2024 World Series of Poker
Exactly five years ago to the day, the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event experienced one of its wildest sessions ever. One player was tossed from poker's most prestigious tournament for, no joke, exposing his genitalia in the middle of a hand and then throwing his shoe at the dealer. And that's only part of the craziness that transpired.
Later in the day, patrons inside the Rio, which hosted the WSOP at the time, experienced an earthquake that sent shockwaves through the famous Amazon Room. Kevin Martin captured a video of the aftermath.

On the second hand of the day, Akif Ghani in the hijack and Ondrej Drozd on the button raised each other and ended up moving all in, with Ondrej Drozd at risk for just a little bit less than the starting stack.
Ondrej Drozd: K?K?
Akif Ghani: A?A?
Both players hit a flush on?10?8?9?3?10?, but Ghani with aces remained in the lead and eliminated Drozd.

A player in early position raised to 500, receiving calls from Sean Jazayeri on the button and the big blind.
The action checked to Jazayeri, who took the lead for 800 on the 2?K?J? flop. Only the original raiser called.
The 5? turn checked through to the Q? river. The player in early position retook the lead for 1,700. Jazayeri put in a quick raise to 4,000 and his opponent pitched their cards to the muck.

William Jarman opened to 500 from the hijack and Jenny Ding three-bet to 1,400 from the cutoff. Stuart Taylor called in the big blind and Jarman called as well.
The flop came 4?7?8? and action checked around to Ding who bet 2,500. Both opponents made the call.
All three players checked the 10? turn leading to the 5? river. Taylor checked, Jarman bet 5,000, Ding called and Taylor folded, showing that he had 10?9? for top pair before mucking.
Jarman tabled A?6? for a straight to take down a nice early pot.
