After a raise from early position to 3,700, Bob Kumar reraised to 12,200 from the cutoff. The under-the-gun player put in a four-bet to 30,700. The early position player called before Bob Kumar made the call by moving all in, with an effective stack of 14,900.
The under-the-gun player then attempted to move all in as well, before the table alerted him to the fact that Kumar's shove was a call, not a raise, and it was not yet his action. At this point, the player announced he was shoving in the dark, with 22,200 behind.

Controversy struck the 2022 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Event #38: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw Championship when Phil Hellmuth went on break only to discover his chips had been swiped by defending champion Farzad Bonyadi, who wasn't at-fault in the incident.
On break, as the tournament dwindled down to 21 players, the staff broke the fourth table, leaving just three remaining tables. When the "Poker Brat" returned, he noticed his chips were gone and that they had somehow ended up in Bonyadi's possession.
Immediately after the situation arose, the WSOP staff approached the table to investigate. There was no doubt that Hellmuth had a stack in play before leaving the table, but it wasn't clear the exact size of his stack. The surveillance camera was reviewed to determine the size of Hellmuth's stack, which the 16-time bracelet winner estimated was more than 130,000.
While the investigation occurred, PokerNews spoke with Hellmuth to hear his side of the story.

After an initial raise to 2,400 was called by four players, action landed on Jose Jaraiz in the big blind. He reraised to 19,700. The under-the-gun player jammed. Action folded back around to Jaraiz, who would be the at-risk player should he make the call. After a minute or two of thought, he made the call, putting the rest of his stack, around 20,000, into the pot.

. His frustrations grew as the
turn hit the table, as this would have completed his nut flush, but more relevantly it gave Jaraiz's opponent a gutshot straight draw. That draw wouldn't hit though, as the
came on the river, locking up the pot for Jaraiz, who doubled up and took a big chunk out of his opponent's big stack, which was well over 100,000 before the hand had started.
