Action was picked up on the flop of J♥3♠K♣, and James Traber checked from the small blind to Keith Romer, who was in late position, bet 500,000. The pot was sitting at about 1,000,000. Traber three-bet to 1,200,000, and Romer moved all in for 2,200,000 effective. Traber snap-called, and as his cards hit the table, it was obvious why.
James Traber: K♦J♣
Keith Romer: K♠K♥
Traber sat with two pair, and Romer had a set. The turn 7♣ and the river A♠ did not change the outcome, and Traber was eliminated.
Meanwhile, on the other table, at exactly the same time, according to the players, Peter Kamaras woke up with aces, and Homan Mohammadi called his all in with ace-queen, and by some miracle, the ace-queen won, and Kamaras was eliminated.
James Traber opened from early position, before William Ackerman two doors down announced "all in" for just 2,525,000.
Action got round to Eric Wang in the big blind. He rejammed, and Traber looked visibly pained. He didn't take too long before folding Q♣Q♥ face up.
William Ackerman: 3♥3♦
Eric Wang: A♠K♥
Traber felt instant relief upon seeing the K♠2♦7♣ flop, as Wang took the lead with his pair of kings. Ackerman was drawing to just two outs, neither of which came on the 5♣ turn.
The 3♠ river drew quite a reaction from the table, as Ackerman managed to get there and avoid being the first casualty of the day.
As Day 4 of Event #46: $1,000 Seniors No-Limit Hold’em Championship at the 2026 World Series Of Poker gets underway, just 25 hopefuls are in with a chance of claiming a bracelet.
Only three tables will be in use at 11:00 a.m. when cards get in the air, and that is all that remains of the 7,538 entries into the event, which is some turnout.
The chip leader when play gets underway is Canadian Homan Mohammadi, who managed to bag up 13,955,000 at the conclusion of Day 3, which is a massive 70 big blinds when action begins.
Just behind is Scott Ruegsegger, with 13,365,000, and the two emerged as the tournaments runaway chip leaders as third place Yossi Maymon will return with 10,940,000.

There are two players left in the field who are vying to earn yet another bracelet, with four-time champion and poker legend Farzad Bonyadi just sneaking into the top ten in chips, as he is just 24 players away from locking up number five. Bonyadi was involved in quite a spat towards the end of Day 3 with tablemate Buck Bucceri, who resides just outside the top ten.
Fred Goldberg scored his only victory back in 2007, in a $1,500 Mixed Hold’em event, and will be hoping to put an end to the long wait for his second. He just missed out on the top ten, but that certainly won’t hinder his hopes of doubling the tally.
Day 2a chip leader Adam Agaev bagged up just short of 6,000,000, with both Larry Quang and Hungarian national Peter Kamaras joining him on the felt today, each having already locked up a minimum of $28,000.
That being said, they will undoubtedly be playing with their eyes on the incredible $660,000 prize that will be afforded to the eventual winner, alongside a coveted WSOP bracelet.
