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

Action folded around to the cutoff who raised to 55,000, and Nicolas Vayssieres three-bet to 145,000 on the button. Tyler Hirschfeld then four-bet shoved from the big blind for 665,000. The cutoff folded and Vayssieres flicked in the call, covering Hirschfeld.

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.
Alex Massman opened from the hijack then called when Fausto Valdez moved almost all-in for approximately 150,000 from the cutoff.
On a flop of J♠10♠A♦, Massman bet 15,000 and Valdez eventually called with the 15,000 chips he had left.
Fausto Valdez: 6♠6♦
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.
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♥
Brian Barker: 9x6x
The river K♥ was safe for Maimone, and his straight awarded him the pot and the double up.
A flop of 9♥3♥8♦ was seen on the table and Tyler Hirschfeld had bet 80,000 into it before Artem Metalidi made it 400,000. Hirschfeld shoved all in, and Metalidi called off his last 200,000 chips.
Artem Metalidi: 10♥10♠
Tyler Hirschfeld: A♠K♠
Metalidi survived as neither the 8♣ turn nor 6♠ river helped Hirschfeld.
