2026 World Series of Poker
Gregor Sverko raised under the gun to 40,000 with Arsenii Karmatckii calling in the hijack and Jakob Miegel defending from the big blind.
The dealer spread the 8♠K♠7♦ flop and the action checked to Karmatckii. Karmatckii bet out for 75,000, which was enough to get folds from both of his opponents.
Action was picked up with Todd Ivens and Michael Wilklow all in from middle position and the big blind respectively, with Ivens the covering stack.
Michael Wilklow: A♣7♣
Todd Ivens: K♠8♠
Neither player could find any sort of connection on the Q♥2♦5♥6♥4♦ runout, meaning that Wilklow's ace-high remained in the lead, and Ivens passed over the chips
Action was picked up as Alexis Cruz Martinez and Hannes Jeschka were all in against Vadzim Lipauka.
Hannes Jeschka: A♥Q♣
Alexis Cruz Martinez: A♠K♠
Vadzim Lipauka: K♦8♠
The flop came 7♣3♠5♥, and Jeschka, who had Martinez covered by only 150,000 chips, needed to avoid King or an Eight to survive. The poker gods were against him as the K♥ hit the turn and the 10♦ on the river sealed his elimination from the tournament.
The biggest bounty of $250,000 has just been pulled by Gregor Sverko, drawing a lot of disappointed groans from the remaining players as the top prize disappeared from the board.
However, plenty of big prizes remain in play, with three $100,000 bounties and four $50,000 bounties still waiting to be claimed.
Todd Ivens raised from under the gun with Julien Sitbon calling on the button and Fahredin Mustafov defending from the big blind.
The action checked to Sitbon on the 7♠5♥7♦ flop, and he bet 25,000. Mustafov folded, but Ivens called.
A 4♣ hit the turn and Ivens check-called a bet of 145,000 from Sitbon.
Ivens checked for a final time on the K♦ river, and Sitbon fired 335,000. Ivens gave it some thought before deciding a fold was best, surrendering the pot to Sitbon.
Level: 20
Blinds: 10,000/20,000
Ante: 20,000
Action was picked up on a board of Q♦Q♥K♠A♠. Jordan Glazer had a bet of 30,000 in front of him, and Joshua Mccully had moved all in for 65,000. Michel Molenaar, sat inbetween the two, made the call, and Glazer called, too.
The 6♥ river checked through, and at risk Joshua Mccully tabled Q♣4♣ He was beaten by both opponents, but Glazer's J♥10♥ would be the hand to take down the pot, with Molenaar's A♣J♣ no good either.
Alexis Cruz Martinez raised to 30,000 from middle position, Craig Mason called in the cutoff and Vadzim Lipauka went all in for 205,000 from the small blind. Martinez folded but Mason made the call.
Vadzim Lipauka: K♠K♣
Craig Mason: Q♣10♣
The board ran out 6♥4♠3♦3♠J♥, and Lipauka doubled.
Craig Mason moved all in for 195,000 under the gun. Action folded to cutoff Emilien Pitavy, who reshoved, and everbody else folded.
Craig Mason: A♥J♣
Emilien Pitavy: K♥K♦
The 10♥5♦7♠ flop was good for Pitavy, until he saw a brutal A♠ on the turn. The 8♦ river secured a double for Mason, as Pitavy handed over the chips and missed out on a bounty.
