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.

Players have been sent on another 15-minute break and will return to blinds at 6,000/12,000 with a 12,000 big blind ante.
Johannes Straver raised to 22,000 in the hijack and Ignacio Moron defended in the big blind.
The flop came 4♥A♥9♠ and Moron check-called a bet of 19,000 from Straver. Both players checked on the 10♣ turn and the 5♦ rolled off on the river.
Moron led out with a bet of 125,000 and Straver bumped it up to 375,000. Moron took some time to think through his decision before giving up his hand.

The 6♥ landed on the river and Mateos moved all-in. Martirosian snap-called off his last 440,000 with A♥2♥ for a straight and doubled through Mateos' set with 6♦6♠.

Ponakovs fired a second barrel to 80,000 on the J♠ turn. Kaladjurdjevic raised to 220,000 and was called.

Ignacio Moron raised to 20,000 in middle position and Leon Sturm defended in the big blind.
The J♥10♣9♠ flop went check-check, bringing the 8♣ turn, where Sturm check-called a bet of 17,000 from Moron.
The river brought the Q♦, putting a straight on the board, and Moron bet 60,000 after Sturm checked. Sturm then raised to 125,000 and Moron tought for a brief moment before mucking his hand.
Adrian Mateos in middle position raised to 23,000 and was called by his teammate Emilien Pitavy in the big blind.
Mateos continued for 35,000 on the 8♠6♠10♠ flop. Pitavy check-called, then both players checked the K♣ turn.
Pitavy led out for 155,000 on the 5♦ river. Mateos went into the tank and called but ran into Pitavy's flush with Q♠2♠.
Adrian Mateos raised to 20,000 in middle position, and was called by Ignacio Moron in the small blind and Emilien Pitavy in the big blind.

Both players checked and Mateos tabled A♣4♣ for two pair, aces and fours, besting the K♦9♦ of Moron.
