Quads on the River Cracks Mintzys Set of Aces for Gross Bad Beat at WSOP Ben Mintz, aka “Mintzy,” on Tuesday, took one of the dirtiest bad beats we’ve seen all summer at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP). The Barstool Sports personality, thanks to a one-outer on the river, is out of Event #75: $1,000 Mini Main Event on Day 2. He earned a small cash but was devastated by the manner in which he exited the tournament. Rough Way to Go Out Mintzy picked up pocket aces in a hand, a welcome sight for the short-stacked player trying to build a stack to make a run at the final table in a 10,794-entrant field. He’d get those aces all-in preflop against a bigger-stacked opponent holding pocket eights. The flop came out K*♦8♦A♦*, giving both players a set.

Michael Wang Completes One of WSOP’s Greatest Comebacks in $10K PLO Table Of Contents The phrase “a chip and a chair” has been commonplace among tournament poker players for decades, referencing Jack Straus’ 1982 Main Event victory after being left with a single chip. Longtime tournament grinder Michael Wang found himself in a similar position yesterday after doubling up Poker Hall of Famer Erik Seidel in a hand that left Wang with just 65,000. Down to his last five chips, worth two-thirds of a big blind at the time, Wang was all in automatically the next hand just from posting the big blind. His elimination seemed all but guaranteed.

2025 WSOP Day 36: Phil Hellmuth Closes In On 18th WSOP Bracelet Table Of Contents The 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) continued at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas on July 1, the 36th day of this exciting festival. Six events played out while a wind and dust storm engulfed Sin City. When that dust had settled, literally, two players had captured gold bracelets, while four other bracelet-awarding events edged closer to awarding theirs. You’ve heard of the poker phrase “a chip and a chair,” right? Well, what about two-thirds of a big blind and a chair? Michael Wang was down to such an amount after doubling up Erik Seidel. Despite being all but guaranteed to be eliminated, Wang embarked on an epic comeback and ultimately came out on top to take down Event #74: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship for $1,394,579 and his third bracelet.
