Didier Guerin raised to 60,000 in the cutoff, Robert Heidorn flatted on the button and the player in the big blind defended.
The flop of 8♣2♦7♣ checked through to the 4♥ turn. The big blind checked, Guerin bet 125,000, Heidorn called and the big blind folded.
The 3♥ river went check-check and Guerin turned over Q♥J♣ for queen-high. Heidorn tabled 7♠5♠ for a pair of sevens, and the pot was pushed his way.

In the 843rd episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway and Kyna England are joined at Level 9 Studio by Joey Ingram, who served as special co-host to talk about the latest happenings at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) as well as his new partnership with GTO Wizard.
The biggest story is that of Scott Seiver, who captured his third bracelet of the summer and became just the seventh player in history to win three bracelets in the same year. Could he make history by becoming the only player to win four? He has two more weeks to do it.
Despite winning three bracelets, you might be surprised to learn that Seiver is far from a lock to win the 2024 WSOP Player of the Year; in fact, Jeremy Ausmus, who hasn't won a bracelet this summer, isn't too far behind in points thanks to a bevy of final table appearances. Would a non-bracelet winner winning POY over a three-time winner cause a controversy? The crew discusses that very possibility.
Chad then shares pictures and videos from the exclusive Global Poker party that took place at PokerGO Studio on Sunday night, while Ingram opens up about all things GTO Wizard. As usual, you'll also get your dose of other WSOP bracelet winners and a $25K Fantasy update. Oh, and did we mention talk about Daniel Negreanu, Nick Schulman, and Phil Ivey? Because that's all in there too.
A new PokerNews Podcast will drop twice weekly during the 2024 WSOP every Tuesday and Friday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time. Make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you do not miss an episode!
The remaining 63 players are on a 15-minute break. Play will resume with blinds at 15,000/30,000 with a 30,000 big blind ante.

Robert Heidorn opened from early position to 50,000 and Eracles Panayiotou called from the next seat. Dan Smith called on the button before Krasimir Yankov shoved from the big blind for around 260,000. Heidorn then shoved, which got Panayiotou to fold, but Smitih called off his stack of 275,000.
Krasimir Yankov: 8♥8♦ 
Dan Smith: K♥Q♦
Robert Heidorn: A♠A♥
Heidorn was in a great spot to eliminate two players and improved to a full house on the 6♦6♥6♠ flop. The 4♣ turn meant Smith was drawing dead, and the 2♦ river meant Heidorn scooped the pot.
Action picked up on the turn with a large pot brewing in a hand between Vladimir Minko in the big blind and Zhiyuan Xu in the cutoff.
With about 800,000 in the pot and the board reading 10♦K♦9♣A♣, Minko moved all in for roughly 600,000, putting himself at risk. Xu thought for a moment before eventually putting in the call.
Vladimir Minko: A♥K♠
Zhiyuan Xu: A♦Q♦
Minko needed to dodge a jack or a diamond on the river to stay alive and double up. He did just that when the dealer put out the Q♥, completing the board.
A few minutes after Eracles Panayiotou doubled through Sergio Aido, Panayiotou opened from early position then called after Aido jammed for 475,000 from the cutoff.
Sergio Aido: K♣Q♦
Eracles Panayiotou: K♦J♦
Panayiotou flopped a flush draw, then hit the flush on the river on 2♦10♦7♠2♠8♦ to send Aido to the rail.
Frank Funaro was at risk from the small blind with Damarjai Davenport being the player trying to earn his bounty.
Frank Funaro: K♦J♥
Damarjai Davenport: A♥A♠
Funaro did turn a gutshot but never managed to find it as the 8♣4♦Q♠9♦J♣ board meant he was eliminated.
