WSOP Hands of the Week: Quads Lose to Straight Flush But Player Doesn't Bust

2026 WSOP
2026 WSOP

There was no shortage of big moments and big hands during the first week of the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP).

Daniel Negreanu lost a 10:1 chip lead thanks to a three-outer in the Sweet 16 of Event #7: $25,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em Championship. Phil Hellmuth made an 18th bracelet run that fell short when he ran into the nut flush. And one player avoided complete disaster when he suffered a brutal cooler with quads.
