Niveau 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Action picked up on the river in a hand between Bruce Knee in the hijack and the player in the cutoff.

With about 20,000 in the pot and the board reading 6♣10♥2♥K♣2♣, Knee fired out a bet large enough to put the cutoff all in, who had roughly 26,000 behind.

After taking some time to think about it, the cutoff put in the call and saw the bad news when Knee tabled the winner with K♠10♠ for two pair, kings and tens. The cutoff mucked his hand and was eliminated.

To mark the WSOP Main Event, Faraz Jaka has given us some top tips for those playing in the most prestigious event in poker. You can always find more help and advice, as well as free poker resources and training videos on Jaka Coaching.

Top Tip #2: Mindset

"Another bit of advice for the WSOP Main Event is on mindset. People get really excited during the Main Event. There are camera, media coverage and your friends are texting you — there's just so much excitement!

"It's hard not to get sucked into that. So when you have a big stack you're getting all hyped up and then you get a bad beat and lose two thirds your stack you feel like crap."

Find out more about Jaka Coaching

Staying grounded mentally and not letting your mindset wander away from the present is super important, says Jaka.

"You really have to try not to get too excited and stay even keel. I always remind myself, that in every tournament I have ever won, at some point I was a short stack with ten big blinds. So when I get short, I'm like, 'Alright, this is part of the journey to win a tournament.'"
