There was a meaty pot of around 2,300,000 in the middle between Vitor Dzivielevski and Daniel Strelitz. The board read 4?7?K?4?A?.
From the big blind, Strelitz moved all in to give Dzivielevski, who was in the cutoff, pause. He thought for close to a minute before he folded.

The board read J?J?9?3? and with around 700,000 chips in the pot, Jeremy Ausmus fired a bet of 550,000. Brad Albrinck thought for a moment before he dropped in a call.
On the 10? river, Ausmus shoved all in around 1,300,000 and Albrinck, who had an almost identical stack, went into the tank. Albrinck counted out his stack and finally decided upon a fold.

Alexander Farahi: 9?9? 
Scott Ball: A?Q?
Farahi was trying to prevent himself form becoming the first victim of the day with his pocket pair but the flop would not cooperate as it came 4?Q?2?. The turn was the 6? and the river came the K? to end his day in 16th place.

Level 26
: 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Here's a name you'd better start learning the rest of the summer — Darius Samual. That isn't a household name in poker yet, but it will be soon.
The poker player from England entered the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) with less than $100,000 in live tournament cashes, according to The Hendon Mob. Twelve days into the series, there's an argument to be made that he's one of a few "players to beat" regarding WSOP Player of the Year.
And, here's what's really crazy — Samual gambled half his poker bankroll in one event just to get to this point.
Level 26
: 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Kyriakos Papadopoulos opened to 80,000 from early position and was called by Aaron Pinson in the hijack, James Davidson from the small blind, and Jeremy Ausmus in the big blind.
Four players saw the 5?6?K? flop and once it checked to Papadopoulos, he bet 85,000. Pinson and Davidson both called but Ausmus folded.
On the 2? turn, all three players checked to see the Q? river. Davidson led out for 260,000, which got two quick folds from his opponents.

In the final hand of Level 27, Daniel Strelitz opened to 60,000 from early position. Alexander Farahi then made it 180,000 from the button. With the action back on Strelitz, he made it 450,000. Farahi took his time before jamming all in which Strelitz called at once.
Daniel Strelitz: A?K?
Alexander Farahi: K?K?
It was a clash of monsters as the flop came 6?Q?Q?. The turn was the J? and Strelitz was one card from the door but the A? came in on the river to give him the big pot and leave Farahi as the short stack.
