Graner Eliminated by Pousset
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Stephen Graner was the first player to knock out an opponent from the 2026 WSOP Main Event but he won't be the one to claim the coveted gold bracelet. Before the dinner break he had already been chipped down below the starting stack and then jammed the button for around 28,000. Kilian Pousset called in the big blind with the covering stack and the cards were flipped over.
Stephen Graner: A♦8♦
Kilian Pousset: K♣Q♠
The board ran out Q♦9♠4♠J♣8♠ and the superior pair of Pousset sent Graner to the rail.
