WSOP Main Event player suffers a bad beat with an elimination card on the river

We’re sure to see more of these at the 2024 World Series of Poker Main Event: bad beats that will have you wincing and feeling bad for the player on the wrong end of them.

Mitch Watson went all-in with Kings and Barry Hutter called him with an Ace and 8 of clubs.

The flop was 6-4-7, giving Hutter a straight draw with a 5, or he’d beat Watson with an Ace. A 3 came out on the turn. And then? On the river? You guessed it.

It was a 5. That gave both players a straight, but that 8 gave Hutter the higher straight. Watson’s Main Event was over. Ouch

TOUGH SCENE AT THE @WSOP MAIN EVENT!
