James Chen opened to 100,000 on the button and was three-bet to 300,000 by Henrik Brockmann in the big blind. Chen called.
The flop came 10♣8♣7♥ and Brockmann went all in for 470,000. Chen called to put Brockmann at risk and hands were tabled.
Henrik Brockmann: A♣A♠
James Chen: K♣J♣
Brockmann was ahead, but would need to fade a bevy of outs to survive.
The 7♦ turn and 3♦ river were safe for Brockmann and he doubled up.

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.
Jesse Lonis opened the action to 115,000 from the cutoff and it folded to Viliyan Petleshkov in the big blind who moved all in for 560,000. Lonis went deep in the tank, but after close to a minute, made the call to put Petleshkov at risk.
Viliyan Petleshkov: A♣K♣
Jesse Lonis: A♠6♠
Petleshkov was in great shape with the better kicker, and when the board ran out Q♦5♣3♠A♦4♥, it was the ace-king that held up to score a full double up for Petleshkov.

William Stanford opened to 100,000 from the hijack, and Fabrice Bigot raised most of his stack, leaving himself just a couple thousand behind.
James Vecchio then shoved himself on the button, having both players covered. Both blinds folded, and both Standord and Bigot called to be put at risk.
James Vecchio: A♣K♥
Fabrice Bigot: AxJx
William Standord: Q♦Q♣
The 5♣3♥8♦K♣5♥ runout paired Vecchio's king, and he eliminated both Bigot and Stanford.

The action folded to Jesse Lonis in the cutoff, who opened for 110,000, and Viliyan Petleshkov moved all in for just over 1,100,000 in the big blind. Lonis made the call with a slightly bigger stack, and the cards were shown.
Viliyan Petleshkov: A♣10♦
Jesse Lonis: A♥Q♣
Petleshkov was in need of help to stay alive, but when the board ran out Q♦3♠2♠9♥8♣, it was the ace-queen for Lonis that scored the pot to send Petleshkov out in 22nd place.

Zachary Grech opened to 120,000 in the hijack, and Christina Gollins three-bet to 400,000 on the button. Action folded back to Grech, who tanked before committing the rest of his chips for slightly over Gollins' three-bet.
Gollins snap-called, and the hands were revealed.
Christina Gollins: A♦A♠
Zachary Grech: K♦5♦
Grech was in rough shape, and the 3♣4♦10♥2♣4♣ runout was of no help, eliminating Grech from the tournament.
