2024 World Series of Poker
The hijack opened to 30,000 and Brandon Brown three-bet jammed a stack of 180,000 on the button. The small blind called and the hijack also called.
Both players checked on the 9♥Q♥K♠ flop and the same action took place on the 5♥ turn. Both players checked once more on the A♣ river.
The small blind showed 8♥8♠ to be in front of the 6♠6♣ of the hijack, but neither player could beat out the A♠2♠ of Brown as he secured a triple.
Koray Aldemir was involved in a three-way all in, having both of his opponents covered. One opponent had 185,000 to start the hand, while John Kim had 125,000 to start the hand.
John Kim: AxKx
Opponent: KxKx
Koray Aldemir: A♠Q♠
The board ran out 6xQxQx4x7x and Aldemir's three of a kind, queens, eliminated both of his opponents.
Picking up the action partway through the hand, Jesse Lonis in late position had Asko Muratovic in middle position all in and at risk.
Asko Muratovic: 8♥8♣
Jesse Lonis: 10♠10♥
Muratovic was on the wrong end of a preflop cooler and found no help on the 6♣4♥9♠Q♦J♠ runout to hit the rail late in Day 4. Lonis, meanwhile, passed the three million chip mark after winning the pot to put himself among the tournament leaders.
Patrick Clarke raised to 30,000 from under the gun and Christopher Victor clicked it up to 60,000 from the next seat for the Irishman to call. Both checked the J♥10♠3♦ flop and Clarke checked the 9♣ turn. Victor bet 70,000 but folded when Clarke check-raised to 260,000.
Luis Vazquez had just busted Ari Engel when he got involved in another big pot shortly afterward.
Around 200,000 was already in the middle on a board of K♦7♥9♣10♥ when Vazquez bet 115,000 from the big blind. An under-the-gun player raised to 230,000 and Vazquez instantly reraised to 515,000.
His opponent tanked for several minutes before calling for around 300,000 more and turning over A♦K♣ for top pair. Vazquez, though, had 7♣7♠ for a set and the at-risk player was already drawing dead before the 6♣ fell on the river.
"I'll have what he's having," a tablemate said as Vazquez raked in the pot.
"Alright, who's next," Vazquez joked.
