Jamasi Gets Value

Josh Noy

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Bradley Hinson opened to 2,000 in early position and was called by Alan Ferraro in middle position. Miguel Capriles came along in the cutoff, with Farhad Jamasi defending his big blind.

All four players checked through the 10♥9♦8♦ flop and the dealer flipped over the 4♦ turn. Jamasi led out for 3,500, with only Hinson sticking around to see the 2♣ river.

Jamasi took a moment before announcing a bet of 4,000. Hinson tossed in the call, and Jamasi tabled 8♣8♥ for a flopped set of eights. That was good enough to claim the pot as Hinson mucked.

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante

Pei Li raised to 1,300 in the cutoff before Hye Park three-bet to 5,700 in the big blind. Li slid out the call and the dealer flipped over the 4♦10♦4♠ flop.

Park led out for 3,200, with Li calling to see the J♦ turn. Park led out again for 9,000 and Li called once more.

After the 8♠ river hit the felt, Park set one 1,000 chip aside and slid his remaining 22,400 into the middle. Li did not take long to announce all in, asking for Park's final chip.

Park took some time before giving up his hand, and Li raked in a big pot. After the hand, Park told Li that he folded pocket kings, much to his opponent's dismay.

Pei Li	127,000

Hye Park	1,000

However, while all records may eventually fall, these achievements are currently some of the most jaw-dropping in WSOP history. Will any of them ever be broken? Only time will tell. For now, though, here are the most incredible WSOP records that will (probably) never be broken.
