The 2022 World Series of Poker Main Event is getting down to the finalists, with — as of publishing this — just 35 players left after 8,663 entries. The winner will get $10,000,000!
But we’re not there yet. First, you have to see this wild hand.
With the big blind at 100,000 it starts with Haim Or Krief raising to 220,000 with a pair of Queens. The bad news for him: Gilbert Cruz has Aces. He raises to 540,000.
The worst news for Stanley Lee: He has Jacks. And when you have Jacks, sometimes, you can’t lay them down. And in Lee’s case? He raises all in for 1.84 million chips.
Or Krief and Cruz call, and the cards get turned over. Oh boy.
Here’s the thing: The flop is 5-8 of hearts-7 of hearts. And Or Krief has the Queen of hearts.
The turn? The 10 of hearts. WHOA. Suddenly, Or Krief has that flush draw … and the river is Ace of hearts.
ICYMI: Check out this wild hand from Day 6 of the Main Event with less than 100 players remaining.

Or Krief would eventually finished 60th, thanks in part to this moment.
