2024 World Series of Poker
Victor Lemos saw two consecutive pots go his way.
The first hand saw Lemos win with Q♣J♣ against the hijack's K♠7♥ on a A♠Q♦Q♠K♣6♣ board, gaining him 80,000 chips.
Then in the next hand, there was a preflop pot of 20,000 and both Lemos on the button, and his opponent in the cutoff, checked down a J♠A♥A♣6♦6♠ board.
The cutoff showed 10♥9♥, but Lemos's Q♣10♠ won him another pot, increasing his stack to 182,000 just before the dinner break.
Action started with a raise in middle position to 10,000. The hijack went all-in for 68,000 and Danny Abdallah re-shoved his stack from the button for 180,000. Middle position folded and the players found themselves in a classic spot.
Hijack: Q♣Q♥
Danny Abdallah: A♣K♥
The board ran out K♦4♣10♣2♣8♠ and Abdallah raked in a big one, covering the entire table.
Quoc Huynh raised to 8,000 in middle position and Shaun Deeb three-bet to 32,000. Huynh then shoved all-in and was quickly called by Deeb.
Quoc Huynh: 10♥10♠
Shaun Deeb: A♠Q♠
The board ran out 10♦J♣A♣8♣6♠ and Deeb's stack took quite a hit.
Action started with a limp from under the gun. Lawrence Monis also called in early position along with the player in middle position. The small blind completed but the big blind went all in for 42,000.
The player under the gun folded but Monis made the call, and the player in middle position also made the call with only 21,000 chips. The small blind folded and players tabled their hands.
Middle position: A♥6♥
Big blind: J♦10♦
Lawrence Monis: K♣Q♦
The board ran out J♠Q♣8♣4♠4♣ and Monis stacked both opponents, increasing his table chip-lead.

Gary Klein was under the gun when he shoved his 48,000 stack and was quickly called by the player in the small blind.
Gary Klein: 9♥9♠
Small Blind: Q♠K♦
The board ran out 4♣7♥A♥J♦4♦ and Klein's pocket pair held to secure the double up.
The pot stood at 7,500 when the flop came 7♠Q♣10♥. Jacob Davis in the hijack check-called a 5,500 jam from the button.
Button: K♦9♥
Jacob Davis: A♣J♣
The run out came K♣ Q♠, securing Davis the pot with the broadway straight.
