Wells tabled aces full of queens, which bested Rheem's flush for the pot.

Wells whispered to Rheem that he had filled out his last card, and Rheem replied, "Very nice."

Shortly after, Mark Fisher was seen leaving the table, stunned how his jack-high straight was beaten. His eliminator was Yuri Dzivielevski, who had nines full of sixes. Fisher showed the table a nine and a six for a couple of blockers before departing.

In the 895th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway is joined by Mike Holtz and four-time bracelet winner Jeff Madsen to dive into the world of the ultra-rich at the World Series of Poker.

In the second half of the episode, Chad sits down with two prominent voices in the high-stakes scene to further peel back the curtain on poker’s elite.
