Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Poker's World Championship never disappoints when it comes to wild hands, and this year’s $10,000 Main Event is already living up to the reputation. From Aces over Kings just minutes into Day 1c to bracelet winner Faraz Jaka busting with seven-deuce, the action has been nonstop.
And if you were hoping for July 4th fireworks, look no further, because PokerNews reporter Stewart Morrison caught what might be one of the worst bad beats you'll see in this or any Main Event.

Alan Goasdoue raised to 40,000 from late position but then faced a three-bet from Pawel Brzeski on the button to 100,000. He countered with a cold four-bet jam all in for 270,000, which Brzeski snap called.
Alan Goasdoue: A♠J♠
Pawel Brzeski: 9♦9♥
A tasty flop of 7♦10♦9♣ came for Brzeski, and it wasn't looking good for Goasdoue, but when the Q♣ came on the turn, it gave him additional outs. The dealer peeled off the 8♣ on the river to make Goasdoue a gutshot straight and keep him alive in the event.

Preston Mcewen opened the hand with a raise to 55,000 from early position. Leo Lombardozzi chose to raise it to 140,000 from the big blind.
This raise sent Mcewen into the tank, as he thought over his situation. Mcewen eventually opted to raise all-in for 675,000 total. Lombardozzi could not get the chips in quickly enough to send them to a showdown with Mcewen at risk.
Preston Mcewen: A♠Q♥
Leo Lombardozzi: A♦A♣
Lombardozzi had the best starting hand in the game and had Mcewen on the ropes for piles of chips.
Mcewen was given some life when the flop came J♣Q♠8♠.
The turn was an ominous one as it came the 9♠ to give Mcewen flush outs as well as the remaining queens in the deck.
Lombardozzi's opportunity at building a huge stack was shattered when the 6♠ hit the river to save Mcewen and gash Lombardozzi.

Justin Zaki raised to 38,000 from the cutoff, and Shawn Daniels then three-bet all in from the big blind, and he had Zaki covered. Zaki went into the tank for a while and then made the call for his tournament life.
Justin Zaki: A♦9♣
Shawn Daniels: 5x5x
A near-perfect flop of A♣9♠Q♠ came for Zaki, and when the A♠ peeled off on the turn Daniels was drawing dead. The irrelevant 9♦ sealed the deal on the river, and Zaki was shipped the pot for a full double-up.

Dylan Lambe: 9♠9♣
Yu Zhang: A♣K♥
The dealer laid out 7♦Q♥5♦A♦7♣, and Zhang won the hand with the better two pair.

Ignacio Sole had a rough go of it over the course of two hands that led to his exit.
The first hand began when Ignacio Sole got it all in preflop against Casey Hatmaker with Hatmaker at risk.
Casey Hatmaker: A♣10♦
Ignacio Sole: A♦K♦
Sole had Hatmaker dominated as they headed to the runout, but the flop did not preserve his lead as it fanned out 10♥4♥2♣ to reverse their position. The 9♣ turn and the 10♣ river only served to help Hatmaker as Sole was left with 83,000.
The very next hand Sole shipped it for his remaining chips from early position and was called from middle position by Frederik Reinert to put Sole at risk.
Ignacio Sole: A♠4♠
Casey Hatmaker: A♣10♣
In a cruel twist of fate, Sole was up against the same hand, but this time he held the worst of it with the inferior ace.
The flop came out 6♥5♦9♥, which was of no help to Sole.
The 9♦ turn presented some chop outs, but the river did not convert on any of Sole's outs as it came the J♥.

Abhishek Paul raised from late position to 33,000 and received a call from Alex Keating in the small blind, and Noel Rodriguez also called from the big blind. The flop came out with J♥A♥9♠ and both blinds checked to the preflop raiser, who bet out 50,000. Keating called, and Rodriguez folded.
Both players checked the turn K♠.
On the river 3♠, Keating made a move for the pot and bet out 25,000. Paul raised 150,000, and Keating took some time and folded.
