Level 23 : Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

That’s a question “Texas” Mike Moncek, who suffers from a heart condition, asked himself Wednesday night after playing in the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise Event #7: $100,000 Triton Main Event.

The tournament, which is being live reported by PokerNews, attracted 182 entrants and offered up an $18,200,000 prize pool. On Day 2, a little over 40 players remained when Texas Mike, in his own words, “punted.”

Fedor Holz raised to 250,000 in middle position and Seth Davies moved all in for 900,000 in the hijack with K♠Q♠. Holz snap-folded 9♥8♥.
