On Day 4 of the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, the 1,518th place finisher has busted. And that means every player still standing is guaranteed to go home with money and a profit.

The top 1,517 players in poker's most prestigious annual event are now all guaranteed at least $15,000, with the potential to win as much as $10 million. But for two players — Lucas Reeves and Christian Stratmeyer — the dream of winning all that money and becoming world champion ended Wednesday at quite an inopportune time. For one individual, the dream died in a kings versus aces situation, and the player with kings had a big stack.
