A poker player didn't mean to jam into pocket aces on the last day of the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP), but he sure is glad he did.

Ole Askeland, a Norwegian player with just $91,000 in prior live tournament cashes recorded by The Hendon Mob, had a bit of a misclick fairly deep in the $5,000 8-Handed No-Limit Hold'em tournament, the 99th bracelet event of the summer.
