Hijack Gus Hansen and Todd Brunson in the small blind capped the betting preflop, meaning they had each put in five bets. Brunson then bet the 9A8 flop, and Hansen quickly tossed in a call.

Brunson kept firing on the K turn. Hansen took a bit longer this time, hitting the tank before finding a fold.

$25K Heads-Up Bracket Sets Up Potential Negreanu-Mizrachi Semifinal

The Round of 16 brackets are out for $25,000 Heads-Up Championship, and while Daniel Negreanu and Michael Mizrachi won't face each other in the Round of 16, the dream matchup remains very much alive.

The two GGPoker ambassadors landed on the opposite sides of the bracket on Sunday afternoon, meaning they could meet in Monday's semifinals if both can survive a gauntlet of tough opponents.

It would be one of the marquee clashes of the 2026 World Series of Poker. Negreanu is still one of poker's biggest stars and has already generated headlines this week after announcing that he and wife Amanda are expecting their first child.

Mizrachi, meanwhile, arrived in Las Vegas as the hottest name in the game following his historic 2025 WSOP Main Event victory and subsequent induction into the Poker Hall of Fame.

Yu Fills Up Against Kabrhel

Level 12 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Ben Yu raised in the hijack, Martin Kabrhel three-bet in the big blind, and Yu called.

The flop came AQ2 and Kabrhel bet. Yu called, and the 3 fell on the turn. Kabrhel then bet again, and Yu called.

Kabrhel checked the A river and Yu bet. Kabrhel called, and Yu turned over AKQ7 for a full house.

"Is this anything?" Kabrhel asked, turning over 52.

"That's not even a good hand. Shaun Deeb told me you should play ace-deuce-three," Kabrhel added, mucking AK as Yu took down the pot.

Rheem Running Up a Stack

Level 12 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Yuval Bronshtein was under the gun and raised. Freddy Deeb called in the cutoff, and James Chen and Chino Rheem followed suit in the blinds.

After two checks, Bronshtein bet the 968 flop. Deeb then raised, Chen folded, and Rheem and Bronshtein both called.

The J turn checked through to the K river, where Cheem led out. He received two quick folds, dragging the pot uncontested.
