Jose Obadia opened 2,600 in early position before Frederic Normand three-bet 8,800 from a couple of spots to his left. The action folded back around to Obadia as he made the call.

The dealer spread a flop of Q♣J♠2♥ and Obadia announced a pot-sized bet before Normand shoved the rest of his chips across the line. Obadia had 22,500 total and quickly made the call.

Jose Obadia: A♣K♣Q♠8♠ All in
Frederic Normand: A♦A♠6♠3♣

Obadia flopped a pair and a gutshot against Normand's aces and he picked up a flush draw on the 6♣ turn. The 8♦ river improved Obadia to two pair to drag the pot as he thanked Normand.

Michael Jordan. Tom Brady. Tiger Woods. Serena Williams. Phil Ivey. What do these five superstars have in common? They're all widely considered the best to have ever done it in their respective sports.

On Thursday, Ivey captured his 11th World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet when he took down Event #29: $10,000 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw Championship (6-Handed). That puts him alone in second place behind the 17 bracelets Phil Hellmuth holds.

PokerNews asked some players at the WSOP why they think Ivey is the G.O.A.T., and we received some interesting answers from some of the best in the game.

Action picked up when Gabriel Andrade was in a four-way pot from middle position with the under the gun player and both the small and big blind players.

The flop came out 6♦Q♣A♣ and after the under the gun player bet 1,500 Andrade raised to 3,800. After the blinds folded and the under the gun player made the call Andrade remarked to his opponent "it's not going to come."

On the 7♥ turn Andrade bet 8,000 and again told his opponent "it's not going to come." The under the gun player made the call and once the dealer pulled both bet and call into the pot his opponent said "maybe it will come."
