2024 World Series of Poker
Level: 21
Blinds: 250,000/500,000
Ante: 500,000
Ben Tollerene raised to 800,000 from under the gun holding J♠J♣. Taylor von Kriegenbergh three-bet to 2,200,000 from the hijack and Sean Winter cold four-bet to 3,600,000 from the big blind, leaving himself 2,700,000 behind the line. Tollerene quickly got rid of his premium pocket pair and Von Kriegenbergh went deep into the tank.
Von Kriegenbergh squirmed over his decision, using all his remaining time banks, before five-bet jamming for Winter's effective stack of 6,275,000. Winter snap-called.
Sean Winter: K♠K♥
Taylor von Kriegenbergh: Q♦Q♣
Winter was in a commanding position, but the 9♦Q♥3♦ dramatically reversed their fates. The 6♦ turn reduced Winter to just one out.
"One time!" Winter exclaimed.
The dealer placed the 7♦ on the river to improve Von Kriegenbergh to a flush and Winter was sent to the rail.

The remaining 9 players have been sent on a 15-minute break as the final table is being set up.
The action folded to Ben Tollerene who raised to 1,400,000 from the small blind, getting a call from Adrian Mateos in the big blind.
The players saw a 2♣8♠10♥ flop and Tollerene bet out 800,000. Mateos took some time but made the call.
The turn came the 7♠ and Tollerene bet 3,200,000, with Mateos using a time bank before finding another call.
A 10♦ was brought on the river and Tollerene bet 6,300,000, putting Mateos all-in once he had called.
Tollerene showed J♥9♦ for the straight, and Mateos threw his Q♦10♣ to the dealer.

Sean Winter opened to 800,000 from the button before Taylor von Kriegenbergh three-bet to 2,300,000 from the small blind. Matthias Eibinger jammed as the big stack from the big blind and folded out Winter and Von Kriegenbergh.
"Power move," commented Von Kriegenbergh.
The following hand, Eibinger limped in from the small blind. Santhosh Suvarna checked his option in the big blind.
Eibinger check-called bets of 500,000 and 1,200,000 on the flop and turn for the final board to read A♦6♦5♠2♦8♣. Action checked through to showdown. Eibinger had king-high with his K♦9♠ while Suvarna took the pot with A♥5♦, which was good for the two pair.
After the hand, the table broke and the players moved to the nine-handed final table.
