"A Very Fortunate" Situation For Tsonev

Level 16

Razz

Action was picked up on fourth street in a pot between Nick Guagenti and Simeon Tsonev.

Simeon Tsonev: 5x4x/7xQxKxJx/Xx All in
Nick Guagenti: 9x5x/4x5x9xJx/Xx

Guagenti bet on fourth street to see Tsonev call.

On fifth street Guagenti bet again and Tsonev called to put himself all-in.

"That's a very fortunate situation," Guagenti said as he showed that he had paired both of his hole cards. On seventh street, Guagenti peeled a 2x to give him a jack-nine, but it was no good against Tsonev who peeled an 8x to make a jack-eight.

Level 16

2-7 Triple Draw

Danny Tang raised on the button, Benny Glaser three-bet from the big blind, and Tang called.

Glaser drew one and bet while Tang drew two and called.

On the second draw, Glaser patted and Tang took two again. Glaser bet and Tang called after some deliberation.

Tang took one on the end with just 2,500 behind. Glaser bet a final time to ask for the rest of Tang's chips, putting him into a brutal spot getting nearly forty-to-one.

"Alright, take it," Tang lamented as he flicked the final chips.

Danny Tang: 9x8x6x3x2x All in
Benny Glaser: 7x6x5x3x2x

Glaser made number three right away and Tang could not get away on the end getting such a good price, and he was eliminated.

Chiu had a made ten with an eight draw against the nine draw of Shirasawa. Chiu caught a 4x to make his eight, and Shirasawa a 9x to leave him drawing dead, and Chiu doubled.

The next hand picked up on sixth with a large three-way pot between Frank Brannan, Shirasawa, and Brett Richey, with a bet going in from each player on all prior streets.

Brett Richey: XxXx / 8x5x4xAx / Xx

Shirasawa led on sixth, Richey called, and Brannan folded.

On seventh, Shirasawa led a final time before Richey raised, and Shirasawa reluctantly called after a minute's tank. Richey revealed 5x3x2x in the hole for a wheel, and he collected a big one while Shirasawa was left with under two big bets.

"Do You Want Me to Go First?" as Vengrin Survives

Level 15

2-7 Triple Draw

Matt Vengrin from was already all-in from the button, at risk against Yannick Jobin in the cutoff with 40,000 in the middle.

On the final draw, both players drew one and the hands were tabled.

Matt Vengrin: 8x6x5x2x All in
Yannick Jobin: 9x7x4x2x

"Do you want me to go first?" Jobin inquired from Vengrin.

"Of course!" Vengrin replied, being jokingly offended by the question.

Jobin turned over a queen, and Vengrin slowly peeled a final card, finding a diamond paint card. He was a two to one favorite to survive, and he found the Q to make a better queen than Jobin, and he secured the double.

The 2026 World Series of Poker is winding down, but Daniel Negreanu isn't finished yet.

Just weeks after winning his eighth WSOP bracelet, the poker icon is back at another final table. Negreanu — who also announced in May that he and his wife Amanda are expecting their first child later this year — is among the final nine in Event #90: $50,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold'em, with his sights set on bracelet No. 9 and a second title of the summer.

Victory would earn Negreanu the $2,276,691 top prize and could also shake up the WSOP Player of the Year race heading into the final stretch of the series.
