Level 36
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Robert Brobyn open-jammed in the cutoff and Holly Foley called on the button to put him at risk.
Robert Brobyn: 10♣9♣ 
Holly Foley: A♣A♥
Brobyn was already halfway out of his seat when Foley told him "you never know." As it turned out, the board ran out 10♦2♥5♥J♠10♠ to give him trips for a double.
Level 36
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
The action was joined as Allen Lanier had maneuvered his stack in from late position and was at risk versus Holly Foley.
Allen Lanier: Q♦Q♣
Holly Foley: A♥10♣
The 5♠8♣6♦ flop and 3♠ turn had Lanier well on his way to a double-up, but the A♣ river was a cruel blow that ended his deep run in 13th place.
Level 36
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Laurance Essak raised in the cutoff and Sebastian Crema three-bet to 4,300,000 on the button. Essak then four-bet jammed for 20,800,000 and Crema went in the tank before calling.
Sebastian Crema: A♣A♦
Laurance Essak: Q♣Q♦
Crema had the cream of the crop of starting hands and his aces held for a huge double as the board ran out J♦6♠7♣K♣3♠, leading him to pump his fist in celebration.
Level 36
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Sho Shiratori opened from under the gun, and Jeevan Lobo called in the big blind.
Lobo checked on the flop of 2♥10♣3♣ and called a bet from Shiratori. Lobo checked again on the 4♦ turn, and Shiratori bet 2,400,000. Lobo check-raised to 4,600,000, and Shiratori called.
Both players then checked on the 5♦ river as Lobo showed A♦5♠ to win the pot with a wheel.
Level 36
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Prashanth Nataraj raised to 1,600,000 from the cutoff, and, after a bit of preflop deliberation, Robert Brobyn called in the small blind.
Brobyn checked dark before the dealer rolled out the 4♠8♥9♣, and Nataraj continued with a bet of 1,000,000, which Brobyn called.
The 9♠ turn and Q♥ river both checked through, and when Brobyn tabled 6♠6♥, Nataraj flipped over K♣8♣ to take it down.

How To Satellite Into the 2026 WSOP Main Event in Las Vegas
There are 100 bracelet-awarding events on the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) schedule, but every poker player dreams of becoming the champion of just one of those tournaments: the $10,000 WSOP Main Event. Unfortunately for some, the $10,000 buy-in puts the 2026 WSOP Main Event out of reach, which is where satellites come into their own.
In 2003, the aptly-named Chris Moneymaker, then an accountant from Atlanta, Georgia, won a $10,000 WSOP Main Event seat via an $86 buy-in satellite online at PokerStars. Moneymaker outlasted 838 opponents, including defeating seasoned pro Sammy Farha heads-up, to win the WSOP Main Event and kickstart the phenomenon that would be called the Moneymaker Effect.
Fast forward to today, and hundreds, if not thousands, of players will head to the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas hoping to win their way into the 2026 WSOP Main Event for a fraction of the $10,000 asking price. The 2026 WSOP Main Event satellites run from July 1-7 and come in buy-ins of $150, $260, $585, $1,100, and $2,200.

Valdez couldn't crack queens as the board ran out 9♦5♦3♠6♥K♣ to mark his elimination in 14th place.
