2025 Merit Poker Western Series
The final ten players are on a 20-minute break.
While the other players had gone on their break, Aliaksandr Hirs raised from the cutoff and Georgios Skarparis defended his big blind.
On the 2♠6♥5♥ flop, Skarparis checked and Hirs fired out a continuation-bet of 150,000. Skarparis then check-raised to 475,000, and Hirs called.
When the 10♠ dropped on the turn, Skarparis shoved for 3,075,000 — almost double the pot. After using a few time banks, hirs called.
Georgios Skarparis: 6♦6♣
Aliaksandr Hirs: 10♥8♥
Skarparis slammed his hand down as if he had it locked up, but he still had to fade the river as Hirs had a flush draw. The 3♠ dropped on the river, which was a brick, and Skarparis climbed to almost 8,000,000 while Hirs dropped down the pecking order.

Nicolae Paunescu: K♥K♠
Philipp Wood: A♥A♠

Aliaksandr Hirs raised from under the gun and then snap-called the shove of Andrei Roscan, who was in the big blind with around 1,600,000.
Andrei Roscan: 6x6x
Aliaksandr Hirs: A♦K♣
Roscan desperately needed to win the flip, but got off to the worst possible start as the A♥10♠8♠ flop gave Hirs top pair. A J♥ on the turn changed nothing, and the 10♦ river meant Roscan was out in 12th.

Zhen Chen raised from middle position to 300,000 and Haghgou Seyedahmad called from the small blind.
They both saw a flop of A♣10♥10♦ where Seyedahmad check-called a bet of 200,000 from Chen to see the 2♠ drop on the turn. Again Seyedahmad checked, then Chen bet 475,000. Seyedahmad snapped back with a check-raise to 1,000,000, which was enough to get the job done as Chen folded.
