Level 32 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Javier Zarco opened to 500,000 and was called by Juan Carlos Vecino to see a flop of K♣9♣2♥. Vecino checked, Zarco bet 350,000, and Vecino called to see another K♦ peel on the turn.

Vecino then check-called another bet of 350,000 from Zarco to continue to the river, which brought out the third K♠. The action then went check-check and Vecino flipped over J♠2♠ for kings full of deuces, prompting a quick fold from Zarco.

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Yasheel Doddanavar raised to 200,000 from middle position, Yunkyu Song three-bet to 700,000 from the cutoff and Doddanavar called.

The 8♦5♠J♥ flop saw Doddanavar check. Song bet out 500,000 and Doddanavar check-raised, moving all in for 4,100,000.

"So sick," exclaimed Song as he made the call, "Aces?" he asked as he got out of his chair.

Yasheel Doddanavar: J♣10♣ All in
Yunkyu Song: K♣K♥

Song was pleasantly surprised to see he was ahead. The 9♠ turn gave Doddanavar additional outs but the 5♦ river ultimately saw Doddanavar sent to the rail.

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

After an open to 400,000 by Javier Gomez, the action folded around to Kavin Shah in the big blind who moved all in.

"Sh*t," Shah sighed as Gomez snap-called to put him at risk and the cards were on their backs.

Kavin Shah: A♦7♦ All in
Javier Gomez: A♣K♠

Shah would need a lot of help to stay alive, but the runout of K♥5♠9♣Q♥2♠ left him dead on the turn and he was sent to the payout desk in seventh place.

Narcis Nedelcu: 9♥9♠ All in
Kavin Shah: K♠3♠

Nedelcu was ahead but the 8♦8♠4♠ flop gave Shah a flush draw. The 3♦ paired Shah and the 3♣ river gave him trips. Nedelcu's nines were cracked and he was sent to the rail.

And now, at the 2024 World Series of Poker, we may have seen the biggest slowroll of the summer so far.
