Gumz Gets a Rude Welcome; Angelov, Astedt Reunite
Daniel Rezaei bet 8,000 from middle position on a flop of 2♦7♠7♥ and Edgaras Kausinis raised to 20,000 in the big blind. Rezaei called and the Q♥ fell on the turn.
Kausinis slowed down and checked, then folded when Rezaei bet 13,000.
The next hand, Fabian Gumz, who had just moved to this table, opened to 10,000 under the gun and Rezaei three-bet to 30,000.
"How did I know this was going to happen?" Gumz said.
"We don't f**k around at this table," Niklas Astedt added.
"We were roommates at a poker trip to Uruguay. We both make the final table and he said he'll stay away from me. He then three-bets me three times in a row," Gumz said as he folded.
Boris Angelov also joined this table as he was reunited with fellow 2024 WSOP Main Event finalist Astedt. "I think they gave me the wrong ticket," Angelov joked.
Kausinis then raised to 10,000 on the button, Angelov three-bet to 36,000 in the small blind, Kausinis moved all in for 95,000, and Angelov snap-called.
Edgaras Kausinis: Q♠J♥ 
Boris Angelov: A♥2♥
Kausinis hit top pair on the Q♦2♦3♠ flop to take the lead. "Four," Angelov pleaded, but he missed the 9♠ turn and 9♣ river as Kausinis doubled up.
