The player under the gun opened for 5,000, Alexander Kell jammed all in for 37,000, and Dan Shak four-bet all in for 72,000.
The player under the gun eventually folded, after which Shak stood pat. Kell thought about it for a while before drawing one card, and the players showed down.

Kelly allegedly broke a ten-nine, and he was rewarded as a 7x gave him a superior hand, and he doubled up.

Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 3,500 ante
Arriving to the table with 50,000 chips in the middle and after the draws had happened. The player in the small blind checked to Christopher Claassen in the big blind.
Claassen then jammed all in for 64,000, sending the small blind into the tank. Eventually, he made the call, leaving himself just 1,500 in chips behind.
Claassen showed 7x6x5x3x2x for a seven-low, and the small blind merely flashed his cards before adding them to the muck.
The small blind was eliminated by Patrick Leonard the next hand. Leonard then told PokerNews that Claassen would definitely be inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame later in his career.

Life Outside Poker is a new podcast for PokerNews hosted by Connor Richards that seeks to pull back the curtain on poker players and allow viewers and listeners to get to know them on a personal level.
In the eighth episode, Connor speaks with legendary UFC ring announcer Bruce Buffer in an exclusive in-depth interview after Buffer's deep run in the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) $50,000 High Roller. Buffer, a longtime poker player, finished in eighth place for a career-best $212,423 after kicking off Day 3 with his trademark "it's time" introduction.
Buffer talked about finding his long-lost half-brother, Michael Buffer, and becoming his manager, the early days of the UFC, the similarities between poker and martial arts, his relationships with Joe Rogan and Dana White, playing poker with Tobey Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio and the time he injured himself in a poker tournament before announcing the biggest UFC fight in history.
The Life Outside Poker podcast is available on major streaming platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and iHeartRadio. You can also watch the interview with Bruce Buffer by heading to the PokerNews YouTube channel.
