The hand was recounted to PokerNews by multiple players at the table.

Following an open, Anthony Marini three-bet to 1,500. Ryan Sands then made it 3,500 to go, only for Marini to make it five bets with a raise to 7,500. Sands moved all in, and Marini made the call.

Anthony Marini: A♦K♦ All in
Ryan Sands: A♠A♣

According to the table, the flop came KxXxXx, giving Marini two outs to crack the rockets. Unfortunately for him, he couldn't do so on the brick-brick runout, and he became the first casualty of the 2026 Main Event.
