Shant Marashlian Eliminated in 5th Place ($159,517)

Level 32 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Alexander Queen opened in early position with A7 to 600,000, and then Eddie Ochana three-bet to 2,200,000 out of the small blind.

Shant Marashlian, who entered Level 32 with just two big blinds, was essentially pot committed in the big blind and elected to put the rest of his chips in the pot to put himself at risk. Queen promptly folded.

Shant Marashlian: 103 All in
Eddie Ochana: 75

The dealer fanned 768 on the flop, putting Ochana’s pair of sevens in the lead. The K on the turn gave Marashlian a flush draw, but the J on the river sent Marashlian to the rail.

Marashlian earned $159,517 for his fifth-place finish.

Eddie Ochana raised to 650,000 on the button with 76 and Alexander Queen defended out of the big blind with A9.

This Poker Jinx on the $5K Bubble Will Leave You Speechless!

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Martin Stausholm

Is there ever such a thing as a jinx in poker?

Martin Stausholm would be forgiven for thinking so after bubbling the debuting Event #16: $5,000 8-Handed No-Limit Hold'em at the 2024 World Series of Poker.

Stausholm, a poker player from Denmark, was one of the 823 entries to make up the field. From Day 1, 239 out of 660 made it over the first hurdle, and they were joined by 163 more players who took advantage of the Day 2 registration.

With that, 402 players were in contention for the $660,284 first-place prize, but only 124 of them could make the money and take a share of the $3,785,800 prize pool.
