A ‘misclick’ cracks pocket aces in high-stakes WSOPP Main Event drama

A dramatic hand unfolded at the $25,000 Super Main Event of the World Series of Poker Paradise (WSOPP), where a costly 'misclick' led to a player’s pocket aces being cracked. The high-stakes clash involved American pros Aram Oganyan and Matthew Wantman, Austrian Daniel Rezaei, and Kyle Lin—whose questionable move sparked debate among competitors.

The hand began when Daniel Rezaei made a three-bet all-in with his stack. Kyle Lin called instantly, revealing pocket aces—the strongest possible starting hand. Some at the table suspected Lin had accidentally clicked the call button, while others questioned whether it was a deliberate 'angle' to mislead opponents.

The WSOPP Super Main Event continues with heightened drama after the controversial hand. Rezaei’s flush kept him in contention, while Lin’s aces fell victim to an improbable comeback. With the $60 million prize pool still in play, the remaining players will now push forward in the tournament.
