Suffice to say Adrian Attenborough is going to make an appearance, or ten, in the next PokerNews Hands of the Week column, especially after a couple of world-class plays he made late on Day 7 of the 2022 World Series of Poker Main Event.

In one hand, he made a difficult call on the river with top pair, and in the other, he risked his entire tournament life with six-high. Both hands took place in the most prestigious tournament in the world with massive pay jumps on the horizon.

Brandon Shack-Harris: {x-}{x-}/{3-}{6-}{5-}{j-}/{x-}

Brandon Shack-Harris bet on fifth and sixth streets, with Jason Mercier calling down to seventh.

A few hands later, Mercier would complete with the {6-} as Koray Aldemir called with a {3-}. With a {3-}{7-}{3-} board, Aldemir bet on fourth and fifth streets.

Brian Hastings completed with a {4-}, Yufei Zhong moved all in for 15,000 with a {9-} and Chance Kornuth called with a {k-}.

Yufei Zhong: {8-}{7-}/{9-}{6-}{5-}{7-}/{5-}

Chance Kornuth: {x-}{x-}/{k-}{6-}{3-} (Folded on fifth street)

Hastings bet on fourth street with Kornuth calling behind.

On fifth street Hastings bet once more and Kornuth tossed his hand into the muck.

Zhong looked good to win the pot prior to seventh street where Hastings made a six-five to leave his opponent drawing dead before he turned over the cards. Zhong wished his opponents well and left the tournament area.
