Rob Sherwood Departs Against Yunkyu Song

Level 10: 1,000 / 2,000 ante: 2,000

Rob Sherwood, runner-up of the 2024 WPT World Championship, is unable to spin up a late entry on Day 1b when he runs with A J into the K K of reigning WPT Player of the Year Yunkyu Song. Both players hit the ace-king high flop and that spells the end for Sherwood.


One table over, Thi Bao An Nguyen celebrates winning a big pot and grins "Ace high wins, I got pocket queens to fold". She soars near the top of the leaderboard with a big stack.

Joe Serock Eliminated by Kaifan Wang

Level 9: 800 / 1,600 ante: 1,600
Joseph Serock

Joe Serock is all-in for fumes and called multiple ways. Kaifan Wang is the one to isolate on the A K 5 9 turn with the A T and Serock is drawing dead already with the 8 3 to make the 2 river a formality.


Serock leaves the seat and Rob Sherwood replaces him as late entrant.
