Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Big O

Farhad Jamasi potted to 360,000, and Sergio Benso stuck around with a call.

On the 7A3 flop, Jamasi potted again, and Benso called the bet of 840,000. Jamasi potted for a third time on the 9 turn, and the bet this time amounted to 2,520,000. Yet again, Benso called, and the two went off to a 10 river.

Here, Jamasi slowed down with a check, and Benso took the initiative, announcing, "pot," which was enough to put his opponent all-in.

Jamasi thought for quite some time, and counted out his stack, before eventually returning his cards to the dealer.

Two Brutal Set-Over-Set Coolers Send High-Stakes Pros Out of WSOP Main Event

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Sandvik & Tsai
Sandvik & Tsai

If one set-over-set cooler wasn't painful enough, the 2026 World Series of Poker Main Event produced two within moments of each other on different tables. Both were every bit as brutal as the bad beat that kicked off Day 6.

High-stakes pros Espen Sandvik and Andy "Andy Stacks" Tsai both saw deep runs come to heartbreaking ends on Day 6 after flopping or turning sets, only to discover their opponents held even bigger ones.

Tsai is best known for battling in some of the biggest cash games in the world, while Sandvik is no stranger to the high roller circuit either, with numerous cashes in $25,000 buy-in events. Neither could survive one of poker's nastiest coolers.

Pots Traded

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Five Card PLO

Sergio Benso raised to 260,000, before Farhad Jamasi three-bet to 780,000. Benso called, then folded to a continuation-bet of 600,000 on the A510 flop.

Two hands later, the players played a limped pot. Jamasi check-called a bet of 180,000 on the 265 flop, then check-folded to the 500,000 thrown out on the 7 turn.

Five Card PLO Double Board

AKJ56
2A67K

On his game of choice, Steven Liu moved all in with some 1,900,000 in chips, and was called by Sergio Benso.

Steven Liu: KKQ87All in
Sergio Benso: AAQJ9

Both players had big high hands, with Benso's aces holding the edge over Liu's kings.

In the runout, it was Benso's set of aces that proved to be the best hand on each board, over Liu's set of kings.
