Sam Soverel raised to 11,000 from the hijack and Nikita Kuznetsov defended in the big blind.
The Q♦Q♠6♠ flop saw Kuznetsov play in flow. Soverel continued for 6,500 and Kuznetsov check-raised to 17,500. Soverel called.
The 2♠ turn checked through to the Q♥ on the river. Kuznetsov bet out for 16,000 and Soverel responded with a raise to 63,000. Kuznetsov used a time extension before laying down his hand.
The action was caught as Santhosh Suvarna, in the hijack, who just sat down with a fresh stack was making his was to the rail. The beneficiary of the pot was Leon Sturm, on the button. The full board read J♣10♥3♣J♦K♦ with the cards having been tabled:
Santhosh Suvarna: AxQx
Leon Sturm: K♥J♥
The dealer found the perfect river card to give Suvarna a straight while filling up Sturm's full house. This cooler sent Suvarna to an early exit.
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.
Chad also shares why he was inspired to turn extra links from his WSOP gold bracelet into a pair of gold earrings, while Keith talks about his life in the Keystone State, which includes a successful Twitch stream. As a matter of fact, he even streamed from the recently completed Global Poker x PokerNews Cup, which crowned a pair of Freeroll Finale Champions.
Finally, hear about recent WSOP gold bracelet winners including Garth Yettick, Carsten Heidemann, Matthew Alsante, and Chance Kornuth, who took down Event #85: $1,000 Flip & Go for his fourth gold bracelet. Hear from Kornuth himself in our winner's interview. Oh, and don't forget your regular $25K Fantasy update.
