Hokyiu Lee limped in on the button and Jason Zipfel made it 1,000,000 from the small blind. Lee called, and the two saw a flop of A♥7♠8♦.

Action went check-check, and Zipfel checked again on the 7♥ turn. Lee bet out for 1,500,000, and Zipfel stuck in the call. Zipfel then led out for 1,500,000 on the 7♦ river, and Lee took some time to think. He slid in a raise to 6,500,000. "Do you really have quads?" asked Zipfel, followed by "I have a really good hand to call with." He ended up sticking it in, and Lee tabled A♦K♦10♥7♣ for four of a kind. Needless to say, he was good.

Dejan Kaladjurdjevic knows what it takes to run deep in a super high roller. The Montenegrin high-stakes player pulled that off in the 2024 Triton Montenegro $125K NLH Main Event where his second place finish earned him a $3,196,000 payout.

However, his first attempt at the $250,000 Super High Roller title at the 2026 World Series of Poker went up in flames after he attempted an ambitious five-high bluff in one of the opening levels of the summer's biggest buy-in tournament.

Jason Zipfel limped in from the small blind and Will Givens checked in the big. Action checked through on the 5♦6♠4♠ flop, before Zipfel led out on the 6♥ turn. Givens potted, Zipfel jammed and Givens got the last of his 7,625,000 into the middle.

Will Givens: Q♥6♣5♥4♦ All in
Jason Zipfel: K♠10♦8♥6♦

Givens held the nuts, but was needing to fade all of Zipfel's outs to a better boat. The 9♥ river wasn't one of them, as Givens went to celebrate with his rail.

In a limped pot, Hokyiu Lee bet 400,000 from the cutoff when checked to. The board read 8♦5♠K♠ and small blind Jason Zipfel was the only caller.

The 2♠ turn checked through, and Zipfel bet out for 400,000 on the 9♣ river. Lee quickly folded.

On the very next hand, Zipfel opened to 875,000 first to act, and Will Givens called on the button. Zipfel then check-called a bet of 1,400,000 on the J♦K♠9♣ flop. The 9♥ turn checked through, bringing in the A♥ on the river. Zipfel threw out 1,000,000 and Givens folded.
