2025 World Series of Poker
Kelvin Crawford raised to 125,000 in early position, Timothy Frasure annoucned all in for 580,000 from the hijack, Andrew Kelsall clicked to 1,000,000 in the cutoff and Raminder Singh said "I can't fold this for 11 big blinds" and moved all in for 465,000. Crawford quickly folded.
Timothy Frasure: Q♣J♣
Raminder Singh: A♣K♦
Andrew Kelsall: K♠K♣
Marc Joseph asked Crawford, "Did you fold an ace?" and Crawford gave a nod as the flop came A♠10♣6♦. The A♦ on the turn locked up the triple-up for Singh, and the 9♥ on the river sealed Frasure’s elimination.
Kelsall turned to Singh and said "you'll win the tournament if you keep cracking Kings."
Mitchell Lehman was on the button and got it all in preflop against the short-stacked Dipanjan Chattopadhyay who was in the big blind.
Dipanjan Chattopadhyay: A♠K♥
Mitchell Lehman: 10♦10♠
The flop came K♠10♣4♣ with Lehman pulling ahead even further by improving to a set of tens. The turn landed the Q♦, keeping Chattopadhyay's hopes alive.
"Don't even do it" said Lehman, sweating the river card.
The 4♠ completed the board and Chattopadhyay's tournament run came to an end.
Michael Holm raised in middle position and Aviel Rubin made the call before Brett Lim decided to shove in the small blind for 995,000. Holm reshoved with slightly more chips and Rubin quickly folded:
Brett Lim: A♦9♦
Michael Holm: A♠J♣
Holm had good hopes to rake the pot but a board 9♥Q♠7♦3♦3♥ showed up, giving a flopped pair of nines to Lim and left Holm with barely more than one big blind.
Heads-up on a flop of 2♥7♣4♣, Zal Irani bet 120,000 from under the gun, Ryan Remmes in the big blind raised all-in for approximately 500,000 and Irani snap-called.
Ryan Remmes: K♣8♣
Zal Irani: A♣A♥
Remmes hit a flush with the J♣, but Irani managed to hit a better flush with the 10♣ river to eliminate Remmes.
Action went heads-up to a flop of K♦A♠9♦ in a hand between Marcello Calabrese in the hijack and Men Nguyen on the button.
With about 350,000 in the pot, Calabrese bet enough to put Nguyen all in, who had 500,000 behind.
After taking some time to think through his decision, Nguyen tossed his cards into the muck saying "I had a flush draw, that's all."
Level: 25
Blinds: 25,000/50,000
Ante: 50,000
Roger Mcdow raised from late position to 95,000, David Skillin three-bet all in for 195,000, and John Phan was in the cutoff and four-bet to 320,000. Mcdow immediately moved all in for 1,345,000. Phan tanked for quite a few minutes and was mulling it over extremely hard, but eventually made the fold to save his tournament life and showed ace-king after the cards were revealed.
David Skillin: Q♦J♣
Roger Mcdow: A♠K♦
The board went K♥6♣9♠2♦3♦, and Mcdow won with his pair of kings. Phan regretted his decision, even though it would have been a chopped pot.
Scott Lazar commented jokingly, "You took so long, I'm old enough to make the Super Seniors now".
Elan Lepovic raised to 90,000 in middle position and Nate Castro three-bet shoved for 540,000 in the hijack to put himself at risk. Lepovic thought for a moment before making the call.
Nate Castro: 8♥8♠
Elan Lepovic: A♠J♥
There were no aces or jacks to be found on the 6♥2♠3♣K♣Q♠ runout and Castro's pair of eights held to earn him the double up.
