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.
24 players remain as they head for a 60-minute dinner break. Play is expected to resume at 6:55 p.m.
Shaun Deeb opened to 60,000 from under the gun and John Armbrust called in middle position. In the small blind, Grant Dekker jammed for 260,000, Deeb rejammed, and Armbrust let it go.
Grant Dekker: 8♠8♥
Shaun Deeb: A♠K♠
The board ran out J♥7♦2♥6♥K♥ and Dekker made a flush on the river to find the full double.
