Did Poker Player Punt a $250K Buy-In in WSOP Super High Roller?

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.

Action was picked up on fourth street in a pot between Patrick Quealy and David Shmuel.

Patrick Quealy: 10x3x/4x3x5xKx/Xx All in
David Shmuel: 6x4x/3x5xJx2x/Xx

Quealy bet on fourth street and called the raise from Shmuel.

On fifth street, Quealy put in his last 2,000 and Shmuel called.

Shmuel had made his six on sixth-street to leave Quealy drawing dead before he peeled his seventh street card of 10x. A meaningless Jx made its' way into Shmuel's hand and he raked in the pot to eliminate Quealy from the tournament.
