2025 World Series of Poker

Just checked on the results of the daily yesterday… holy spades you got fourth! Congrats, my OG table mate! 👏🏼 👏🏼

Potentially the WSOP could be losing a great deal of money… When I was in line to register, I asked someone that worked there if there was a fee to register using a credit card to which they said no all you need to do is verify your credit card and you can use it without any fee. Later when I was playing at a table, one of the playetd said they actually read the terms and conditions and there is a 3% fee to use a credit card. I found this to be annoying because I was told there was no fee. However I checked my bank and I did not get charged a credit card fee. I think it totally makes sense for them to charge a credit card fee... But at least at the moment when I registered for my tournament a few days ago, this fee was not being assessed which is most likely an error that is costing them.

Not there yet still seeing bugs in the app. To many times you don't get to see who's cashed. It's great to see some Pros play lower stake games.

Kenneth Kim Wins $600 Deepstack for First Gold Bracelet ($318,842)

Kenneth Kim has won Event #10: $600 No-Limit Hold'em Deepstack at the 2025 World Series of Poker, held at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.

Kim takes home a first-place prize of $318,842 and his very first WSOP gold bracelet, having outlasted a field of 6,090 players.

Daniel Munoz Elimimated in 3rd Place ($157,968)

Daniel Muniz moved all in from the button for 7,450,000, and Kenneth Kim hesitated before calling, offering an apology to Muniz as he’d been hoping to rope in Alex Paredes for a three-way pot. But Paredes folded, leaving the hand heads-up, and Muniz found himself in hot water.

Daniel Muniz: K♠8♣All in
Kenneth Kim: A♥A♦

The board ran out with 6♥J♣A♠3♥3♣, and Kim's full house was the nuts. As he made his exit, Muniz reminded PokerNews that he had once been the short stack caught between two towering chip leaders—but from that tough spot, he clawed his way back and rode the momentum to an impressive third-place finish.

Gary Blackwood Elimimated in 4th Place
($118,468)

Gary Blackwood was in the big blind and comfortably the table's shortest stack. When action folded to Kenneth Kim in the small blind, he slid a stack of chips across the line to put Blackwood all in.

Blackwood took a second to soak in the moment before calling.

Gary Blackwood: 10♦5♦All in
Kenneth Kim: K♣J♦

The window 5♠ gave Blackwood, and his growing support at the rail, hope, on the 5♠8♠4♥flop.

However, the K♥turn pulled Kim back ahead, and the river 3♦sealed Blackwood's fate.

Kim eliminated his second player in as many hands, but ever the gentleman, Blackwood congratulated his opponent and left the stage with a huge smile on his face.

Edgar Antezana Elimimated in 7th Place ($52,377)

In the big blind, Edgar Antezana was forced all-in with less than the blinds put in. Daniel Muniz raised 4,000,000 in late position isolating Antezana for an all-in showdown.

Edgar Antezana: 10♠8♣ All in
Daniel Muniz: s8h]

With no one hitting the board of J♦2♠4♠2♦2♥, Muniz with ace-high took the pot and sent Antezana to the payout counter to claim his cash winnings.

Luis Diaz Moreno Elimimated in 8th Place ($40,541)

Luis Diaz Moreno open-shoved all-in under the gun for 14,000,000 and got called by Alex Paredes taking them to a heads-up showdown.

Luis Diaz Moreno: A♠7♠All in
Alex Paredes: A♥A♦

Paredes' aces held on the 4♠Q♣9♦Q♦6♣board sending Moreno to hit the rails with a nice payday.

Break Time

The final two players are on a 5-minute break.

誰能奪冠呢！

Chad Cullimore Elimimated in 9th Place ($31,633)

Chad Cullimore—better known as Cowboy Chad—pushed all in for 4,750,000 from the small blind after action folded around. Luis Diaz Moreno gave it some thought in the big blind before making the call. The board initially looked promising for the Cowboy, but the river had other plans, bringing his tournament ride to a sudden and dusty end.

Chad Cullimore: K♥8♠All in
Luis Diaz Moreno: 9♥3♠

The board ran out 6♣6♦2♥9♦, and Moreno's two pair won the chips.

Melendrescruz Fades The Flush

Daniel Muniz raised in early position to 3,500,000, Raul Melendrescruz called in the small blind and the big blind completed.

The 5♦5♣K♦flop was all Melendrescruz needed to see as he led into both players, moving all in for 7,550,000. The big blind got out of the way, but Muniz stuck around with a call.

Raul Melendrescruz: K♣J♥All in
Daniel Muniz: A♦9♦

Melendrescruz had a flush draw to dodge, but on the turn K♠ the double up was guaranteed.

The river 5♥was dealt before Melendrescruz scooped in the pot.

Mukul Pahuja Elimimated in 10th Place ($24,884)

Mukul Pahuja opened for 3,200,000 and got a caller in the big blind Alex Paredes taking them to the flop.

The flop came 2♥K♦6♥and Paredes check-called Pahuja's bet of 2,600,000.

The 2♠ turn fell and Pahuja kept the pressure with a 5,400,000 bet after another check from Paredes. The Ecuadorian, however, replied with an all-in shove for almost 30,000,000 sending Pahuja to the tank.

"You're going to pick the wrong guy, buddy," said Pahuja as he called out possible hands Paredes may have. He took quite some time to consider his options that it prompted Edgar Antezana to call time.

Before the 30 seconds given to him went up, he made the call.

Mukul Pahuja: 7♥7♠All in
Alex Paredes: A♠K♣

Pahuja prepared to leave the table after seeing Paredes flop two pair with the board. The river A♣improved Paredes' hand further ending Pahuja's deep tournament run.

Antennas First to Double on Final Table

Edgar Antezana went all in from under the gun for 4,600,000 and the action folded around to Chad Cullimore who went all in from the button for 10,100,000. The blinds folded and the cards were revealed.

Edgar Antezana: K♥9♥All in
Chad Cullimore: J♠J♦

Cullimore was in good shape before the flop, with pocket jacks but the flop gave Antezana the lead with a pair of kings.
Cullimore had some broadway outs looking for a queen.

The turn card came the 2♥, Cullimore still behind.

The river card sealed it with the 8♠, and Antezana celebrated with his rail, "VAMOS!"

Daniel Vandyke Elimimated In 11th Place ($24,884)

Alex Paredes opened the button to 5,000,000, knowing the big blind had roughly this amount in his stack. The small blind folded, and Daniel Vandyke moved all-in. Paredes flicked in a chip just in case his initial raise wasn't quite large enough to cover the big blind stack.

Daniel Vandyke: 6♥7♠ All in
Alex Paredes: A♥K♠

There was slight hope for Vandyke on the 8♠8♥3♥2♥7♥board, as he held a heart in his hand. This was short-lived as he noticed his opponent had the A♥.

A great run by Vandyke, who is unlucky to miss out on the unofficial final table.
