Matthew Alsante opened to 1,200,000 from the button, then Philip Wiszowaty in the small blind counted his stack before announcing "all-in". Oleg Vasylchenko in the big blind folded to Alsante, who didn't seem very happy to call, but he did so.
Matthew Alsante: A♥K♠
Philip Wiszowaty: 10♥10♠
In this 37,800,000 chip pot, almost 75% of the chips in play, Alsante found a straight draw with the Q♣J♠4♥ flop. The 8♦ didn't change anything, but the 10♦ river completed Alsante's straight. He is now the massive chipleader of the tournament.

At the 2023 World Series of Poker, poker player Cody Daniels inspired the poker community with his strength and determination when taking on Poker's World Championship while battling a terminal illness.
This summer, the Lake Havasu City native returned to the WSOP, first playing Event #70: $400 Colossus before hopping into the record-breaking 2024 WSOP Main Event. Daniels managed to navigate the bubble, which burst earlier in the afternoon, and currently sits with a stack of 300,000 (25 big blinds) at the halfway point of Day 4.
In the midst of his pursuit of the WSOP Main Event bracelet and the $10 million first-place prize, PokerNews caught up with the 29-year-old. Daniels shared his experiences, emotions, and the extraordinary support he's received throughout his journey.
The remaining four players have been sent on another 15-minute break.
Ramin Hajiyev moved all in for 1,425,000 from the cutoff and Philip Wiszowaty made the call from the big blind.
Ramin Hajiyev: Q♠Q♦
Philip Wiszowaty: K♥Q♣
Hajiyev needed to hold to stay alive, and his prospects looked promising on the 8♣7♥3♠4♦ runout. However, the K♠ river saw Wiszowaty take the lead and Hajiyev was sent to the rail in a brutal fashion.
