The Performance of the Day award at the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) goes to Martin Zamani.
No, he didn't dominate a final table to win a bracelet or silence Martin Kabrhel. He did something that is arguably even more impressive, and that is to approach the bubble in two separate high-stakes events at the same time, and potentially cash in both tournaments.
Benny Glaser raised to 35,000 on the button, leaving only 9,000 behind. John Racener called in the big blind before he put Glaser all in on the Q♠6♠7♣ flop. Glaser quickly called.
Benny Glaser: A♠Q♣7♠5♥3♣ 
John Racener: A♣10♥9♣6♥2♦
The K♥10♣ runout saw Glaser's two pair hold, doubling him up to a six-figure stack.
Level: 17
Blinds: 5,000/10,000
Ante: 10,000
The remaining 74 players are going on a 60-minute dinner break. Action should resume around 8:30 p.m. local time.
There are five more eliminations to go before reaching the money.
Martin Zamani is playing in both this event and the $10,000 Super Turbo Bounty across the room, running back-and-forth between them as that event is currently hand-for-hand on the money bubble. "Just wait until dinner break," Allen Kessler said.
"They're both going on dinner, so that's no help, Allen," Zamani replied.
"Stay here and fold into the money in that one. Running off and stopping is the worst option," Scott Seiver told him.
Meanwhile, Benjamin Miner had bet 30,000 from the hijack on a flop of J♥2♠4♠ and Seiver called in middle position. Both players then checked the 9♠ turn.
Seiver led out for 90,000 on the 3♦ river, and Miner moved all in for 300,000. Seiver called and turned over A♣Q♥J♠5♠4♦ for a flush and low, but Miner had A♠K♠6♥5♣3♠ for the nut flush and same low to take three-quarters.
Zamani then ran back to his table in this tournament. "I just made a straight with deuce-three. What's the odds of it happening again?" he said.
Dylan Weisman raised to 22,000 in early position, and John Racener called one seat over. Both Weisman and Racener then put in 22,000 on the 9♣J♣4♦ flop and 77,000 on the 5♠ turn.
The river fell the 6♥. Weisman checked, seeing Racener shove all in for 210,000. Weisman spent a while in the tank before he handed the chips in front of him to Racener, tossing his cards into the muck afterward.
Qinghai Pan checked the Q♠5♣6♦A♠ turn from the small blind. Doug Lorgeree then added 76,000 to the pot of 115,000 from the big blind, and Ryan Miller called on the button. Pan called as well, seeing the 6♥ river complete the board.
It checked to Miller this time, who moved all in for 249,000. Pan quickly folded, but Lorgeree looked his opponent up.
Miller showed down K♠K♥10♥6♠6♣ for quad sixes, leaving Lorgeree to take the low half of the pot with A♦K♣10♠4♥2♠.
Dylan Weisman bet 20,000 from the cutoff on a flop of 2♠K♦5♣ and Richard Bai called under the gun.
The turn was the A♣ and Weisman bet another 50,000. Bai again called, and the A♦ fell on the river.
Bai then pushed forward the last of his 110,000, and Weisman tanked for a minute before giving up his hand.
