Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Action picked up on the turn in a hand between Nick Maimone, who was all-in and at risk, and Brian Barker.

On a board that read 9♠6♦7♥5♥, Maimone was ahead, with one card to come.

Nick Maimone: 8♣8♥ All in
Brian Barker: 9x6x

The river K♥ was safe for Maimone, and his straight awarded him the pot and the double up.

Fausto Valdez: 6♠6♦ All in
Alex Massman: J♦J♥

Valdez couldn't do much against Massman's set and he was eliminated after the K♣ turn and the 2♦ river.

Sandra Barbour

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Here's a name you'd better start learning the rest of the summer — Darius Samual. That isn't a household name in poker yet, but it will be soon.

The poker player from England entered the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) with less than $100,000 in live tournament cashes, according to The Hendon Mob. Twelve days into the series, there's an argument to be made that he's one of a few "players to beat" regarding WSOP Player of the Year.

And, here's what's really crazy — Samual gambled half his poker bankroll in one event just to get to this point.

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Gabriel Andrade shoved for 165,000 from middle position, and he was called by Stefan Atanasov in the cutoff.

Gabriel Andrade: Q♦J♦ All in
Stefan Atanasov: K♥K♦

"Please let me f*** you," Andrade joked when he flipped over his cards. Everybody laughed around the table, but on a board of 10♥2♥6♣9♥3♣, he didn't manage to do what he wanted and was eliminated.
