The action was picked up on fourth street in a hand between Mojgan Stringham and Jon Kyte.
Mojgan Stringham: 5♠5♦ / 7♣5♣9♥A♣ / 10♥
Jon Kyte: XxXx / A♦10♠K♥10♣ / Xx
Kyte check-called on fourth. He then led on fifth and Stringham raised.
Kyte check-called again on sixth and he reluctantly did the same on seventh. He got the bad news as Stringham had made trip fives on fourth and they held for the scoop.

That allows you to utilize our chip count filter option to follow only those players (just tick the $25K Fantasy badge); what’s more, each blog will have a “$25K Fantasy” tab that if you click all you will see are hands played by $25K Fantasy players.
As a result, we can capture some of the biggest, best, and most game-changing hands involving the $25K Fantasy roster. Here are five from the last week of action in the 2024 WSOP.
Action was picked up with cards on their backs after fourth street between Russell Hudson and James Hoeppner with Hudson all in for his tournament life.
James Hoeppner: 3x6x/4x10x10x10x/9x
Russell Hudson: QxQx/4x6x7x7x/5x
With the chips getting in on fourth street, the runout was most unfortunate for Hudson as he improved to queens up and Hoeppner made three tens.
Hudson took his leave from the tournament and the players were in the money after just one hand on the bubble.
