Grise Sent to the Rail by Oman

Kai Cocklin

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

There were over 200,000 chips in the pot on a board of A♥10♠5♣K♣ when Benjamin Grise got in his stack of around 175,000, with Carl Oman looking to score the elimination.

Benjamin Grise: 10♥10♦ All in
Carl Oman: A♣Q♣

"No club!" shouted Grise, who was in a great spot to double-up.

Unfortunately for Grise, a club did come as the 2♣ filled out the board which eliminated him, as Oman improved to the nut flush.

There was a three-way all in going on with Ryan Franklin having the best of it and the chance to eliminate two players at once.

Frederic Delval: 7x7x All in
Tyler Smith: 10x10x All in
Ryan Franklin: KxKx

The flop came 6♠Q♦J♠. The turn was the 8♥ and just as Delval called for a lucky seven the 7♥ came on the river to save his tournament life and give him a triple up.

Backpack Equity Beats Jacket Equity

Christian Zetzsche

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Dmytro Bystrovzorov went out of his seat and put on the backpack already when his table neighbour put on his jacket but forgot his backpack. In the preflop showdown, Bystrovzorov was at risk with A♠K♦ versus J♥10♥ and remained ahead throughout the 4♥3♣2♥9♣Q♠ runout to stay in contention.

David Salituro

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Xavier Kyablue moved all in for 142,000 from the hijack and Jerome Zerbib called in the small blind.

Xavier Kyablue: 10♥10♠ All in
Jerome Zerbib: A♣K♥

Kyablue was flipping for his tournament life, but the J♣A♦8♠ flop improved Zerbib to top pair and left Kyablue needing a miracle to stay alive. He didn't find any help on the 2♣ turn or J♥ river and Zerbib took the pot to send him to the rail.

Frank Visser

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

UFC fighter Colby Covington and high roller Aleksejs Ponakovs had created a pot of 100,000 chips when they arrived on a turn of 2♠Q♦8♦9♠. After an unseen action from Ponakovs, Covington put out 125,000 chips.

Ponakovs then raised all in, covering Covington's stack of roughly 320,000 chips. Covington went into the tank but eventually slammed in a call for his tournament life.

Colby Covington: A♦Q♥ All in
Aleksejs Ponakovs: 9♣2♣

The 3♥ river did not counterfeit Ponakov's two pair as Covington was sent to the rail.

Andy Spears opened to 20,000 from middle position and Andrew Rodgers moved all in for 150,000 from late position. Action folded back around to Spears, who called despite seeming unhappy with the situation.

Andrew Rodgers: 9♣9♠ All in
Andy Spears: Q♦J♦

Spears would need to connect to win the pot and did just that after the board ran out A♦4♠J♠A♠7♦ to send Rodgers out of the tournament.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Action picked up on the flop in a hand between Ben Collins in early position and John Duthie in late position.

With roughly 100,000 in the pot and the board reading 8♦6♥4♣, Collins check-called a bet of 85,000 from Duthie.

On the 7♣ turn, Collins checked again and Duthie moved all in, putting himself at risk. Collins quickly made the call.

John Duthie: 9♠7♠ All in
Ben Collins: 5♣5♥

The river brought the A♥ and Collins' straight ended Duthie's Main Event run.

Sandra Barbour

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Are we witnessing the greatest World Series of Poker (WSOP) ever?

No hyperbole, that's a genuine question. On Sunday, Scott Seiver won his third bracelet of the summer making him a lock to win the 2024 WSOP Player of the Year award. Or, so you'd think. But the latter part of that sentence couldn't be further from the truth.
