Allan Sannier in middle position and Ahamad Meman in the hijack had already moved all-in when Tony Ho was left with a tough decision. After a long tank, he finally slammed his 32,700-chip stack on the table to call and put himself at risk.
Tony Ho: A♣Q♣ 
Ahamad Meman: A♦K♦
Allan Sannier: A♠K♥
Ho called with the worst hand, and things didn’t look any better after a flop of 2♦5♣J♥. But luck was on his side as the 6♣4♣ runout gave him a runner-runner flush to triple-up just before the dinner break.

Action was joined as Vitor Dzivielevski was facing a bet of 6,300 from his opponent, Leonardo Valenzuela.
The dealer had provided a 7♠2♣9♠6♥ board, and Valenzuela, in the cutoff, had bet following a Dzivielevski check from the small blind. Dzivielevski made the call, and the players moved on to a Q♦ river.
The river slowed the action down as both players checked. Dzivielevski showed his A♦9♣, which was good enough, and Valenzuela returned his cards to the dealer.

Arriving on the 2♣Q♥9♠3♥ turn with around 17,000 in the middle, Vincent Giuliano bet 7,600 from the small blind, which Christopher George called on the button.
The 6♠ river was checked to showdown. Giuliano only had ace-high with his A♦K♥, leaving George to take the pot iwh A♥9♦ for a pair of nines.

Amin Hosein: A♦7♥
David Scatchard: 9♣9♥
Suspense wasn't allowed to build, as Scatchard hit a set of nines on the flop and rode out the full runout of 9♠A♠2♣K♠5♦ to put Hosein out of the tournament.

On the turn of a board that showed 5♣8♠6♠9♠ and with around 14,000 in the middle, Steven Buckner jammed from middle position and the action was on Tarun Goyal. The bet was for Goyal's remaining 18,000, and after thinking for a few minutes, Goyal called.
Tarun Goyal: 7♣4♣
Steven Buckner: K♠9♦
Goyal had a straight, but Buckner could still hit a spade on the river to eliminate Goyal just before the dinner break. The river was a blank, allowing Goyal to earn the crucial double-up.

On a completed board of Q♠9♠4♣5♥4♥, Howard Spitz checked and then faced a bet worth 4,000 by Jordan Griff. He reluctantly called and Griff showed his A♠10♥, which Spitz had beat with the 10♦9♦ for nines and fours.

Phil Ivey will not be the 2025 World Series of Poker Main Event champion. The 11-time WSOP bracelet winner saw his tournament come to an end at the halfway point of Day 1d after losing a battle of the blinds to fellow poker pro Joseph Cheong.
While Ivey has achieved nearly everything the game has to offer, poker's World Championship continues to evade him. His deepest run came in 2009, when he finished seventh at the Main Event final table.
But 2025 won’t be the year he adds the most coveted title in poker to his résumé.
