Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action was picked up on a heads-up flop of K♠5♦K♥ between Toshio Nanao and Michael Aron, who bet 4,000. Nanao called. The turn showed J♠. Nanao check-called again, now for 18,000, to see the river 4♣.

For the showdown, Nanao check-called a bet of 45,000 without a doubt.

Aron immediately showed his A♦K♥. Nanao revealed his J♠10♠, and slowly realized he didn't have the winning hand. Aron won with trip kings and took all the chips from the middle of the table.

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.
