Robert Cowen had 60,000 in front of him and a single 5K chip behind. Najeem Ajez raised it and Cowen, aware of the upcoming payjump, took his time before committing his final chip as well.
Robert Cowen: Q♠Q♣4♦3♠ 
Najeem Ajez: A♦K♣K♠J♠
The dealer fanned out 9♥6♦6♣3♣7♣ and Ajez' kings remained best. "Good game, brother," he said as Cowen made his way out in 48th place.

Erick Lindgren limped the hijack, followed by Brian Rast on the button and Najeem Ajez in the small blind before Benoit Galland checked his option.
The dealer spread a flop of A♦A♣J♠, and once checked to, Lindgren dropped a bet of 25,000 across the line. All three of his opponents made the call.
The action froze as they all checked on the 5♠ turn, and 10♠ river where Ajez announced a flush, tabling A♠K♠9♠6♦ which was good as all three of the other hands flung into the muck.

The 2024 WSOP is only five days in, but already there have been some moves and shakers in the $25K Fantasy League.
As of this writing, David Coleman is the top point earner with 42 points thanks to a sixth-place finish in Event #1: $5,000 Champions Reunion NLH Freezeout for $69,231. That’s great value for Team The Dinkers (Josh Kay & the Florida crew) as they bought him for just $3 in the draft, meaning Coleman is putting up 14 points per dollar (Pts/$).
Not far behind with 39 points is league commissioner Daniel Negreanu, though his points per dollar is a paltry 0.3 Pts/$. Negreanu, who belongs to Team DPMC (defending champs Donnie Peters and Matt Clark) finished 50th in Event #1: $5,000 Champions Reunion for $9,141 and the following day placed 16th out of 3,485 players in Event #3: $500 WSOP Kickoff NLH Freezeout for $8,541.
The best value of the draft so far is Team Lady Gaga’s (Ren Lin) Qiang Xu, who they bought for a dollar. Xu, who won a bracelet at the 2023 WSOP, has 35 points (35 pts/$.) thanks to 37th-place finish in Event #3 for $4,596.
