Adam Owen opened from the button to 2,400,000 and Alec Torelli defended the big blind.

The flop came 7?4?8? and Torelli checked raised all in, after Owen bet 2,400,00.

Torelli asked Owen, "Do you want to hear my quantum poker theory?".

Owen responded, "let's hear it," before making any further action. Torelli briefly recalled the Schr?dinger's Cat thought experiment to the table and the rail, whilst Owen thought about the call.

Owen eventually moved his chips into the middle, calling Torelli's jam, and the players flipped their hands.

Alec Torelli: 9?5?All in
Adam Owen: J?8?

Owen was sitting on a pair of eights, whilst Torelli was hunting for either a straight or flush to keep him alive.

The 5? gave Torelli a pair of fives, which wasn't enough to put him ahead.

Owen's rail was calling for the 2?, which came in on the river, confirming Torelli's elimination in 3rd.

In what was intended to be a conversation about a slew of near misses over his career, Michael Rocco flipped the script when he revealed that the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) would be his last full series for many years.

And the reason why he'll be reducing his volume at the tables may come as a bit of a shock.

During a break in Event #94: $10,000 6-Handed No-Limit Hold'em Championship, he told PokerNews that he has acquired a farm in the last year, and intends to shift his focus to that venture over his card-playing exploits.

Action was checked by both players down to the river which showed 8?9?10?4?Q?. From the button, Adam Owen made a pot-sized pot of 5,500,000.

In the big blind, Alec Torelli considered it for a while. "What are you doing here? Something like king-five? Are you just ****ing around?" he asked Owen.

After a few more moments he called. Owen showed the A?J? for the straight.

"Nice bet, buddy," said Torelli as he sent the chips to Owen.

With only four players remaining, Dong Chen raised to 5,000,000 from the button. Clement Richez moved all in from the big blind and Chen counted his remaining stack, before making the call.

Dong Chen: K?Q?All in
Clement Richez: A?A?

The flop came A?8?10? and Richez remained ahead with a set, although Chen had some hope with a gushot straight draw.

The 5? K? runout didn't improve Chen, and he was eliminated in fourth place.
