Nível 36 : Blinds 3,000,000/6,000,000, 6,000,000 ante

Liv Boeree open-jammed a stack of 38,000,000 from the cutoff and Marcelo Aziz called on the button.

Liv Boeree: 4♦4♠ All in
Marcelo Aziz: A♠8♠

Boeree sat stoic as the flop landed 9♣6♣3♠ to keep her ahead. But the A♦ then landed on the turn to give Aziz the lead and Boeree's magic fingers couldn't bring her a two-outer as the Q♣ bricked off on the river to mark her elimination.

It was a historic victory for Boeree who earned the largest tournament cash ever by a woman poker player, pipping Wenling Gao's runner-up finish in the online 2020 GGPoker WSOP Main Event for $2,748,605.

What is a player to do when they love tournament poker, their mind allows them to compete against the best of the best, but their body doesn’t want to cooperate? That’s a question “Texas” Mike Moncek, who suffers from a heart condition, asked himself Wednesday night after playing in the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise Event #7: $100,000 Triton Main Event.

The tournament, which is being live reported by PokerNews, attracted 182 entrants and offered up an $18,200,000 prize pool. On Day 2, a little over 40 players remained when Texas Mike, in his own words, “punted.”

The 8♥ completed the board and Kanit checked for the third time. Zhou took the cautious route by checking it back and tabled the best hand to collect the pot.

The action folded to Christopher Nguyen on the button who raised to 59,000,000. Liv Boeree moved in her stack of 35,500,000 from the small blind and Marcelo Aziz got out of the way in the big blind.

Liv Boeree: A♣10♥ All in
Christopher Nguyen: A♥7♥

Boeree was in a dominating position and the flop of Q♦9♠2♣ left her in a great position. The 8♥ on the turn left Nguyen drawing to just three outs and the 6♣ on the river was not one of them.

Nível 35 : Blinds 2,500,000/5,000,000, 5,000,000 ante

The 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise, which is taking place on Paradise Island in The Bahamas, got off to a big start with the $500,000 buy-in Triton Million, which marked the WSOP's first partnership with Triton Poker.

It was a unique tournament that paired an invitee with a poker pro – each putting up a $500,000 buy-in – and then competing in respective fields on Day 1 before combining on Day 2. The tournament, which was being live reported by PokerNews, featured 74 players (37 pairs) and much to our surprise saw two players get their chips all in on the very first hand of the tournament.

It was a big hand, but just one captured by the PokerNews Live Reporting Team. Here is a look at five other either big or game-changing hands from the Triton Million.
