While the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event final table is underway, there is another final table steps away inside the Horseshoe Events Center that will be of interest to poker fans.

The $25,000 High Roller H.O.R.S.E. event is down to just nine players, two of whom have a chance to make some history. Phil Ivey is attempting to win his 12th WSOP bracelet, while Scott Seiver is hoping to become the first player in history to win four bracelets in one year, and also lock up WSOP Player of the Year.

Day 3 of the high stakes mixed game tournament has already been quite intense, with the elimination of Matt Glantz in 10th place out of 120 entrants, and the leaderboard changing drastically from the start an hour into the session. At the time of publishing, Seiver's stack had significantly increased since play began, while Ivey's chip count hadn't moved much.

Brian Kim: K6 All in
Niklas Astedt: 1010

Kim shook his head as the cards were turned over, and watched as Astedt flopped a set on Q108

Running cards were needed for Kim to survive, and one of them came with the 5 turn, but Kim could not pull off the miracle escape as the 6 river ended his run in seventh place for $1,500,000.

Five-Bet Shove Costs Brian Kim a Shot at WSOP Main Event Title

We've already seen a few interesting hands at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event final table on Tuesday, and one will certainly be talked about on podcasts and blogs in the coming days.

The hand we're referring to occurred a little over three hours into the session, and it involved one of the most successful players at the table — Brian Kim, a Los Angeles poker pro with over $7.3 million in live tournament cashes prior to the Main Event, according to The Hendon Mob. He'll be adding $1.5 million to that number, but it could have been much higher if not for one interesting hand.
