$\"This$ In the WSOP Event #11: 10,000 GGM illion High Roller, Ricky Landais went all-in with A\u2663K\u2663 against Bobby James' A\u26669\u2660, but was hit with a straight on the river and was eliminated in 22nd place. Even more bizarrely, the first deal featured four cards on the flop.<\/em><\/span><\/p>

In tournaments, it's not uncommon for players to be eliminated with a higher Ace-high hand against a lower Ace-high hand. But one hand in Wednesday's 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) was a little unusual.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>
This hand occurred in event #11:<\/span> $10,000 GMillion<\/span>10<\/span>,<\/span>000<\/span>GGM<\/span>i<\/span>ll<\/span>i<\/span>o<\/span>n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0This is a GGPoker-branded event in the High Roller No-Limit Hold'em tournament. Out of the initial 627 entrants, only 22 players remain, all vying for the $1,089,964 first-place prize.<\/span><\/span><\/p>$
Ricky Landais, with a small chip stack, was desperate to double up. He found himself in an excellent position to do so against Bobby James, in what could be the craziest hand of the summer so far.<\/span><\/p>
The brutal Bad Beat
$\"\"$
<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>
When the Bad Beat was about to occur, all players present had secured at least a minimum prize of $41,942. However, even larger prizes remained to be won, and of course, a WSOP gold bracelet.<\/span><\/p>
James had slightly less than 3,000,000 chips, with the big blind at 60,000. He raised to 120,000 from the crucial position with A\u26669\u2660. Landais only had 340,000 chips, so when he saw A\u2663K\u2663, he had only one option: go all-in. The action returned to James, who wouldn't fold for a few more big blinds. This was a standard all-in and call situation, with the short stack holding the best hand. So far, nothing out of the ordinary.<\/span><\/p>
The flop came out 6\u26665\u26664\u2665K\u2666. Yes, it was four cards, not three, because there was no hot card. The site manager was quickly called in and made the correct ruling, instructing the dealer to reshuffle the four cards and then select one of the face-down cards as the hot card.<\/span><\/p>
The flop was re-dealt, resulting in 4\u26656\u26665\u2666, still a good hand for Landais, but losing that K\u2666 was a blow. James got a straight draw on the turn 8\u2665 and then hit the straight on the river 7\u2663, a brutal bad beat that sent Landais home in 22nd place.<\/span><\/p>
"This is one of the worst things I've ever seen," commentator Joe Stapleton said as Landais left the live broadcast area.<\/span><\/p>
