Kirk Brown

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

After calling a bet of 65,000 on a flop of A♥K♦K♠ and checking through the turn 8♦, Daniel Negreanu moved all in on the river J♦.

His opponent went into the tank for almost a minute before he made the call to put Negreanu at risk.

Negreanu then tabled A♣K♣7♥3♥ for a big full house to beat the K♥Q♦10♠6♥ straight of his opponent to secure the double.

"Agh, let 'em know I played it badly, I just got lucky," Negreanu told PokerNews as he raked the pot.

A controversial hand took place deep on Day 2 of Event #20: $300 Gladiators of Poker No-Limit Hold'em involving Men “The Master” Nguyen that saw a player allege that he was shorted several million chips, and busting before the matter could be resolved.

The Gladiator attracted over 20,000 entries — the biggest of the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) so far — with 14 players bagging at the end of Monday's play.

One of the players who will not be winning that six-figure payday or the bracelet is Brian Smith, who was involved in one of the most controversial hands of the summer.
