Lucas Jumalon in the hijack opened to 1,200,000. Will Givens in the cutoff moved all in for 3,600,000 before Lauri Saaskilahti on the button four-bet to 5,000,000.

The blinds folded and the action went back to Jumalon, who five-bet all-in for 48,100,000. Saaskilahti, who was covered, folded A♦J♥.

Will Givens: K♥J♣ All in
Lucas Jumalon: A♠A♣

Givens ran into aces, but flopped a straight flush draw on 8♣10♣Q♣. The 4♦ turn kept Jumalon in the lead, and the K♠ river sent Givens to the rail.

Malcolm Trayner raised to 1,200,000 in the cutoff, and Brock Wilson on the button three-bet to 3,200,000. Tolga Karakaya eyeballed Wilson's stack for a few moments and folded; Trayner also let go, then turned around to some Aussie friends on the rail who were waving the country flag.

One hand later, Trayner raised to 1,200,000 in the hijack and found no resistance. The relentless preflop aggression of Trayner continued with another open raise to 1,200,000, first to act. Everyone folded, and the Aussie claimed the next pot with his chip-leading stack.

Thomas Clack even gave Trayner a walk in the big blind on the next hand.

Todd Brunson entered Day 8 of the 2026 WSOP Main Event with under 15 big blinds. He needed to get something going quickly, and that's exactly what happened. But then one bad beat sent him packing.

The Poker Hall of Famer was attempting to win the Main Event 50 years after his dad, Doyle Brunson, won it in 1976. Doyle, a 10-time bracelet winner and the ultimate poker legend, won it again in 1977. Todd, owner of the Roma Deli in Las Vegas, started off Monday's session with a bang when he ran into the dream scenario.

Tom Clack made it 1,200,000 to go from under the gun, and Malcolm Trayner called in the very next seat. It folded all the way to Todd Brunson in the big blind, and he called, prompting a three-way flop of J♠5♠4♦. The action checked to Trayner, and his bet of 1,500,000 won the pot without further resistance.

Tolga Karakaya raised to 1,200,000 in the cutoff, and Clack in the big blind was the only caller to the 7♥3♥3♦ flop. It folded to Karayaka, who bet 700,000 and took down the pot.
