2025 World Series of Poker
Chuanshu Chen opened to 25,000 from under the gun and Daniel Lowery called from the small blind.
The players saw a 4♦6♠7♥ flop and checked to a 9♠ turn.
Lowery checked and Chen bet 35,000. Lowery made the call, taking the players to the 7♣ river.
Lowery check-called again after Chen bet 100,000.
Chen showed A♥9♣ and Lowery had 10♣9♦. Both had two-pair, but Chen took the pot with the ace kicker.
Raj Vohra raised to 27,000 from early position and was called by Ira Friedman in middle position.
The dealer rolled out a Q♦Q♣7♦ flop and action checked through.
The turn card was the 5♣, Vohra bet 23,000 before Friedman fired in a raise to 55,000. Vohra contemplated his options before ultimately deciding on a fold.
Kathy Liebert min-raised from middle position, and James Frank then went all in for 52,000. Liebert made the call.
James Frank: A♦K♥
Kathy Liebert: 7♦7♣
Liebert never broke a sweat on the 5♣5♦9♠9♦10♣ runout, and sent Frank away with a mincash.
Kathy Liebert began the action with a raise to 24,000 from the hijack. Liebert was called by Craig Paisley in the cutoff, and James Frank came along with a call from the big blind.
Frank checked the 5♠4♠9♣ flop and Liebert continued for 20,000. Paisley followed with a call, and Frank folded.
The 5♦ turn did not slow Liebert down who opted to bet 60,000. Paisley folded and Liebert dragged in the chips.
Paul Snead opened from the hijack to 25,000, Chip Jett three-bet to 85,000 on the button.
Snead took around a minute before four-betting to 200,000.
Jett took some time before throwing his cards into the muck, giving over a stack to Snead.
Level: 18
Blinds: 6,000/12,000
Ante: 12,000
Tom Thomas raised to 22,000 from late position, and received calls from cutoff Mark Seif, button Julio Belluscio, and big blind Scott Eskenazi.
He carried on with a continuation-bet of 50,000 after the flop came down 2♠10♦7♥. Belluscio and Eskenazi called again, as Seif got out of the way. The turn 5♠ checked through, as did the river 9♥ and Eskanazi showed 10♥4♥ to scoop in a sizeable pot, as the other players mucked.
From middle position, Jeffrey Kimber found himself all in for his remaining 95,000. Brian Roelke opted to just flat the shove, allowing big blind Anthony March to shove his stack for 245,000. This bet completely put Roelke to the test, as he asked, "What are you doing to me, Anthony?" before being reminded that table talk wasn't allowed in multi-way pots. He ended up folding J♠J♣ face up, and saw that he'd got rid of the best hand.
Jeffrey Kimber: K♥Q♥
Anthony March: A♦Q♦
Kimber couldn't find his king as the board ran out 10♣6♣10♦3♠Q♠ as he hit the rail, and Roelke was left feeling relieved, as he was a call away from having the same fate. "Good fold," a tablemate said to him.
