After a preflop raise and a few callers, Derek Normand decided it was time to get the rest of his 35,500 chips into the middle. The action then folded around to the player to his right who made the call to put him at risk.
Derek Normand: K♥J♥
Opponent: 9♠9♦
Normand needed some help to stay alive, and the runout of 3♠3♥10♠8♦J♣ gave him the jack on the river to secure the double-up.

One of the most heartwarming storylines of the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) emerged today as the father-daughter duo of Amanda Botfeld and David Botfeld made the money of the $10,000 WSOP Main Event World Championship.
Amanda Botfeld, a poker writer and author of 2020's A Girl's Guide to Poker, announced on Twitter that she and her dad had made it to the money in poker's most prestigious event. The tweet included a photo of the two locked in a loving embrace, no doubt happy to have secured a payday of at least $15,000.

The poker author's tweet came shortly after the trio of Yue Qi Wang, Peter Nigh, and Jeppe Bisgaard were all eliminated on the Main Event money bubble.
Short-stacked Matt Stout moved all in preflop and was called by Fernando Brito to put him at risk.
Matt Stout: K♥Q♦
Fernando Brito: A♣Q♠
"I folded two kings," a tablemate joked to Stout who just laughed as the flop came out A♥10♦5♥.
"Well, it doesn't matter now!" Stout declared as the J♥ came on the turn to give him the nut straight as well as a flush draw.
The board completed with the 9♣ for Stout to win the pot for his double-up.

Michael Sklenicka moved all in preflop for his last 13,000 and Calvin Anderson made the call while mid-conversation with the player in seat one. The other players quickly got out of the way and the cards were tabled, with Sklenicka at risk.
Michael Sklenicka: 7♣7♦
Calvin Anderson: A♣Q♣
Anderson still was having a full-blown conversation on the side, completely unphased by the flip he was going into.
The flop and turn of 2♥6♠K♣K♥ were safe for Sklenicka, but the A♥ on the river gave Anderson the win and Sklenicka was eliminated.
"Good game, man," Anderson calmy said as he scooped up his chips to add them to his stack.

One of the other players at the table said ,"Man I can't even find a face card and you are getting quads".

Cliff Josephy raised from under the gun to 3,000 and the player in middle position called. The player on the button, Ran Ilani, pushed in his last 7,000 for the three-bet and Josephy also shoved for about 34,000. The clock was called on the middle position player who could not decide what was the optimal play in this scenario and he eventually mucked.
Ran Ilani: A♦8♠
Cliff Josephy: J♣K♦
The board came out 3♥5♣9♠A♥10♦ and Ilani survived to play more poker due to his pair of aces.
Ilani jokingly said, "That will be $7,000 please."
Josephy responded, "How about 7,000 chips?"
