2026 World Series of Poker
Chip Counts
Action was picked up on the turn in a five-way pot that included Octavian Vogele in the big blind, Michael Kamran in first position, and Davis Aalvik in the hijack.
The board read K♣8♦3♣7♦ and Vogele bet 14,000 to see Kamran call. Aalvik raised to 60,000 and the only person to continue was Kamran.
Kamran moved all in for 74,000 on the river 10♦ and Aalvik called.
Michael Kamran: A♣9♠6♣2♥
Davis Aalvik: 8♥7♠7♣6♥
Aalvik's set was no good on the river against Kamran's ten-high straight and Kamran took down the pot to survive.
Daniel Negreanu raised to 11,000 in the hijack, which Matthew Costanzo called in the cutoff before Dylan Duran came along in the big blind.
The action checked to Costanzo on a 9♦A♦8♣ flop, who bet 17,000. That was enough to fold out both Negreanu and Duran.
New to the table, Santiago Plante, who was previously all in for 1,000, has spun that up to 40,000.
Sebastian Pauli raised to 14,000 from first position and David James called on the button.
The flop rolled out A♦6♦2♦ and both players checked to the J♣ turn where Pauli moved all in for 17,000.
"I can't even call you," lamented James as he showed K♥K♠ while tossing his hand away.
Pauli returned the favor and showed K♦Q♦ for a flopped king-high flush.
Piotr Krupa raised to 12,000 from the hijack and faced a three-bet to 40,000 from Alex Foxen in the small blind. Once the big blind got out of the way, Krupa four-bet to 124,000, and Foxen quickly folded.
"You can't bully me, dude", Krupa told Foxen.
"I'm going to keep trying", Foxen retorted.
Eyan Chee called in first position to see Alex Foxen call in the cutoff and Leonid Yanovski call in the small blind. Piotr Krupa raised to 20,000 in the big blind and both Foxen and Chee called.
The flop rolled out A♠J♥6♦ to see Krupa bet 40,000 and only Foxen called.
"You're the best," said Krupa as Foxen matched the bet.
"Are you bluffing?" asked Foxen.
"Yes. All in," replied Krupa as he whipped his last 115,000 into the center as the 8♠ turn peeled off. A smile crossed Foxen's face as he tossed away his hand, ceding the pot to Krupa.
Left with just a single 1,000 chip, Santiago Plante flicked it in, and Peter Cross had him at risk.
Santiago Plante: A♣10♠7♣5♥
Peter Cross: A♦K♥9♣6♠
The Q♦7♠7♥6♦4♦ board kept Plante alive, but still with just a couple of big blinds.
Bin Duan raised to 14,000 under the gun, which Mauricio Pais and Ludovic Geilich called from the hijack and button.
Duan continued for 15,000 on a 10♦2♠9♦ flop, which removed Pais, but Geilich called.
The 4♦ turn didn't slow Duan down, as he barreled for 82,000. This time Geilich waved the white flag, and Duan scooped the pot.
Action was picked up with cards on their backs with Trent Wilson all in for his last 21,000 against Vamerdino Magsakay in the big blind.
Trent Wilson: A♥J♠8♣4♠
Vamerdino Magsakay: A♣K♠J♣4♣
The board ran out K♥7♠2♦5♥J♥ and the kings up was good for Magsakay to eliminate Wilson from the tournament.
