Top 5 WPT® Poker Hands Uploaded in September 2025

At the WPT® final table from Bay 101 Shooting Star, Taylor Paur’s pocket kings looked unstoppable. 

After bluffing and raising throughout the table all evening, his pocket kings had him lay down a pre-flop raise of 400,000, to which Isaac Baron promptly replied with a pre-flop all in holding ace-six. 

To little surprise, Paur was fast to insta call Baron’s all in, raising the pot to 7,725,700. 

It seemed that Isaac was in hot water, as the flop revealed 8♣ 4♠ 7♥. However, his saving grace arrived on the turn with an ace giving him the pair A♦ 3♥. After the river delivered a 3♥, the pot went to Baron, who was undoubtedly breathing a sigh of relief. 

The result: Baron scooped a 7.7M chip pot, and Paur’s kings were left cracked in brutal fashion. 

At a WPT® final table, Matt Salsberg, a familiar face at WPT® , holds A♣10♣ against Theo Jorgensen with 8♠7♠, facing a pot of 165,000. 

After pairing on the flop J♣ 8♠ A♥, Jorgensen makes a continuation bet of 85,000, which Salsberg is happy to call. 

Both players check the turn, and the board runs J♣ 8♠ A♥ 2♣ 8♦, with the river 8♦ smashing Jorgensen to trip eights. Salsberg checks the river, and Jorgensen understandably raises to 250,000, with Salsberg promptly calling.

The action ends with Jorgensen snatching a massive pot and leaving Salsberg shaking his head, in what was one of the most exciting spikes of the tournament. 

The biggest jaw-dropper uploaded in September came from Darryll Fish against Jared Mahoney, proving to be one of the best WPT hands on the channel this month.

Fish, holding a Q♠J♠, came in on the pre-flop with a raise of 450,000, which Mahoney quickly called holding a promising pocket A♥A♠, bringing the pot to 1,075,000. 

As the flop brought out 9♠ 6♠ 3♠, Fish laid down a 450,000, hoping for that flush. With the confidence of pocket aces, Mahoney raises to over a million. Fish announces his all-in, and Mahoney was all too happy to insta call. 

Mahoney’s pocket aces had 63% of the outs, but Fish’s Q♠J♠ turned into a flush on the turn as the board ran out 9♠ 6♠ 3♠ 5♥ 7♥.

Upon the arrival of the 7♥ on the river, the crowd went wild as Fish scooped an enormous 8.6M chip pot, leaving Mahoney stunned and leaving it as one of the brutal WPT coolers of recent times.

One of September’s most jaw-dropping uploads saw a classic WPT® cooler, with David Paredes and Joe Kuether, colliding in a monster pot at the Borgata Casino in Atlantic City . 

On the button, David Paredes raised the pre-flop to 880,000 with his pocket aces in hand.

In response, Kuether shoved with ace-king, only to instantly be called by Paredes’ pocket aces, sending it straight to a cooler. A common sight when there’s only 3 players left in a high stakes championship with high blinds.

As the turn arrived revealing 5♣ 9♣ 5♦ K♥, there was a tense moment for Paredes as it gave Kuether a glimpse of hope and a few more outs coming into the river. 

However, the river eventually arrived and the board of 5♣ 9♣ 5♦ K♥ Q♦,  and gave Paredes the win and a staggering 19.5M chip pot, while Kuether hit the rail.
