Jeff Weiss raised to 200,000 and Dylan Smith three-bet jammed out of the small blind for 1,055,000, which the initial raiser called after getting an exact count.
Dylan Smith: 9♠9♥ 
Jeff Weiss: 4♠4♥
The board ran out K♦K♥5♣3♥2♠ and several players at the table joked that the board the other way around would have been quite a sweat.
Daniel Savas opened to 200,000 on the button and Sachin Joshi three-bet to 850,000 in the small blind.
Savas then four-bet to 1,800,000 and Joshi laid it down.
Jason Blount moved all in for his last 1,100,000 on the button and just behind him, Cade Lautenbacher also went all in from the small blind to put Blount at risk.
Jason Blount: A♠4♣
Cade Lautenbacher: 6♦6♠
Blount would need some help to stick around, but the J♣J♥8♦J♠2♥ runout kept Lautenbacher best with his sixes for the knockout.

In the 988th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by FanDuel Poker, Chad Holloway is joined by Mike Holtz and Ben Ludlow are joined at Level 9 Studio by Ryan Depaulo to talk the latest from the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event.
That includes the money bubble bursting and none other than 2003 WSOP Main Event champ Chris Moneymaker being a part of it. See what went down and the aftermath yourself. The crew then talks about the debate surrounding whether or not a player should have to be profitable in order to win WSOP Player of the Year. It's a heated debate between Shaun Deeb and Phil Hellmuth, with Daniel Negreanu and others weighing in.
Other stories include a streaker at the WSOP, Martin Kabrhel's antics, WSOP POY update, and a player who built up a big stack in the Main Event and then decided to abandon it while he went to South Point casino to play $1-$3 NLH and watch a movie.
Finally, Chad previews the upcoming $400 buy-in, $250K GTD PokerNews Cup at the RGPS Thunder Valley.
Find out all about those stories and more in this week's episode of the PokerNews Podcast! Oh, and be sure to check out the audio version of the PokerNews Podcast that is available on all major podcasting platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and SoundCloud.

Daewoong Song opened to 200,000 from the cutoff, and Akihiro Konishi called on the button before David Kluchman three-bet to 1,300,000 from the small blind. With a big part of his stack already committed, Masato Yokosawa moved all in from the big blind for a total of 265,000.
Song responded by four-bet jamming for 2,785,000, causing Konishi to fold A♥10♥, while Kluchman snap-called.
Masato Yokosawa: Q♦9♠
Daewoong Song: A♣K♦
David Kluchman: K♠K♣
A board of 3♥J♥7♥5♦2♣ kept Kluchman's kings in the lead, so he sent both Yokosawa and Song to the rail.
The 2026 World Series of Poker is winding down, but Daniel Negreanu isn't finished yet.
Just weeks after winning his eighth WSOP bracelet, the poker icon is back at another final table. Negreanu — who also announced in May that he and his wife Amanda are expecting their first child later this year — is among the final nine in Event #90: $50,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold'em, with his sights set on bracelet No. 9 and a second title of the summer.
Victory would earn Negreanu the $2,276,691 top prize and could also shake up the WSOP Player of the Year race heading into the final stretch of the series.
