Dewayne Wheeland shipped his last 45,000 from early position. Nick Yunis three-bet to 100,000 on the button to isolate and put Wheeland at risk after the blinds folded.
Dewayne Wheeland: K♦Q♠4♥4♠
Nick Yunis: A♥Q♣10♠9♥
The flop was all Wheeland after it fanned out 4♦8♣8♦ to give him a full house.
Wheeland's boat made the straight that Yunis made on the J♦ turn and Q♥ river runout immaterial as he secured a double to stay alive.

Harris Klein opened up the action with a pot-sized raise of 55,000, and Akseli Paalanen defended from the big blind. The Q♦2♠5♦ flop checked through, as did the 3♣ turn, bringing in the 6♥ river.
With a four-liner on the board, Paalanen bet out for 90,000, which put Klein into the tank. He thought for quite a while before eventually finding the call.
"Sevens," announced Paalanen, tabling 7♥7♦XxXx, but Klein showed A♠K♠K♣J♥ for just an overpair, which was good enough to take down the pot.

"Top set," announced Turner, which had his opponent slightly perplexed, as Turner was pushed the pot with K♦K♠XxXx

There are 100 bracelet-awarding events on the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) schedule, but every poker player dreams of becoming the champion of just one of those tournaments: the $10,000 WSOP Main Event. Unfortunately for some, the $10,000 buy-in puts the 2026 WSOP Main Event out of reach, which is where satellites come into their own.
In 2003, the aptly-named Chris Moneymaker, then an accountant from Atlanta, Georgia, won a $10,000 WSOP Main Event seat via an $86 buy-in satellite online at PokerStars. Moneymaker outlasted 838 opponents, including defeating seasoned pro Sammy Farha heads-up, to win the WSOP Main Event and kickstart the phenomenon that would be called the Moneymaker Effect.
Fast forward to today, and hundreds, if not thousands, of players will head to the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas hoping to win their way into the 2026 WSOP Main Event for a fraction of the $10,000 asking price. The 2026 WSOP Main Event satellites run from July 1-7 and come in buy-ins of $150, $260, $585, $1,100, and $2,200.

Ray Dehkharghani opened to 27,000 in the cutoff and got a call from Toby Joyce in the big blind.
The dealer fanned out 7♦K♣4♠, and action went check, check.
Joyce led out with 48,000 on the J♥ turn. Dehkharghani called to see the last card.
On the river 3♦, Joyce bet 168,000, prompting Dehkharghani to go all-in for 1,100,000, which caused Joyce to fold immediately.

Jason Zipfel limped from under the gun before Jason Corbett also limped from the cutoff. Ryan Depaulo raised to 66,000 on the button. Peter Fry called out of the big blind before Zipfel followed with a call. Corbett made the fold.
It checked to Depaulo on the 5♦10♥A♠ flop before he bet 100,000. Fry check-raised to 400,000 in response. Zipfel folded, and Depaulo was left to a decision for his tournament life.
Depaulo opted to yield the pot to Fry with a fold as Fry took in the chips.
