Jason Koon raised to 55,000 in early position and Samuel Mullur called in the big blind.
Both players checked the 8♠7♥6♦ flop. Mullur then led out for 60,000 on the 4♦ turn and Koon called.
The 5♣ river put a straight on board as Mullur fired out 315,000. Koon, leaning over the table with his hand resting atop his cap, burned a time bank before emerging with a raise to 900,000.
Mullur quickly called with 9♣3♣ for a nine-high straight, while Koon was only playing the board holding K♦8♦ as he handed over the big pot.

The 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise, which is taking place on Paradise Island in The Bahamas, got off to a big start with the $500,000 buy-in Triton Million, which marked the WSOP's first partnership with Triton Poker.
It was a unique tournament that paired an invitee with a poker pro – each putting up a $500,000 buy-in – and then competing in respective fields on Day 1 before combining on Day 2. The tournament, which was being live reported by PokerNews, featured 74 players (37 pairs) and much to our surprise saw two players get their chips all in on the very first hand of the tournament.
It was a big hand, but just one captured by the PokerNews Live Reporting Team. Here is a look at five other either big or game-changing hands from the Triton Million.
Leonard Maue raised to 50,000 under the gun before Jeremy Ausmus three-bet to 150,000 in the small blind. Maue used a time bank and eventually moved all in for 245,000 as Ausmus called to put him at risk.
Leonard Maue: A♠10♣
Jeremy Ausmus: K♦Q♠
Maue remained in the lead on the J♣7♦6♦ flop, but Ausmus hit the K♥ on the turn to make top pair. The river was the J♠ and Maue was eliminated.

Adrian Mateos moved all in for 690,000 on the button as action folded to David Coleman in the big blind. He used up a time bank and asked small blind Wayne Heung how much was in his stack before eventually calling for 580,000.
David Coleman: K♠J♠
Adrian Mateos: 2♦2♠
Coleman hit trips on the J♣J♦5♣ flop to take the lead, while the rest of the board came 8♦4♠ to earn him a double up and leave Mateos on a short stack.

Justin Bonomo just cracked the 3,000,000-chip milestone after busting Sirzat Hissou.
Bonomo began the hand by raising to 50,000 under the gun as Hissou defended his big blind.
Bonomo bet 35,000 on the A♣10♠5♠ flop, then 140,000 on the 7♥ turn as Hissou stuck around to see the K♣ river.
Bonomo then moved all in and Hissou called for 270,000 with A♥6♣ for a pair of aces, but Bonomo had him out-kicked holding A♠Q♥ and Hissou hit the rail.

Samuel Mullur: A♥K♣
The flop came A♠9♥4♣ to give Mullur the lead with a pair of aces and leave Vaitiekunas and Tollerene at risk of elimination. The 10♥ turn was no help to the at-risk players, while Mullur improved to trips on the A♦ river to send both opponents to the rail.

Wang had woken up with queens, but he ran right into Ketola's aces as the A♦10♦9♥ flop gave Ketola top set. The 9♣ turn improved Ketola to a full house, and Wang headed for the exit once the 8♣ completed the board on the river.
