Action was joined with Yehuda Buchalter being put at risk by Hanna Khalaf.
Yehuda Buchalter: 8♦6♦5♣3♠
Hanna Khalaf: A♦K♦J♦5♥
The board ran out A♥9♠2♦6♥6♣. "I think I got all of it," said Buchalter, who would be receiving the entire pot due to his three eights with a six-five low. Buchalter let out a groan to laughs from the table as he explained that he would have preferred to lose the hand, presumably to re-enter. " Buchalter wondered aloud if he could surrender his stack.

The 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) was the largest in history with 10,043 players, and for one player it proved to be a record-extending affair. From 2010-14, poker pro Ronnie Bardah cashed the WSOP Main Event a record five times, which was recognized on various ESPN broadcasts. However, that record seems to have fallen by the wayside as first brought to light by @TARKPOKER on Twitter.
You see, one player has managed to cash the WSOP Main Event, at least the live version, a record seven consecutive times (2016-23). The pandemic threw a monkey wrench into things in 2020 with the WSOP concocting an online-live hybrid Main Event, so technically this player didn’t cash every year. However, he has cashed the last seven live Main Events, an unrivaled accomplishment.
Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better
Andres Korn raised preflop. The player in the small blind came along, as did the player under the gun who had originally limped.
