There was not a lot of action early on the table, with only two flops seen in the first 10 hands. Jason Richard, who held the low stack coming in, pushed all in twice.
The second time he did so was a three-bet from the button, and was called by Yuliyan Kolev, the original raiser from the cutoff.
Jason Richard: A♥9♥
Yuliyan Kolev: A♠J♦
It didn't take long for the story of this hand to be told, as the flop 8♥3♥7♥ gave Richard an ace-high flush.
"I'm so sorry," he said, before the meaningless turn and river of 4♦5♦ were put on the felt.
Winning $1.2 million across three sessions on Hustler Casino Live during the Million Dollar Game isn't newsworthy. But doing so any other time of year is rare.
Henry Guttman, aka "King Henry," was the biggest winner on the show for three straight appearances over the past two weeks, and he more than doubled his lifetime HCL profits. The heater every poker player dreams about began on a June 11 stream where he won $276,250. It was just the start of a seven-figure run.
Welcome to Day 4 of Event #68: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em, at the Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas, where there are 16 hopefuls looking to win a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet and first-place prize of $830,685.
The competition is still wide open, as Fabrizio Gonzalez is the lone player with an eight-figure chip count at 11,525,000, a little more than 12 percent of the chips in play. Gonzalez has a long list of cashes and has won a circuit ring. His best WSOP finish is eighth place in a pot-limit Omaha event in 2015.
Romain Lewis and Yuliyan Kolev are the only bracelet winners left in what was a field of 2,338 entries generating a $6,242,460 prize pool. There are several accomplished players still in it, including popular personality and 25K Fantasy Draft pick Ren Lin.
Hamid Toghyan the Day 2 chip leader, is tenth in the counts. Kunal Patni, who is just outside the top ten with a little over 4,000,000 chips, has already secured back-to-back top-20 finishes in this event.
