Limit Omaha 8 or Better
Men Nguyen bet from under the gun and Erickson called to go all in for 220,000 from middle position. Barny Boatman in the small blind and Scott Abrams in the big blind also called.
The three players still with cards and a stack in front of them checked until the river where the board read 
. Nguyen bet and Boatman made the fold. Abrams pondered for a while before eventually folding.
Mark Erickson: 
Men Nguyen: 
Erickson turned over his cards hoping to get half the pot with the nut low. But to his amazement, his pocket queens were good enough to take the high pot leaving Erickson flabbergasted that he quadrupled up. "Put that in the record books!" yelled Erickson.

Level 31
Level 11 of the 2022 World Series of Poker Main Event was unkind to 888poker ambassador Sam Abernathy, who lost a brutal bad beat to exit poker's world championship event.
During the first level of Day 3, with around 110,000 in chips and the blinds at 1,000/2,500, Abernathy picked up 
and was poised to earn a valuable double-up, perhaps putting her in position to make a run at the money, and then potentially deeper as the tournament progressed. But her opponent, Mike Gao, also had 
, so a chop pot seemed inevitable.
Level 31
Pot-Limit Omaha 8 or Better
Scott Abrams raised to 150,000 in the cutoff and was called by Men Nguyen on the button.
On the 
flop, Abrams bet 200,000 and was called by Nguyen.
Nguyen then called a bet of 425,000 from Abrams on the 
turn.
After the 
fell on the river, Abrams didn't hesitate to cut out a bet of 1,600,000, which after a brief pause, Nguyen folded to, sending a healthy pot to Abrams, who remains in the race for the chip lead.

Barny Boatman bet 120,000 from under the gun and was called by Bradley Anderson in the big blind.
The flop of 
received a check from both players. Boatman bet 250,000 on the turn and was called by Anderson.
The 
completed the board and Boatman bet the pot to go all in and was snap called by Anderson.
Boatman revealed 
for the six-high straight for the high and the wheel for the low. Anderson couldn't believe Boatman had a six as he showed to only take half of the low pot.

Level 31
Five of the six remaining players mentioned that they would prefer to pass over the scheduled dinner break at the end of this level in favor of a 15-minute break, with Barny Boatman the lone dissenting voice.
The players joked that they would now have to bust Boatman in the next half hour to get their wish, otherwise they'll take a full 60 minutes at the end of this level.
Level 31
Big O
After Men Nguyen, Peter Neff, and Mark Erickson limped, Bradley Anderson made it 300,000 on the button.
Scott Abrams called in the big blind, as did the limpers, and over 1,500,000 was already in the pot.
On the 
flop, all five players checked, but that civility would not last, starting on the 
turn.
Action was checked to Anderson who bet 1,000,000. Only Nguyen and Erickson called. The pot was now over 4,500,000.
On the river , Nguyen moved all in for 1,705,000. Erickson took a moment and called, then after several minutes, Anderson called as well.
The winner(s) of the near ten million chip pot were now determined.
Anderson showed 
and was shocked to see he was the only player holding ace-three to claim the low half of the pot.
Nguyen showed 
for a queen-high straight.
Erickson then frustratedly splashed his hand down before it was turned up, revealing 
for a turned top two pair and rivered set of queens, neither of which were good for high, as he lost out on a share of easily the biggest pot of the tournament so far.

Level 31
There were three players with 1,000,000 in the pot on a flop of 
. Men Nguyen in the hijack bet and was called by Mark Erickson on the button and Jarod Minghini in middle position.
Nguyen bet again on the turn and was called by Erickson straight away. Minghini agonized over his decision a little longer as a call would put him all-in.
He eventually pushed his two red stacks into the middle creating a main pot of 2,000,000 and Erickson and Nguyen would be playing for the side pot.
The 
landed on the river and Nguyen bet and Erickson called.
Jarod Minghini: 
Men Nguyen:
Mark Erickson:
Erickson took the high pot with the six-high straight and Nguyen took the low pot with 
which eliminated Minghini from the tournament.
