Jesse Klein: XxXx / 4♥A♥K♠8♠ / Xx
Ben Yu: XxXx / Q♥7♠ - folded on fourth street
David Oppenheim: XxXx / 6♠9♣5♦3♣ / Xx
Elior Sion: XxXx / 6♣K♦5♠Q♦ / Xx

Klein lead again on fifth and both called again. On fifth, Klein bet all-in for 10,000, Oppenheim completed the bet to 80,000, and Sion called before seventh street checked through.
Oppenheim revealed 8♣6♦5♣ in the hole for two pair, Sion had A♦J♦4♣ in the hole for ace-high, and Klein had 10♥9♠2♥ for a missed flush draw and ace-high. Oppenheim's two pair was enough to scoop, and the 2021 champion Klein was eliminated.

No waiting until the voting process takes place next June. Put him in now.
That's what Phil Hellmuth and Daniel Negreanu say about getting Michael Mizrachi, who could be less than 24 hours away from winning the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, into the Poker Hall of Fame.
Hellmuth, who feuded with Nick Palma during a WSOP event over an unrelated issue Tuesday night, shared a video on X with his buddy Negreanu discussing "The Grinder's" Hall of Fame credentials.

Ashish Gupta brought in, Nacho Barbero completed, and Tomasz Gluszko two-bet. Both Gupta and Barbero called to fifth street, where Gluszko bet when he caught an ace.

Seventh street saw Barbero check, after which Gluszko tossed in a bet. Barbero quickly called to force a showdown.

Tomasz Gluszko: XxXx/Q♦2♦A♦
Jason Mercier: XxXx/2♥4♠7♦ - folded on fifth street
One hand later, Gluszko completed, and Jason Mercier raised. Gluszko called to fourth street, which he checked over to Mercier. Mercier bet, and Gluszko called.
