Poker Gods Punish Mateos on Day 5 of WSOP Main Event as Song Maintains Chip Lead

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Day 5 of the 2024 World Series of Poker $10,000 Main Event No-Limit Hold'em World Championship was the most dramatic yet, with bad beats and coolers taking center stage inside the Horseshoe Event Center.

Early in the session, Cameron Mixson found himself on the right side of the ultimate setup. His aces held strong against kings and queens in a massive pot, propelling the Lodge Poker Card Club representative up the chip counts. The Texan rode the momentum from that hand through the remainder of Day 5, eventually bagging 4,015,000 chips, good for 50 big blinds.

Speaking to PokerNews, Mixson expressed his excitement: "I couldn't believe it when I heard that both of them went all in. It was just an incredible moment in the tournament right there," he said, adding that it was his favorite spot he's ever been in while playing poker.

While the Poker Gods giveth, they certainly taketh away. Poker superstar Adrian Mateos felt the full wrath of the card deities. Starting the day second in chips, Mateos earned widespread adulation for correctly folding pocket kings to pocket aces in a four-bet pot. However, his reward was one of the worst beats of the Main Event thus far. Mateos' pocket aces fell to ace-king, which went runner-runner to make a flush in a six-million-chip pot after all the chips went in preflop.

Speaking to PokerGO after the hand, Mateos reflected on the tough beat: "During all the days, all my reads were on point. I feel like I probably played my best tournament ever. But that's poker. Two hands: kings against aces and aces against ace-king, and the dream is over. The only thing is to stay focused on the next tournament and try to play my best. That's the only thing I can control, and that's my plan."

Main Event maestro and $25K Fantasy pick Alex Livingston also faced a heartbreaking exit. The Canadian flopped Broadway, but his opponent turned a set and rivered a full house, sending Livingston out in 295th place.

Some of poker's biggest names continued to hit the rail as Day 5 progressed. Phil Ivey, Bin Weng, Jonathan Little, Nacho Barbero, Parker Talbot, and Alejandro Lococo all bowed out of the tournament.

PokerStars ambassador Lococo, who made the final table in 2021 and finished 39th the following year, was all smiles despite his premature exit. "I know it's tough to make a deep run in this kind of tournament," said Lococo. "My game was the best it has ever been. This time, I played better than before. I'm happy because I know this was the best Main Event in my life."

Main Event Reaches Its Final 160 Players

Ahead of the shuffle-up and deal, 464 players returned for Day 5 to continue their pursuit of the Main Event title and $10 million first-place prize, and after another five levels of play, just 160 remain from the record-breaking field of 10,112.

Stephen Song (12,310,000) continues to lead the way and remains in pole position for the eight-figure windfall. He is followed by Portuguese duo Carlos Caldas (12,110,000) and Diogo Coelho (9,950,000), who round out the top three chip counts.

Song is one of the most accomplished players still in the mix, with a bracelet and more than $6 million in live earnings to his name. He's on course to surpass his best finish in the Main Event in 2021, where he placed 83rd.

Second in chips, Caldas has already locked up his biggest live cash according to The Hendon Mob and is in a great spot to multiply his $170,545 in recorded earnings. Compatriot Coehlo is a regular fixture on the European Poker Tour, where he tasted victory in a $10K High Roller at EPT Paris in 2023 for $857,037.

Online legend Niklas "Lena900" Astedt also finds himself in the upper echelons of the chip counts after spinning up his stack of 385,000 to 7,900,000. Poker Hall of Famer Brian Rast (6,325,000), Ren Lin (5,660,000), Kristen Foxen (5,400,000), Brandon Cantu (4,600,000), and Tony Dunst (3,190,000) are also just a handful of notable names still in contention.

Alongside Foxen, three more women remain in the mix: Ma Li (4,050,000), Shundan Xiao (3,205,000) and Danielle Andersen (1,725,000). The last woman poker player to make a WSOP Main Event final table was in 1995, where Barbara Enright placed fifth and since then Gaelle Baumann's run to tenth-place is the best finish in the Main Event for a female in the 21st Century.

Grigorev Survives on the River

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Michail Grigorev
Michail Grigorev

On the last hand of the night, Michail Grigorev moved all in for 1,000,000 in the small blind and Andrew Arbogast called in the cutoff.

Michail Grigorev: A?K? All in
Andrew Arbogast: A?Q?

Grigorev had Arbogast dominated for a late-night double up as the flop came 2?10?10?. The Q? turn, though, gave Arbogast two pair and left Grigorev one card away from elimination.

