Action picked up on the turn in a hand between Jonas Christensen, who was under the gun and Pedro Neves, in the big blind.
With over 5,000,000 in the pot and the board reading 4♠J♣9♠6♦, Neves check-called a bet of 3,500,000 from Christensen.

Neves turned over JxJx, for a set of jacks, besting Christensen's 6x6x, for a set of sixes. Christensen was left with less than one big blind.

Joshua Payne: A♦3♦
The flop came 5♦10♠4♣, with Payne picking up additional outs with a gutshot. The 4♦ turn provided even more outs, now giving Payne flush outs with a diamond.

Slowrolling — it's a divisive topic in the poker world. Some players take great joy in taking part in the act, while for others, it's their biggest pet peeve when at the table.
There have been plenty of examples that have made headlines over the years, with Nik Airball's slowroll on Ethan 'Rampage' Yau on Hustler Casino Live being a recent case study.
And now, at the 2024 World Series of Poker, we may have seen the biggest slowroll of the summer so far.
