Horacio Chaves opened from middle position, and Michael Rodrigues made the call from the button. Sean Troha defended his big blind, and the three went off to the first draw.

Chaves drew one, as the players on either side of him drew two. He bet when checked to, Rodrigues called, and Troha put in a check-raise. Chaves made it three bets, and only Troha called.

Chaves would then stand pat for the rest of the hand, with Troha drawing one, check-calling a bet, then drawing one again.

Action checked through, and Troha tabled 8x7x4x3x2x much to the frustration of Chaves. He sent his cards back to the dealer.

Huge Shake-Up to Poker Hall of Fame Induction Process Announced

Hall of Fame
Hall of Fame

The poker community asked, and the WSOP listened.

In a major shake-up to the Poker Hall of Fame, the induction process is shifting away from its traditional "winner-takes-all" format. A brand-new voting system has been introduced, paving the way for up to six of the eight nominees to be inducted in a single year.

Nominations are now open for the 2026 Poker Hall of Fame. Once the public determines the top eight nominees, the final decision will rest with the 33 living Hall of Fame members.
