Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Hossein Ensan raised to 1,600,000 in the hijack, and Rami Hammoud called in the small blind, as did Greg Mueller in the big blind.

All three players checked to the turn on a board of K♠J♦9♦4♠. Ensan then bet 1,500,000, and Hammoud raised to 6,000,000. Mueller folded 9♣7♣, while Ensan called.

The river was the 4♦, and Hammoud bet 8,500,000. Ensan snap-called with A♦3♦ for a rivered flush, and Hammoud mucked K♣J♣ for a no-good top two pair. Ensan overtook Hammoud for the chip lead with that pot.

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

In the first hand back from the break, Michael Gagliano Q♥Q♣ raised to 1,700,000 and stole the blinds as well as the big blind ante.

Shaun Deeb 6♠6♦ then raised from the small blind for 15,700,000 with very few chips behind and got it through.

Daniel Savas A♥7♣ raised to 1,600,000 from the hijack and found no resistance.

Savas made it two in a row with another raise to 1,600,000, holding Q♠Q♣. That wrapped up another preflop contest.

Hossein Ensan 5♥4♥ raised to 1,600,000 thereafter from the button into the big blind of Romain Lewis A♣K♥, who pushed all in and forced a snap-fold.

As football's most legendary coach, Vince Lombardi, once said, "Winning isn’t everything; it’s the only thing."

Forget the bad beats, one-outers, and misclicks—at the World Series of Poker, success is measured in green (and gold). From its inception in 1970 to the record-breaking 2024 edition, the series has seen some of poker's most unforgettable victories and created hundreds of millionaires.

Thanks to the poker boom (among other factors), it’s no shock that all of the WSOP’s biggest payouts have come in the last 25 years. The Main Event fields have exploded, and the rise of high-stakes tournaments has sent prize pools soaring to new heights.

Hossein Ensan raised to 1,200,000, and Daniel Savas in the big blind called. The A♦Q♠2♣ flop was checked to Ensan, who bet 700,000 and took down the pot.

In the last hand before the break on the main table, Rami Hammoud raised to 1,200,000. Savas called in the small blind, and Thomas Clack came along in the big blind. They headed to the K♣K♥3♦ flop that both blinds checked to Hammoud. He bet 800,000 and Savas folded, whereas Clack stuck around to see the 2♣ on the turn.

Clack checked once more and so did Hammoud, leading to the 4♥ river. Once again they checked, and Clack showed the A♥9♥, but was beaten by the 4♠2♠ of Hammoud.

Rami Hammoud J♥J♠ made it 1,200,000 to go and Michael Gagliano 7♠7♦ called in the big blind to a flop of A♣9♥2♦. Once Gagliano checked, Hammoud bet the minimum of 600,000 and it was enough to win the pot uncontested.

Hammoud raised to 1,200,000 once more and claimed the next pot without resistance.

Daniel Savas then made it 1,200,000 to go and Hammoud in the big blind called, leading to the A♣A♠9♠ flop that was checked to the 5♦ turn. Hammoud bet and Savas folded.

The next player to raise was Brock Wilson for 1,200,000 and Greg Mueller in the big blind called. The 6♦5♥3♠ flop brought a bet of 1,300,000 by Mueller and Wilson gave it a lot of thought before he folded.

Level 35 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Lucas Jumalon raised to 1,200,000 in middle position and Han Feng called in the hijack, as did Tolga Karakaya in the big blind.

Action checked to Feng on the K♦Q♣4♥ flop, and he bet 1,300,000. Only Karakaya called.

Both players checked the 7♥ turn. Feng then bet 1,300,000 on the 5♥ river, and Karakaya called.

Karakaya turned over K♥9♠ for top pair, and Feng mucked.
