Kannapong Thanarattrakul: K♥6♥
Addamo was in a great spot to double up having Thanarattrakul dominated. Once the board ran out 5♠Q♦10♥3♦2♣ the ace high of Addamo was still best, giving him the double up.

Ben Heath opened in middle position and Isaac Haxton called in the cutoff before Monika Zukowicz three-bet jammed a stack of about 505,000 in the small blind.
Aleksejs Ponakovs then four-bet shoved a stack of around 1,600,000 in the big blind. Heath folded and Haxton used a time extension before folding.
Monika Zukowicz: 8♣8♦
Aleksejs Ponakovs: A♠K♥
"I almost want to close my eyes," Zukowicz said as she flipped in the biggest spot of her career. Unfortunately for the streamer, the flop landed K♦3♣7♦ to give Ponakovs a big lead as the board finished out A♥3♦ to mark Zukowicz' elimination.

Action folded to Michael Moncek on the button with Q♠Q♣, and he raised to 60,000. He was called by Phil Ivey in the big blind with Q♥4♠.
After the 9♥6♠4♥ flop, Ivey check-called a bet of 55,000.
The turn brought the 3♦ and Ivey again check-called a bet from Moncek, this time for 130,000.
After the 6♥ on the river, Ivey checked to Moncek who bet to put Ivey all in for his stack of 255,000. After using multiple time banks, Ivey elected to make the call. He was shown the pocket queens of Moncek and Ivey was sent to the rail early on Day 2.

This interview was filmed in July at the 2024 WSOP inside Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise series is underway, and poker players attending should be aware of a rule change that will impact the use of electronic devices at the table.
Jonathan Tamayo won the WSOP Main Event for $10 million this past summer in Las Vegas. Controversy surrounded the victory after poker fans noticed his rail, which included poker pros Joe McKeehen and Dominik Nitsche, had a laptop open with apparent real-time assistance (RTA) software visible.
Tamayo would occasionally converse with his rail during the final table, and that led some to question if he had an unfair advantage. But no one has presented any evidence to prove he broke any rules or won the tournament because of an edge gained from his rail. Still, the WSOP did not have a rule in place to prevent potential controversies such as this from arising. They do now, however.
There are a few other additional new rules for the series, including banning electronic devices at the table altogether when a tournament is down to three tables. Players are also not permitted to place their cell phones or any electronic devices on the table or table rail during play.
