Action was followed from the J♣9♣A♠ flop. The pot stood at around 2,500 and there were three players in the hand.
Anuschka Van Lent had checked the small blind, and Ryan Apple also checked from the big blind. Katherine Porrello bet 2,000 and only Lent called.
The pair were taken to the 4♣ turn and both checked to the J♠ river.
Lent bet 4,000 on the river, and Porrello mucked, passing a small pot to Lent.

Chris Moorman had raised preflop and was called by Michael Cervantes. By the time the flop showed A♣Q♠2♣, Cervantes check-called a bet of 800 and did so again for 2,200 on the 9♠ turn. They checked the 9♣ on the river when the board paired and Cervantes had the best hand in 5♣3♣ for the flush.
"We'll take it, I should have probably bet," Cervantes said while he raked in the pot.

In the 904th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Kyna England, and Mike Holtz are joined by Grosvenor Poker Pro Jamie Nixon at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas to talk about the latest from the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP). That includes the WSOP's controversial decision regarding the alleged Millionaire Maker chip dumping between Jesse Yaginuma and James Carroll, which may or may not include lifetime bans. It's a lively debate that examines the situation from multiple angles, including the likely involvement of the Nevada Gaming Commission.
They then take a look at a controversial hand posted by Lexy Gavin-Mather where a dealer error that may have brought a much-needed seven out of the muck had the poker world talking. From there, the trio highlight the historic win by Shiina Okamoto, who successfully defended her Ladies Event title after finishing runner-up three years ago. She also had to put up with Phil Hellmuth Jr., for better or worse, as the crew debated. That wasn't the only historic win, as Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi won the prestigious $50,000 Poker Players Championship for an unbelievable fourth time. Toss in the first gold bracelet won by Darren Elias, and there were some big winners to be celebrated.
Jamie Nixon then talks about Grosvenor Poker and the upcoming Goliath in Coventry, how his buddy is running a daily bracket of funny poker names, and then Chad explains why there's a giant cutout of Espan Jorstad's head on the set (Hint: it came from the recent GTOWizard party).
A new PokerNews Podcast will drop twice a week during the 2025 WSOP every Thursday and Sunday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time. Remember to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you do not miss an episode!
