Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Iaron Lightbourne raised to 55,000 from the hijack and Alejandro Lococo called out of the big blind.

A flop of 5♦9♠K♣ saw Lococo check, Lightbourne bet 40,000, Lococo raised to 130,000, and Lightbourne called.

On the 10♠ turn, Lococo fired another bet of 215,000, which Lightbourne called.

When the 7♦ landed on the river, Lococo continued telling his story with a bet of 560,000, which got Lightbourne to fold.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

A shorter-stacked Brandon Brown was all-in with the Q♥J♥ and he was dominated by John Andress with the A♠J♣.

Neither player connected with the 9♠5♦2♠K♦2♦ runout and the ace was enough to send Brown to the rail.

Jon Sofen

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Less than one week ago, two well-known poker pros said their car was broken into outside a Las Vegas restaurant, and a substantial amount of money was stolen.

Days later and both players — Mo Nuwwarah and Josh Reichard — are deep together in the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, perhaps the result of some good karma (and of course skill).

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

One of the most classic setups in Texas Hold'em unfolded over on table 666 when Anthony Wise and Jan Nakladal got their chips into the middle with Wise as the player at risk.

Anthony Wise: K♠K♥ All in
Jan Nakladal: A♥A♣

The 9♠4♠2♣ flop gave Wise some hope with running spades, one of which he caught with the 2♠ turn. However, the miracle escape came up short as the 9♥ river sealed his fate.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

A large crowd and a host of cameras began gathering around the table as Diogo Coelho and Abdelhakim Zoufri went heads-up to the river on a board of 7♠J♠4♥K♠K♦.

According to tablemate Laurent Manderlier, Coelho had raised to 50,000 under the gun, then called when Zoufri three-bet to 150,000 in the hijack.

Both players checked the flop and Coelho led out for 50,000 on the turn. Zoufri then raised to 250,000 and Zoufri called.

"This hand has taken 15 minutes already," Manderlier said. Coelho then moved all in for 1,330,000 on the river, sending Zoufri deep into the tank.

He continued to consider the decision for another few minutes before he slid his cards into the muck and Coelho took the pot while the crowd began to disperse.
