Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Heads-up on a board of J♥J♠3♣9♣A♥ with 1,100,000 in the pot, Harry Rubin in the small blind bet 675,000, and Paul Zappulla on the button went deep into the tank. The clock was called, but Zappulla eventually folded.
In the next hand, with a board of Q♣10♣A♦8♦, Rubin potted to 2,440,000. Once again, Zappulla went deep into the tank, but this time, he called off his last 2,350,000.
Paul Zappulla: J♠10♠10♦9♠ 
Harry Rubin: K♥J♣10♥8♥
Zappulla had flopped a set of tens, but Rubin had flopped Broadway. The turn gave Zappulla an inferior straight, but the Q♠ landed on the river, improving Zappulla to tens-full and securing a double-up.

Sasha Guerin raised to 260,000 from middle position, Bobby James called on the button, and Paul Zappulla called in the big blind.
The flop came 5♥4♦10♣, and Guerin fired out a bet of 960,000. James then announced "pot" for 2,865,000, and to his surprise, Zappulla snap-raised all in for 3,200,000. Action was on Guerin, who went deep into the tank. At this point, James had his camera out and started taping the situation, saying, "What the hell have you got?!" to Zappulla in a light-hearted manner.
Guerin politely asked the dealer to pull 960,000 from each player to better understand the pot odds, and after a long deliberation, he made the fold.
Bobby James: 9♦8♥7♣6♦
Paul Zappulla: 7♠6♠3♥2♥
The best turn in the deck for Zappulla was the 8♣, and the Q♠ on the river meant they chopped up the pot.

Rubin went deep into the tank and eventually moved all in. Nedelcu snap-folded.

In the next hand, Scapula raised to 420,000 again from under the gun. Tony Cousineau defended from the big blind.
Scapula continued for 200,000 on the Q♣A♠K♦ flop but Cousineau check-raised all-in for 1,255,000. Scapula folded while revealing the A♣. Cousineau flipped over J♥10♦9♥5♦ for a straight.

Nixon Diaz finished in 26th place for $14,510 at the World Series of Poker (WSOP), in the $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha event.
That isn't the story. You probably aren't even familiar with Diaz. After all, he'd never even cashed in a live poker tournament recorded by The Hendon Mob prior to the start of the 2026 WSOP. The story is how he even entered the tournament, and it started via a chance encounter with popular poker vlogger Corey Eyring.
Eyring, who has 187,000 YouTube subscribers, was looking to give $20,000 to two subscribers to play poker at the WSOP. He ordered some food from DoorDash, and the driver told him, "I think I've seen you out playing poker man," and the two shook hands.

Paul Zappulla raised to 425,000 from early position, and Daniel Hachem went all in for 1,430,000. Action was back on Zappulla, and he made the call.
Daniel Hachem: K♠K♣6♣3♦
Paul Zappulla: A♠Q♠J♥9♠
Zappulla hit a pair when the flop came 4♥7♠Q♥. The 8♥ on the turn gave Zappulla a gutshot, but he did not need it as the J♣ on the river improved him to two pair, and he sent Hachem to the payout desk.
