Joe Serock raised to 1,000,000 under the gun before Jason Sagle three-bet to 2,800,000 in the hijack. Jason James then four-bet to 7,500,000 on the button, Serock folded his Q♦10♦, and Sagle called.
The flop came 10♠2♠2♦ and James bet 5,500,000. Sagle called and the 9♠ fell on the turn.
James then moved all in, having Sagle's remaining 25,600,000 covered. Sagle spent several minutes in the tank before folding Q♠Q♣ as James took the pot thanks to his K♠K♦ to climb over 60,000,000.

Brian Kim opened to 800,000 from the cutoff with the K♣Q♥ and Aliaksandr Shylko defended his big blind with the 8♠5♠. Shylko check-folded to a bet of 450,000 to chip down some more.
On the next deal, Yegor Moroz made it 800,000 from middle position with 8♥8♣. Kim three-bet to 2,450,000 from the hijack with A♣6♣, folding out the rest of the table to take down consecutive pots.
Moroz tried his luck again the following hand, raising to 800,000 with the A♦Q♣, and his rail erupted when the remaining players returned their cards to the dealer.
In the 846th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway and Kyna England are joined at Level 9 Studio by PokerNews Pennsylvania Ambassador Keith Becker, who served as special co-host to talk about the latest happenings at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP).
That included a controversial hand from Day 3 that some viewed as an angle and/or scummy, as well as the wild seven-bet bubble hand on Day 4. What two hands could inspire two big stacks to get 120 big blinds all in preflop on the money bubble? Find out here. The trio also take a look at the WSOP Main Event payouts and how they compare to past years, which former Main Event champs lasted the longest, and how both Mo Nuwwarah and Josh Reichard took pre-tournament misfortune and used it as motivation to make a deep run into Day 5.
