Action folded to the small blind Dylan Weisman who limped in, and the big blind Stephen Chidwick checked his option.
The flop came 4?Q?4? and both players checked to the 9? on the turn. Chidwick then called a bet of 120,000 from Weisman.
After the A? came on the river, Weisman again bet, this time for 200,000. Chidwick used one time extension before flipping in a chip to call. Weisman announced "flush" and tabled 7?7?2?2? and Chidwick mucked his hand, giving Weisman the pot.

Tollerene holds a massive chip lead heading into the final table, looking to add to his already impressive poker resume and claim his first WSOP bracelet. He has finished in second place twice in 2024: first in Event #55, the $250,000 Super High Roller No-Limit Hold'em in Las Vegas this summer, and again in the Bahamas earlier this series during WSOP Paradise, where he lost to Lautaro Guerra in heads-up play in Event #3: $100,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Super High Roller. The only other player at this final table without a bracelet is Yang Wang, who currently sits in second place.
Dylan Weisman, currently third in chips, is no stranger to the PLO streets. He has won both of his bracelets in Pot-Limit Omaha, most recently this summer in Las Vegas when he claimed victory in Event #18: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha. Two players are looking to add their second bracelet: Canada's Pascal Lefrancois and high-stakes crusher Stephen Chidwick.
Also in the mix are two players hoping to claim their sixth WSOP bracelet. Mixed game specialist Benny Glaser, who has won all of his bracelets in mixed game events, is among them. Alongside him is Nick Schulman, who recently secured his fifth bracelet in Las Vegas this summer when he triumphed in the $25,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold'em (8-Handed). Many believe that victory has positioned him for a future spot in the Poker Hall of Fame.
