With 42,500 in the pot, and a board dealt to a 8♣9♠7♠Q♥9♣ river, Benjamin Eilers bet 13,000 from the big blind. Daniel Bedson responded with a raise to 35,000 from the cutoff, but the betting wasn't done there. Eilers put in a river three-bet to 125,000, which sent Bedson deep into the tank.
"I thought I was value raising", Bedson shared, before apologising to the table for the time he was taking.
After another minute had passed, Bedson surrendered the pot and returned his cards to the dealer.
Daniel Negreanu has cashed for $464,521 this summer, but that number only tells part of the story. More than halfway through the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP), and after more than a million in buy-ins, the Poker Hall of Famer and seven-time bracelet winner is stuck quite a hefty chunk of change.
In his latest vlog, Negreanu shared his results for the summer so far, showing him to be down $571,729. When added with his $464,521 in cashes, it is clear that he had fired over a million in buy-ins. But, given his proven results for decades, there's plenty of time to turn it around.
Four players went to a flop of Q♦2♥3♥ where Diego Romero bet 8,000 from the cutoff. Action folded around to Jack Moore in the big blind, and he raised to 22,000. Romero then came back with a reraise to 75,000, and Moore called all in.
Jack Moore: K♥Q♣6♦5♥
Diego Romero: Q♠Q♥9♦7♣
Moore had top pair and a straight draw, while Romero showed down top set. The turn was the 5♦, while the 8♠ river was no help to Moore and he was sent to the rail.
Michael Parisi raised to 7,500 in the hijack, and quickly faced a three-bet to 26,000 by Michael Mizrachi in the cutoff. Christopher Kromidias called on the button, but Parisi folded.
Mizrachi continued for 30,000 on the 5♣9♥J♣ flop, which Kromidias called before the K♠ turn checked through.
When Mizrachi checked again on the Q♥ river, Kromidias snap-bet the pot and put 125,500 into the middle.
"You're shaking", Mizrachi said to Kromidias, while he contemplated the situation.
Ultimately, Mizrachi folded, and Kromidias showed him his A♥J♦10♣6♥, for the nut straight.
With around 40,000 in the pot on a flop of A♠8♥8♣, Grzegorz Derkowski bet 8,000 from under the gun and Gruffudd Pugh-Jones called in the hijack.
Derkowski moved all in for 30,000 on the 9♣ turn, and Pugh-Jones snap-called. Derkowski showed K♣K♠10♠7♥, while Pugh-Jones had A♣9♠4♥3♣ for two pair.
The river was the A♥ and Pugh-Jones improved to a full house to take the pot and send Derkowski to the rail.
Jutin "BoostedJ" Smith lmped from the cutoff, Rafael Mota limped on the button, Daniel Smuskovics limped from the small blind, and Zachary Peay checked his option in the big blind.
Action checked to Smith, who bet pot on the 7♥A♠10♠ flop. Mota and Smuskovics folded, but Peay raised to put Smith all in for his remaining stack. Smith called and a showdown was held.
Justin Smith: A♥9♠8♥2♠
Zachary Peay: K♠K♣9♥3♠
Smith was well ahead and remained ahead on the 7♣ turn; however, the Q♠ river filled Peay's dominating flush draw and Smith was eliminated.
Michael Parisi raised to 8,500 in early position and Michael Mizrachi called in middle position. Christopher Kromidias then three-bet to 32,500 in the hijack, and Parisi moved all in for 46,500. Both Mizrachi and Kromidias called.
The flop came 2♠7♠6♠ and Kromidias bet 50,000, chasing Mizrachi from the pot.
Michael Parisi: A♥K♠Q♠4♥
Christopher Kromidias: K♥K♣Q♣6♥
Parisi had flopped a flush to take the lead over Kromidias' kings, and the board ran out 8♣4♦ to secure him the triple up.
With a A♣4♠2♠ flop face up on the felt, and 27,000 in the pot, the action was on Yuval Bronshtein in the hijack, who potted it for 27,000.
Conrad Fourie then raised to 114,000 on the button, before James Chen moved all in from the small blind, having both players covered. Bronshtein called, putting his 145,500 into the pot, and Fourie did the same, putting 212,000 into the middle.
Yuval Bronshtein: A♦K♣5♠3♣
Conrad Fourie: A♠K♠9♣2♦
James Chen: 5♥5♦3♦2♥
Two players had flopped the nut straight, but were both left drawing dead to Fourie's flush when the J♠ hit the turn.
The Q♠ completed the board, and as Fourie pulled in the huge pot, Bronshtein joined the rail.
