• Quads Crushes Ho's Main Event Dreams
• Day 1c of Main Event Continues

Poker's World Championship never disappoints when it comes to wild hands, and this year’s $10,000 Main Event is already living up to the reputation. From Aces over Kings just minutes into Day 1c to bracelet winner Faraz Jaka busting with seven-deuce, the action has been nonstop.

And if you were hoping for July 4th fireworks, look no further, because PokerNewsreporter Stewart Morrison caught what might be one of the worst bad beats you'll see in this or any Main Event.

Here’s the brutal hand that sent Canadian crusher Tam Ho to the rail:

Quads Crushes Ho's Main Event Dreams

Playing on Day 1c, Paul Vulpis opened to 500 from the cutoff, with Ho calling in the small blind and Zack Marshak defending his big blind.

The dealer spread a flop of 7♥5♣8♦, which, given the board, few could have predicted how quickly things would escalate.

Both blinds checked, and Vulpis continued for 2,000. Ho called. Marshak then sprang into action with a check-raise to 7,000. Vulpis called, and Ho responded with a massive three-bet shove for around 60,000.

Marshak went deep into the tank before folding. The decision was back on Vulpis, who called to put Ho’s Main Event life at risk.

What followed was a brutal setup.

Tam Ho: 8♠8♥
Paul Vulpis: 7♠7♣

Before any further action took place, Marshak showed the table that he had flopped a straight with six-four, which he had subsequently folded.

The dealer burned and turned the 7♦, giving Vulpis quads and leaving Ho needing a miracle one-outer.

The 3♣river was irrelevant. Tam Ho was eliminated in devastating fashion, out of the Main Event with nothing but an all-timer of a bad beat story and his wallet $10,000 lighter.

Day 1c of Main Event Continues

The third of four Day 1 starting flights is in full swing at the Horseshoe & Paris Las Vegas with another wave of big names jumping into the mix. Among those in today’s Day 1c field are Vanessa Selbst, Kelvin Kerber, Philip Sternheimer, and Alex Kulev, all hoping to navigate their way through the massive field and into Day 2.
