Philip Long and Richard Green took turns potting it before Long put himself at risk preflop.
Philip Long: K?K?10?10?
Richard Green: A?A?Q?3?
The table sighed in surprise as the K?J?10? rolled off, giving the Long a set of kings, but simultaneously giving Green broadway. The 5? hit the turn followed by the 9d and Long slid his chips over to Green, leaving the tournament are.

While winning a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet is one of the greatest accomplishments a poker player can achieve, many of the greatest and most successful players in the game have yet to put one on their wrists.
PokerNews has had a decent track record with highlighting players without bracelets who have gone on to win them. Jason Koon won a maiden bracelet in 2021 after making the "Best Without a Bracelet" list that year, while Dan Smith and Alex Foxen both found bracelets in 2022 to be removed from that year's list.
With the 2023 WSOP happening now, here's a look at some of the best players who have yet to add a World Series bracelet to their long lists of accolades.
Pot-Limit Omaha
Ferenc Deak opened the button to 140,000 and Alex Feiner moved all in for 480,000 from the small blind. The big blind quickly folded and Deak made the call to put Feiner at risk.
Alex Feiner: A?K?Q?Q?
Ferenc Deak: A?J?10?9?
Feiner was in the lead preflop, but when the board ran out K?Q?9?2?8?, it was the flopped straight for Deak that held up to score the pot and send Feiner to the exit in 15th place.

Wook Kim, the short stack at the table, was all-in and at risk preflop against Caleb Furth.
Wook Kim: A?10?
Caleb Furth: 8?9?
At first glance it appeared that Kim was locked for the double when he flopped the nut flush on the 8?4?9?. However, Furth had flopped two pair and he improved to a boat when the 8? fell on the turn. Kim was left to bemoan his luck as the insignificant river card came.
The remaining players are now guaranteed at least $21,492.
