Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Oliver Weis and Vamsi Magam built of pot of around 20,000 as they went to the turn on a board of 6♦3♣8♦6♠. Both players then checked, and the 5♣ fell on the river.

Weis then moved all in, having Magam's remaining 45,000 narrowly covered, and Magam went deep into the tank. Nearly five minutes went by before another player at the table called the clock.

Magam allowed his 30-second countdown to reach zero before his hand was declared dead, and Weis took in the pot.

Joe Serock opened to 800 from the cutoff and called a three-bet of 2,300 from Anthony Zinno, who was in the big blind.

Both players checked on the 8♦10♣7♠ flop and then Zinno check-called a 3,500 bet from Serock on the 6♦ turn.

The 5♦ completed the board and Zinno checked a final time. Serock sized up for a hefty bet of 16,000 and Zinno let his hand go after a bit of thought.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Players were already heads up on the 4♠8♠J♦ flop with a pot of around 6,000. Hrvoje Mitrovic was in middle position and had bet out 4,000 which was raised to 16,000 by Michael Wang in the big blind.

Mitrovic made the call and the players saw a 2♠ turn. Wang check-called a 12,000 bet by Mitrovic, after around 30 seconds of deliberation.

A A♦ fell on the river and Wang took some time before opting to check. Mitrovic bet 18,500 which prompted Wang to give up his hand, leaving him on just under half starting stack after the hand.

"I Don't Know About That One"

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Picking the action up with 17,600 already in the pot, Micha Fettman bet 7,000 from the small blind on a 6♥7♠3♣A♦ turn, and Michael Monroig called from early position.

Fettman put another 12,500 in on the Q♠ river, which sent Monroig deep into the tank. After some time had passed, another player at the table called the clock, but before the floor had arrived, Monroig folded.

"I don't know, man, I don't know about that one. A set? A total bluff?" Monroig directed towards Fettman. He would be left wondering, though, as Fettman remained tight-lipped.

Doug Polk can't seem to catch a break recently at the World Series of Poker (WSOP), especially in the Main Event.

The three-time bracelet winner had an insane roller coaster start to his 2026 WSOP Main Event on Day 1d, which began at 11 a.m. PT on Sunday. Polk took a bad beat, doubled up, then lost 90% of his stack in a brutal cooler ... all within the first hour of poker's World Championship event.

More than 3,300 players registered for the final Day 1 starting session at the time of publishing. Polk was among that group of players, and he was hoping for a better outcome than last year's bad beat exit.

With around 15,000 in the middle on a board of 4♥Q♣3♣A♥, Sacha Cohen bet 5,000 from the small blind and Hao-Shan Huang called on the button.

Cohen checked the J♠ river, and Huang bet 12,500. Cohen took a minute before calling, and Huang showed 2♣2♥. Cohen turned over A♣K♣ for top pair to win the pot.

Nicholas Palma has recently joined the field and has increased his stack...by 800. "Cash me out! I have them right where I want them," Palma said.
