2024 World Series of Poker
Michael Weinstock in the big blind was all in for 100,000 or so chips against Edouard Mignot in the hijack.
Michael Weinstock: A♦6♣
Edouard Mignot: A♠A♥
The board ran out 2♥5♥10♦4♣ to give Weinstock a chance, but the 9♣ river sealed his fate as he joined the legions of players headed toward the exit.
Gregory Fournier checked from early position to Jiang Pu on a flop of 8♣10♣J♥. Pu then made a bet from the hijack, which Fournier raised to 35,000.
Pu shoved all in for a little over 100,000 chips and Fournier immediately called to put his opponent at risk.
Jiang Pu: A♥A♦
Gregory Fournier: K♥K♦
The Q♦ turn made Fournier open-ended, and he hit the 9♥ river to make a straight and crack Pu's aces with his kings. Both players made a picture of the runout before Pu said his goodbyes from the Main Event.
On another table, Eric Wasserson was one of the recently eliminated players.
Thomas Brown opened the action with a raise to 8,000 from middle position. Ahmed Nimer called in the cutoff before Nando Keldermans moved al in for 126,000 from the big blind. Thomas Brown reraised all in for 166,000 and Miner got out of the way.
Nando Keldermans: K♥K♦
Thomas Brown: A♥A♦
A cold deck for Keldermans, the board ran out A♠6♦J♠6♣10♦ and he was eliminated.
At last year's Main Event, Jeppe Bisgaard was one of three individuals eliminated on the bubble after running kings into aces. Although he fell short of the money, Bisgaard did receive his buy-in back as part of a three-way chop of two min cashes in addition to securing a seat in this year's edition after winning a blind all in with the two other players who bubbled. He was, however, unable to parlay that into a cash to bring his total return on investment across the two tournaments to exactly $0.
Jayphong Nguyen opened to 3,000 from middle position and was called by Patsy Altomari in the cutoff as well as Adam Nattress on the button. Bisgaard then moved all in for his last 29,000 out of the small blind. Nguyen responded by raising to 55,000, forcing the two other players out of the hand.
Jeppe Bisgaard: Q♥J♠
Jayphong Nguyen: K♠K♣
Bisgaard had run his short stack directly into a premium holding and was not even offered a sweat on the 3♦7♣2♥4♣A♣ runout as his main event came to a premature end. Should the Dane choose to take another shot next year, he will have to pony up $10,000 just like everyone else
