WSOP 2024: Super High Roller hand leads to an awful bad beat – For The Win

Going all in with a pair of 10s in a poker tournament is risky as heck, but when youre among the five players left in a World Series of Poker event, sometimes its not that bad.

And then this happens, and its all heartbreaking. Lets break it down.

In the $250,000 Super High Roller event, Charles Hook went all-in with 10s and eventually, Ben Tollerene called with his Ace-King offsuit. Tollerene was the chip leader at the time, so he could spare the 13.5 million it cost.

The flop was 2-4-2. That helped Hook, because that gave Tollerene just six outs. But then the turn show another 2. That gave Tollerene one more out to win another 2, giving the two of them four of a kind, but Tollerene would have the best fifth card with an Ace.

Guess what showed up on the river? Yep. You guessed it. A 2.

OUCH.

Hook ended up with over $1.2 million for his troubles, and Tollerene would eventually finish second.