Instead, he spiked the J? on the river to make a straight and book his ticket for Day 6.

"Why did you give me the queen," Arbogast told the dealer as he handed over the pot.

Al-Shanti Wins Big Pot At the Very End

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Abdullah Al-Shanti
Abdullah Al-Shanti

The emotions were flying high when Abdullah Al-Shanti and Neal Corcoran got their chips into the middle after a preflop raising war when the former was the player at risk. "Kings versus aces, I got aces in a huge pot," Al-Shanti told Iaron Lightbourne on a nearby table and his British rail.

Abdullah Al-Shanti: A?A? All in
Neal Corcoran: K?K?

The A?10?9? flop gave Al-Shanti top set and the 3? turn locked up the large double as a now meaningless 8? river completed the board. Al-Shanti doubled for 2,480,000 and then apologised for his outburst, even bumped fists with Corcoran.

Just prior, Al-Shanti had lost a big pot and recovered the losses in this setup hand.

Song Sends Adomkevicius Into The Tank

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Stephen Song
Stephen Song

Aneris Adomkevicius opened to 120,000 from a middle position with J?J?. Stephen Song three-bet to 375,000 having picked up A?A? in the small blind.

The flop came 7?5?10? and Song bet to 375,000, which Adomkevicius called.

The 4? came on the turn and Song, still ahead, opted to check. Adomkevicius bet 275,000 which was met with a raise from Song to 675,000. Adomkevicius took some time but found a call, taking the players to the river.

The 7? completed the board and the action was on Song. He raised to 1,200,000, putting Adomkevicius all in. After a long tank, the clock was called and Adomkevicius was given 30 seconds to act before his cards were automatically mucked.

Adomkevicius eventually made the call with just seconds left on the clock. Song showed his aces, which eliminated Adomkevicius from main event just 10-minutes before the end of Day 5.

Van Rooij Wins the Main, Pak the Side in Massive Confrontation

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Merijn van Rooij
Merijn van Rooij

Picking up the action partway through the hand, Merijn van Rooij in middle position had committed his short stack to the pot and was at risk against Edward Pak on the button and Valentin Oberhauser in the big blind. Oberhauser had both of his opponents covered with over 7,000,000 chips in the pot preflop.

Merijn van Rooij: K?J? All in
Edward Pak: A?A? All in
Valentin Oberhauser: 10?10?

Pak was in a great spot to more than double but was forced to settle for the side pot after the board ran out 8?A?6?5?4? to give van Rooij a flush. Still, Pak profited significantly from the hand while Oberhauser ended up losing more than half of his stack. van Rooij, meanwhile, seemed elated, having found an unlikely triple up.

Janelle Jacobson moved all in for around 650,000 from the cutoff and Kalyan Chivukula called in middle position.

Janelle Jacobson: A?5? All in
Kalyan Chivukula: A?Q?

Chivukula had Jacobson dominated heading to the flop, which came 3?9?7?. Neither player connected with the K? turn or 8? river and Chivukula took the pot with his queen-kicker to send Jacobson to the rail.

Ren Lin opened to 120,000 from under the gun and was called by Cameron Mixson in middle position. Yake Wu then three-bet to 480,000 one seat over only to see Taras Sopotnytskyi cold four-bet jam for around 1,400,000. Lin and Mixson got out of the way but Wu made the call with the covering stack to put Sopotnytskyi at risk.

Taras Sopotnytskyi: Q?Q? All in
Yake Wu: K?K?

Wu had found kings at an opportune moment to put himself in excellent position to score the knockout. The board ran out 2?2?6?A?9? to keep the cowboys best, bringing Sopotnyskyi's tournament to an end.

Jesse Lonis Faces All In
Jesse Lonis Faces All In

Coming off the stream table, Jesse Lonis had seen his stack decimated to around 1.6 million after he folded to a shove and further plummeted on the leaderboard. He then took on Giovanni Zanette and four-bet jammed when Zanette made it 315,000 to go.

The latter instantly called with the K?K? and the ace-queen of Lonis found no help on the 6?4?3?9?9? runout.

At almost the same time, Ian O'Hara also departed after he could not beat the Q?7? of Kenneth Kim in the big blind with the latter rivering two pair on a Q?8?3?9?7? board.

In a duel cutoff versus button, the flop showed K?J?4? and Chi Jen Chen called a bet of 400,000 by Alex Keating. He then checked the 10? on the turn and Keating increased his bet sizing to 1,000,000.

Chen went deep into the tank and the camera crew came closer to the table and filmed the duel between them. Ultimately, Chen slid his cards into the muck and Keating dragged in the pot.
