The Ladies Love Kurtzman; Boat Sinks for Poole

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Dennis Poole and Eben Kurtzman got all their chips in the middle preflop and were set to run out five cards.

Dennis Poole: JJ All in
Eben Kurtzman: QQ

The flop caused a collective "Ohhhh!" from the table as the JQ7 hit the felt with both players flopping a set.

A louder "Ohhhh!!" was released from the table as the 9 gave Poole some much-needed flush outs.

The dealer paused an instant, creating tension before the very dramatic Q completed the board and the general uproar of the table continued.

"Let me know when I'm going to make quads so I know not to isolate!" Kurtzman said as he collected the pot and sent Poole on his way.

Whyte Eliminates Alexander

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Gregory Alexander went all in for his last few thousand chips and it looked like it might get through before Lawrence Whyte called in the big blind.

Gregory Alexander: 63 All in
Lawrence Whyte: AK

The flop fanned out J104, keeping Whyte in the lead but the 5 on the turn offered a glimmer of hope to Alexander as he improved to the open-ended straight draw.

It was short-lived as the 10 closed the door on Alexander and he quickly left the tournament area.

Long standing poker fans might be surprised to hear of the tough competitors drawn to the Super Seniors.

Eli Elezra, a long time staple of televised high stakes, has yet to tally a cash at the 2025 World Series of Poker but he has been on the felt, as he bubbled the $1,500 Big O deep in Day 1 earlier in the Series.

JJ Liu, with nearly $4,000,000 in lifetime earnings has cashes dating back to 1996 and she makes the pilgrimage to the WSOP every summer. She's easy to spot, as she always has a vibrant fashion sense. Liu cashed Event #10: $600 No-Limit Hold'em Deepstack but has yet to find a big score,

Two-time Main Event Champion, Johnny Chan, was also seen in the mix. He often cherry picks the events he feels like playing, putting in less volume than many of his peers. Chan is an elite group of double-digit bracelet winners with a whopping 10. The poker legend hasn't logged a single cash in 2025 but that doesn't mean he won't be a force to be reckoned with when he does show up.
