Shaun Deeb's run in the 2023 World Series of Poker Main Event has come to an end.
According to the other players at the table, he got his last 75,000 chips in preflop with ace-queen against Ryan Stoker's ace-king and failed to pull ahead against the bigger ace.
Camille Brown was heads-up from the big blind against Darryll Fish on the button on a K♥8♥10♦7♣ board. Brown bet 11,000 and Fish called.
The 9♥ completed the board and Brown sized up for a 31,000 bet. Fish pondered a bit, but thought better of it and let his hand go — awarding the pot to Brown.
A player in the small blind moved all in for 160,000 before Adi Rajkovic, in middle position, called all in for his last 114,000. Terrance Sanders snap-called having both players well covered.
Adi Rajkovic: Q♠Q♣
Small Blind: A♣K♦
Terrance Sanders: A♦A♥
Sanders had woken up with aces and was poised for a double knockout until the flop brought Q♦4♣Q♥, giving Rajkovic quads. The board ran out 5♦3♦ and Rajkovic tripled up, while Sanders took the side pot to send the small blind to the rail.
Donald Crabtree opened to 12,000 from late position and was then three-bet by Blair Hinkle in the cutoff to 33,000. The action folded back around to Crabtree who made the call to see a flop of Q♦9♥A♦.
Both players checked through to the 3♦ turn and Crabtree led out for 55,000 to which Hinkle promptly folded to award him the pot.
Action was joined on the 4♦4♣K♥ flop with Koen Breed betting 7,000 under the gun. Andy Dinh, the button, raised to 16,000. "I just won the pot," said a smiling Dinh. Breed contemplated for a few moments before raising to 40,000.
"Sh*t," said Dinh in response. "Huh. I guess I have to call," he said, tossing in chips.
The Q♥ arrived on the turn, and Breed led out for 20,000. Dinh waited a few moments before putting in the call.
The river brought the 5♦. Breed bet 35,000, and Dinh appeared unsure of his next move. "If I fold, will you show me?" he asked Breed, who remained motionless. "No?" added Dinh. After considering for a few more moments, Dinh said that he was making a bad call and announced that he was calling. Breed turned over A♥K♣, and Dinh flashed Kx10x as he folded.

Orestis Kanakopoulos raised in early position to 10,000, finding one caller in the big blind.
The flop came 6♥8♠Q♦ to which the big blind check-called a bet of 7,000 from Kanakopoulos.
The turned K♣ saw a repeat of the action, this time Kanakopoulos betting 30,000.
The K♠ river saw the big blind check once more. Kanakopoulos bet 175,000; more than enough to put his opponent all in for their tournament life.
After some time in the tank, Kanakopoulos's opponent tossed their cards into the muck.
After some preflop raising had taken place, the small blind had put in 100,000 chips and the action was back on American Football Hall of Famer Richard Seymour. He jammed all in for 234,000 and brought despair upon his opponent.
"This is bad for me, you know?" the small blind said. Seymour just responded with a smile.
Eventually, he made the call, asking "Ace-king?"
Richard Seymour: A♥K♥
Small Blind: J♠J♦
Seymour's opponent had guessed correctly, but his prior detrimental gut feeling was also correct when the board came out 9♥10♠3♣A♠8♠ to give Seymour a pair of aces and the double-up.
On another table, Joshua Weissman was one of the final players to leave Silver involuntarily.
A player on the button raised to 10,000 before Allen Kessler shoved all in from the big blind for 76,000. The button gave it some thought but eventually decided to call.
Allen Kessler: A♣A♠
Button: 8♠8♥
Kessler had picked up aces and finished with a set on the 3♠6♠9♣A♦2♦ board to double up. "I only looked at the spade. I decided if I had an ace I was going to shove," Kessler admitted after the hand.
