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.

Dimitar Danchev :Q♠9♠
The board ran out K♦4♠Q♣9♥10♠ securing the win for Danchev. Foxen ran out of betting chips after that hand, but she told a tablemate that she plans to reenter so we will likely see her again soon.

Arriving at the table to see a board of Q♥8♠4♥Q♣. Brian Rast had bet 5,000 from the small blind, and the player in the big blind called. Then, the player seated under the gun raised to 12,000. With the action back on Rast, he three-bet all in for roughly 33,000. After the big blind got out of the way, the under the gun player made call.
Brian Rast: Q♦9♦
Under the gun: 10♠10♥
A blank 6♠ on the river meant Rast was the one who dragged in the pot.
