With two players seeing a board of 8♣3♣2♥2♣ and about 550,000 in the middle, [Removed:554] checked from the big blind and Jared Bleznick bet 225,000 from the hijack. [Removed:555] made the call.
On the 9♣ turn [Removed:555] led out with a bet of 325,000 sending Bleznick deep into the tank.
Bleznick went through several time banks as he weighed his options.
"I play too much PLO" Bleznick commented before flicking in the call. [Removed:555] could only show 10♠8♠ for eights and twos while Bleznick showed down the nut-flush with A♣6♣ to take a sizable pot from [Removed:555].

Nothing beats hitting a Royal Flush deep in poker's biggest event of the year, especially when it leads to a double-up.
Not only that, but Day 7 of the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event has seen a straight flush hit, and the start-of-day chip leader didn't even make it close to dinner break. Oh, and there's a strong possibility the world championship event will have its first woman at the final table since 1995. Are you not entertained?
