came 7♦3♠J♠, and Weisman checked to Lonis, who fired out for 240,000. Hubbard made the call, and Weisman got out of the way.
On the 9♥ turn, Lonis fired out a second bullet of 800,000, and Hubbard made the call.
The dealer peeled off the 4♥ as the river, and Lonis checked it over to Hubbard, who went into the tank before he fired out a river bet of 1,200,000, which in turn sent Lonis deep into the tank. He cut out the call numerous times and contemplated his move before he made the call, but mucked his cards on seeing Hubbard table A♠10♥9♦9♠ for a turned set.
Action was picked up as Jarred Graham was all in against Jesse Lonis on a flop of 5♥8♥2♦
Jarred Graham: 9♥6♠5♦5♠
Jesse Lonis: Q♠9♣8♦8♣
Both players improved to a full on the 2♠ turn, but no luck for Graham as the 9♠ eliminated him from the tournament.
Heads up to the flop of Q♥4♣J♣ with close to 400,000 in the pot, Jesse Lonis led out from early position for 225,000, only to face a pot raise from Justin Scott. Lonis instantly countered with a re-pot to put Scott all in, who snap-called.
Justin Scott: A♣Q♦10♠3♥
Jesse Lonis: K♠10♥9♣2♣
No help for Lonis on the 6♥ turn nor the 7♦ river, and Scott's one pair held to send him the pot for a double-up.
Evan Krentzman raised in early position to 200,000, Yang Wang called on the button and the blinds folded.
Krentzman announced pot for 600,000 when the flop came 2♥9♦7♣, Wang went all in for 800,000 more. Krentzman called.
Yang Wang: 9♠9♥6♠6♦
Evan Krentzman: A♦8♦6♥J♥
Wang's set of nines held as the board ran out K♣Q♦, and he doubled.

Just 7 players remain in Event #5: $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha at the 2026 World Series of Poker. The 716 field which generated a prize pool of $3,293,600, will return at 12 p.m. for the final day here at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, with a WSOP gold bracelet and the $595,388 top prize still up for the taking.

Renowned as one of the best Pot-Limit Omaha players in the world, Dylan Weisman has nearly $10,000,000 in live earnings. Weisman will return with 2,800,000 chips and will be seeking his third WSOP gold bracelet.
