Jie Fu opened to 2,500,000 from under the gun before Muaaz Gani moved all in from the cutoff for around 9,000,000. Jay Lockett then called in the big blind with Fu getting out of the way.
Muaaz Gani: 4?4?
Jay Lockett: 6?6?
Gani was in bad shape and things only got worse after the 9?6?J? flop. The 8? turn confirmed Gani's exit in fifth place prior to the A? river.

On the latest PokerNews Podcast episode, Chad Holloway and Jesse Fullen continue The Chad & Jesse Poker Show straight from the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP).
They are joined by World Poker Tour (WPT) Ambassadors Andrew Neeme and Brad Owen, who open up about how their respective vlogs helped them build their poker careers. They also discuss upcoming WPT initiatives and play a little game where we quiz them on "who said it?" regarding quotes from their first-ever vlogs.
Chad and Jesse also breakdown the big frame coming out of the 2023 WSOP, which is the antics of Martin Kabrhel in the $250K High Roller. Some top pros have accused him of behaving inappropriately, with some even suggesting he could be cheating. We share some some clips and hear from players on the ground during the event. What are your thoughts on the situation?
Byambajav Bandi went all in for just over 4,000,000 and when it folded around to Muaaz Gani, he isolated it by going all in himself.
Byambajav Bandi: J?9?
Muaaz Gani: K?J?
The board ran out 2?10?6?J?, making both players top pair, but Bandi had kicker problems and only a nine could save him. The 4? brought his tremendous tournament run to an end and he was sent to the payouts.

The remaining players have gone on a 15-minute break. All eyes are on the gold bracelet and the $262,526 that go along with it.
Jie Fu opened to 2,575,000 from middle position and was called by Shannon Boone in the big blind.
Boone thought for some time following the 5?3?Q? flop before deciding to move all in. Fu did not immediately call but ended up committing chips to put Boone at risk.
Shannon Boone: K?J?
Jie Fu: 7?7?
Fu was ahead but Boone did have many outs. The 5? turn was a blank with the 7? river confirming Boone's exit in seventh place.

David Hirst went all in from early position and was isolated by Matthew Thom two seats to his right.
David Hirst: A?Q?
Matthew Thom: A?K?
Hirst's railed was on their feet and shouting for a queen before the dealer could put out the, 7?2?5?. the 9? didn't change it and their wishes came up empty when the 7? rolled off on the river.
Thom is now amongst the chip leaders with only seven left.

Shannon Boone moved all-in from early position for 6,750,000 and was reluctantly called by Jie Fu.
Shannon Boone: A?9?
Jie Fu: 3?3?
Fu had the slight lead going into the flop, but the J?7?A? flop would put Boone way out front. The 10? turn and A? river would give Boone the full double.
