Gustavo Mendez Laporta raised to 160,000 in middle position, and Russ Head three-bet jammed in the hijack for about 1,200,000 to put himself at risk. Mendez Laporta made the call.
Russ Head: 5♠5♦ 
Gustavo Mendez Laporta: 9♠9♦
Head apologized in advance for the five that he predicted would appear. He was correct, but it was too little, too late, as the board ran out A♠9♥Q♦J♠5♣.
Level: 27
Blinds: 40,000/80,000
Ante: 80,000
Phil Hellmuth tries to keep it positive on social media. But a bad beat elimination from a recent 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) event caused the "Poker Brat" to rant.
The 17-time bracelet winner posted a three-minute video shortly after busting on Day 2 from Event #33: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship. In that clip, he expressed frustration two weeks into a long WSOP.
Players have been sent on the first 15-minute break of the day and will return to blinds at 30,000/60,000 with a 60,000 big blind ante.
Theunis Goosen open-jammed from under the gun for about 400,000, and action folded around to Jessica Dawley in the big blind, who called for her last 140,000.
Jessica Dawley: A♥6♠
Theunis Goosen: 8♣8♠
No help for Dawley on the Q♠3♦K♥K♣4♥ runout, and she was sent to the rail.
Emmanuel Mckenzie was in the big blind and ended up getting it all in preflop for 785,000 against Nicolas Halvorson in middle position, who covered.
Emmanuel Mckenzie: J♥J♦
Nicolas Halvorson: 10♠10♥
Mckenzie remained in the lead all the way as the board ran out 5♥A♣6♠J♣2♣, earning him the double-up. Halvorson was left with about 100,000, but busted shortly after.
Aharon Kessary made it 100,000 to play from the hijack only for Oliver Tot in the cutoff to three-bet to 250,000.
Kessary made the call and the dealer fanned out the flop of J♣7♠4♦. Kessary check-called Tot's 160,000 continuation-bet for the 8♣ to peel off on the turn.
Kessary moved all in for 560,000, which sent Tot into the tank briefly before he made the call.
Aharon Kessary: 8♦7♦
Oliver Tot: K♦J♠
No board pair up or King to save Tot on the 2♣ river, and Kessary was pushed the pot for a double-up to cross over the million chip mark.
Hye Park was down to just 40,000 and got it all in from under the gun against Francisco Herrera in the hijack.
Hye Park: 5♣2♦
Francisco Herrera: A♦K♠
Both players hit a piece of the Q♥5♠A♥ flop, but Herrera remained in the lead with a pair of aces. The Q♠ turn and 3♦ river offered no help to Park, who was sent packing.
