David Kaufmann jammed his last 6,100 under the gun and Gergo Nagy called next to act. Werner Lootsma was on the button and moved all-in for roughly 32,000. The blinds quickly folded and Nagy called off his stack of about 27,000.
David Kaufmann: A♥10♣ 
Gergo Nagy: 10♥10♠
Werner Lootsma: 9♥9♠
Lootsma was way behind but he smashed the 9♦9♣6♠ flop, making four of a kind. The 5♥ turn meant both players were drawing dead as they stood up from their seats and the 2♥ river was just a formality.

Arunas Sapitavicius opened for 2,200 and Koray Korkmaz moved all in for 8,000 from the cutoff. Andre Marques flatted out of the big blind and Sapitavicius got out of the way before the hands were turned up.
Koray Korkmaz: J♦Q♦
Andre Marques: A♦J♣
The 9♣6♠J♠ paired both players but Korkmaz had a kicker problem. The 7♦ turn didn't resolve it, and despite the J♥ river improving Korkmaz to trips, Marques also improved and his kicker made the difference.

The 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise, which is taking place on Paradise Island in The Bahamas, got off to a big start with the $500,000 buy-in Triton Million, which marked the WSOP's first partnership with Triton Poker.
It was a unique tournament that paired an invitee with a poker pro – each putting up a $500,000 buy-in – and then competing in respective fields on Day 1 before combining on Day 2. The tournament, which was being live reported by PokerNews, featured 74 players (37 pairs) and much to our surprise saw two players get their chips all in on the very first hand of the tournament.
It was a big hand, but just one captured by the PokerNews Live Reporting Team. Here is a look at five other either big or game-changing hands from the Triton Million.

Marcos Alves was seen all-in for his last 13,400 from the cutoff and Marc Foggin was looking for the knockout from the small blind.
Marcos Alves: A♥7♣
Marc Foggin: A♦Q♥
Alves ran into a bigger ace and the Q♣J♠10♦ flop had him trailing further behind. The 2♦ turn and 3♠ river were no help either as he walked away from the table.

Ole Schemion opened for 1,600 under the gun and Keani Fairbanks three-bet jammed for 9,500 from the cutoff.
Jorge Artiga Pacheco then moved all in over the top for 18,400 from the button, both blinds folded, and Schemion asked for a count.
"Gamble," he said before putting in the chips to call.
Keani Fairbanks: 6♦6♣
Jorge Artiga Pacheco: A♣Q♣
Ole Schemion: K♥Q♥
Fairbanks got it in good but fell behind on the 4♦J♥Q♠ flop. Neither the 8♦ turn nor J♠ river changed a thing and Pacheco's kicker played to win him the pot while Fairbanks exited the tournament.

In a blind versus blind battle and 26,800 in the middle the turn read 7♣7♠5♣6♣. Jovan Kenjic was seen in the tank after checking and being faced with an all-in jam of 17,900 from Carlos Sanchez.
After a long time, Kenjic decided on a call.
Carlos Sanchez: K♠K♦
Jovan Kenjic: A♥J♠
Kenjic wasn't correct this time as he ran into the kings of Sanchez and he wasn't able to find an ace as the board completed with the 8♣ on the river.
