At Mustapha Kanit's table, players reported that Gil Arenstein just won a big pot. Arenstein and his tablemates explained that he opened to 8,000 from the hijack and that the player to his left three-bet to 17,000. Arenstein four-bet to 44,000 and his opponent called.
On a flop of Jx8x7x, Arenstein continued for 52,000, the cutoff shoved and Arenstein called.
Cutoff: JxJx 
Gil Arenstein: AxAx
The cutoff was on his way to double up after he hit a full house on the 8x turn. But the Ax river landed on the felt to give a better full house to Arenstein who sent his opponent to the rail.

Move over Shaun Deeb, Phil Hellmuth, Daniel Negreanu, and anyone else chasing the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Player of the Year award. There's now a clear-cut frontrunner in the race almost midway through the series, and his name is Scott Seiver.
The newly minted six-time bracelet winner took down Event #40: $1,500 Razz on Sunday for $141,374, beating out 547 players. In doing so, he won his second bracelet of the summer, and is now atop the WSOP Player of the Year standings.
