Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

In poker, like in life, they say records are meant to be broken.

But sometimes, someone sets a milestone that just feels impossible to top. Whether it’s because of insane skill, perfect timing, a bit of luck, or a mix of all three, the World Series of Poker has seen some feats over the years that seem like they’ll never be matched.

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.

Gabrielle Barredo

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Thien Tran opened to 23,000 under the gun and got the man immediately to his left, Kaiwen Chen to call. Action folded to the big blind and Nicholas Verdugo shoved all-in for 47,000. Both Tran and Chen flat called, prompting Verdugo to say, "Good luck, boys. You'll need it."

The board ran 10♥7♣8♦J♣K♦ with Tran and Chen checking it down.

Verdugo tabled 7♥7♠ for a set on the flop while Tran showed A♦J♦. Chen mucked his hand. The dealer pushed the pot towards Verdugo for a triple up and as he was fixing his stack, he couldn't help but say, "I told you so."

Player	Chips	Progress
Kaiwen Chen	2,055,000 759,000	759,000
Thien Tran	510,000 78,000	78,000

Sava Krink

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Dai Ishibashi opened from the cutoff and was met with a three-bet to 53,000 from Ryan Speak on the button. With action back on him, Ishibashi didn’t shy away, he responded with a four-bet to 185,000.

After a brief pause, Speak made the call, and the two saw a flop of 6♣J♠J♣.

Ishibashi kept the pressure on with a bet of 80,000, and Speak came along with a call.

When the 4♦ hit the turn, Ishibashi reached for chips again and fired 130,000. That final barrel proved too much for Speak, who gave up his hand, sending the pot to Ishibashi.

Player	Chips	Progress
Dai Ishibashi	755,000 310,000	310,000
Ryan Speak	565,000 215,000	215,000

Gabrielle Barredo

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

On a pot of around 200,000 and a board of 8♥6♣9♣5♠, Jean Lhuillier bet 75,000 and got called by Dakota Baggett in early position.

When the river 5♥ fell, Baggett didn't waste any time in shoving all-in for around 320,000 sending Lhuillier to the tank. Lhuillier asked for a count then stared directly at Baggett for sometime.

He counted his chips and picked up 350,000 looking like he would make the call. He finally put the chips back to his stack and folded conceding the huge pot to Baggett.

Dakota Baggett	820,000 7,000	7,000
Jean Lhuillier	640,000 20,000	20,000

Stewart Morrison

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Jon Vallinas kicked the action off with a raise in early position to 20,000. On his direct left, Pablo Garcia put in a three-bet to 50,000. The action then folded to the big-stacked Adrien Delmas, who put in a cold four-bet to 132,000.

Vallinas was quick to fold his cards, and after a minute or so of consideration, Garcia followed suit, returning his cards to the dealer.

Player	Chips	Progress
Adrien Delmas	1,120,000 503,000	503,000
Pablo Garcia	515,000 191,000	191,000

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Alen Tenorio opened his button to 22,000, which Yosef Negussie three-bet to 80,000 in the small blind. Tenorio clicked it back to 165,000, and Negussie responded with a five-bet to 400,000.

Tenorio then moved all in, and Negussie called off for 575,000 in total.

Yosef Negussie: A♦10♥ All in
Alen Tenorio: K♠K♥

Negussie needed to hit running aces after the 6♠6♥K♦ flop made Tenorio a full house. The 10♣ turn left Negussie drawing dead, rendering the 4♣ river meaningless.

Player	Chips	Progress
Alen Tenorio	2,165,000 1,275,000	1,275,000
Michal Schuh	1,335,000 498,000	498,000
