Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

There were three all-ins during the last hand of hand-for-hand play:

Hand #1:

The action folded to Jeppe Bisgaard in the hijack, who opened for 17,000, and Quan Zhou three-bet to 53,000 next to act. Jonathan McCann shoved all in for just over 600,000 in the small blind, and action was back on Bisgaard, who went deep in the tank. After nearly a minute, Bisgaard called for his last 250,000, and Zhou got out of the way.

The tournament staff and camera crews surrounded the table as they awaited the showdown. Once Jack Effel was in place, the cards were on their backs.

Jeppe Bisgaard: KK
Jonathan McCann: AA

It was the ultimate cooler for Bisgaard to run into the only hand better than his. The board ran out 763JJ, and the aces for McCann held up to send Bisgaard out.

Hand #2:

At Table #424, everybody crowded around Yueqi Wang when she was already at risk for around 200,000 chips on the river against Mikiya Kudo.

According to the Japanese player, he opened from under the gun to 17,000 and was called by the cutoff and by Yueqi Wang in the big blind.

On the 6A9 flop, Kudo continued for 25,000. The cutoff folded, and Wang check-called.

The K came on the river, and Kudo fired a second barrel of 55,000, and Wang called.

The river was the 6. Wang took the lead and fired out a bet of 100,000. Then Kudo raised to 300,000, more than Wang's stack. She called.

When she had to reveal her cards, Wang explained that she flipped a coin and that it landed on the "call" side. "I know I'm eliminated, but I call," she said.

Yueqi Wang: A8
Mikiya Kudo: 66

Wang had a top pair but ran into quads. Just as she predicted, she was eliminated.

Hand #3:

Meanwhile, at Table 437, Peter Nigh was all in from the small blind for his last 148,000 and called by Eric Fields, who covered him, putting Fields at risk.

Peter Nigh: AK
Eric Fields: QQ

The flop came J69, giving Fields plenty of outs in the form of two overcards and the nut-flush draw. Those outs failed to materialize on the 5 turn and 6 river, and Fields was sent to the rail on the stone bubble along with two other players.

As there were three eliminations simultaneously, Effel announced they would split $30,000 in prize money and flip for the stone-bubble $10,000 seat into next year's Main Event.

The Flip

They were guided to an empty table for the 2024 WSOP Main Event seat flip. All three players took their seats and got their cards dealt.

Yueqi Wang: 73
Peter Nigh: Q4
Jeppe Bisgaard: 92

The flop came 103K for Wang to hit a pair of treys.

The turn was the Q for Nigh to take the lead with the pair of queens but the river completed the board with the J for Bisgaard to hit the straight to claim his spot for next year.
