Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Lin Chen opened from the hijack before Christopher Cunliffe left a single green 1,000 chip behind as he three-bet from the cutoff. Action folded back around to Chen, who put Cunliffe all in.

Cunliffe used his time banks while waiting to see if any other eliminations were happening around him, before finally tossing in his final chip.

Christopher Cunliffe: A♠A♣ All in
Lin Chen: 5♠5♦

Cunliffe showed down his pocket aces, holding through the J♦6♣10♠2♣4♥ runout to double up through Chen.

Bracelet Win Was a "Huge Weight Off" 888poker's Vivian Saliba's Shoulders

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

During the 2024 World Series of Poker Europe at King's Resort, Rozvadov, 888poker ambassador Vivian Saliba captured her first WSOP bracelet. It was a case of fifth time lucky for the popular Brazilian who had previously navigated her way to four WSOP final tables but fell short of the bracelet each time.

The final table of the €2,000 Pot-Limit Omaha went differently for Saliba. She eventually found herself heads-up against Germany's Markus Anheier with a commanding 3:1 lead. However, Anheier doubled, and history was in danger of repeating itself.

Saliba stuck to her guns, got lucky herself, and then had Anheier back on the ropes. All of Anheier's chips went into the middle after he flopped two pair versus Saliba's middle pair and flush draw. The flush came in on the turn, the river bricked, and Saliba finally became a WSOP champion. How did that feel?

"Oh, it was a relief! I've gotten close many times. This was my fifth final table, but I've had a 10th, 11th, 16th, 19th, and 22nd, so winning took a huge weight off my shoulders because after failing so many times and being close, you start doubting yourself and asking will this ever happen?"

"So, I'm very happy to have one shiny accessory right now, and I'm looking to accumulate more in the future."
