Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Are we witnessing the greatest World Series of Poker (WSOP) ever?

No hyperbole, that's a genuine question. On Sunday, Scott Seiver won his third bracelet of the summer making him a lock to win the 2024 WSOP Player of the Year award. Or, so you'd think. But the latter part of that sentence couldn't be further from the truth.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Kevin Rand opened from the hijack and Alex Foxen in the big blind three-bet. Rand made the call, then called after Foxen continued for 4,800 on A♦6♥10♦.

The Q♥ turn was checked by Foxen. Rand bet 11,400 and Foxen called to find the 8♦ river where he checked.

Rand pushed forward a pile of red chips worth 5,000 each for a total of 40,000, more than Foxen's stack. It didn't take long for Foxen to call.

Alex Foxen: A♣K♦ All in
Kevin Rand: A♥Q♣

Foxen had top pair, but he ran into Rand's two pair and was eliminated.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Chris Hunichen had defended from the big blind to a button raise and seen the flop of 4♠6♣K♥ fall. Hunichen checked, and the button bet 1,200. Hunichen then check-raised to 4,000 and the button called.

Hunichen bet 9,000 on the 10♥ turn which his opponent called.

The 7♦ came on the river, completing the board. Hunichen fired out 25,000 into the middle. A few moments later, his opponent moved all in for 42,700. Hunichen was visibly distressed by the raise. Ultimately, he made the call and was shown K♠K♦ for a set by the button. Hunichen turned over 6♦4♦ for a flopped two pair as most of his chips were sent over to his opponent.
