2024 World Series of Poker
Daniel Sepiol had the Q♥Q♦ under the gun and raised to 500,000. Jeremy Ausmus woke up with the A♦K♠ in the hijack and three-bet it to 1,150,000. Daniel Strelitz found a bad time to look down at J♦J♣ in the small blind as he then moved all in for 5,050,000.
Sepiol re-jammed for a bit more and Ausmus, who had both players covered, had a big decision and went deep into the tank. Eventually he elected to lay down big slick.
Daniel Strelitz: J♦J♣
Daniel Sepiol: Q♥Q♦
Ausmus watched in horror as an ace came in the window when the flop came down 10♣8♠A♠. The turn was the 6♦, and the river was the 9♠ to give Sepiol a more than double up. Strelitz was gone in fifth place, and Ausmus was left thinking what could have been.

Daniel Sepiol shoved all in from the small blind and Jeremy Ausmus called from the big blind for his stack of 3,900,000.
Jeremy Ausmus: A♠9♠
Daniel Sepiol: Q♣6♣
Ausmus needed to to hold in order to remain in the tournament and wouldn't have liked seeing the 4♥K♣J♣ flop as Sepiol improved to a flush draw.
Sepiol paired his queen on the Q♥ turn which left Ausmus in a world of trouble heading to the river. An ace or a ten that wasn't a club is what Ausmus needed but it wasn't to be as the 4♠ completed the board which eliminated him in fourth.
