The fourth week of the 2022 World Series of Poker (WSOP) is underway with 40 WSOP bracelets having been awarded at Bally’s / Paris on the Las Vegas Strip.
Nothing is more exciting than navigating a tournament that has thousands of players, and in Event #21: $1,500 MONSTER STACK, there would be 6,501 entrants looking to claim their piece of WSOP gold.

The final day of the MONSTER STACK would see ten players return with the PokerGO live stream beginning when just nine players remained and Mike Jukich holding the chip lead with a monstrous 97 million in chips.
For the Lynchburg, Virginia resident, he would have to contend with poker professionals Mateusz Moolhuizen, Francis Anderson, Joao Simao, and WSOP bracelet winner Anthony Spinella. Jukich would go heads-up against Moolhuizen, and after he closed the gap on the Dutch poker player, Jukich would put his tournament on the line in the Sporting News’ WSOP Hand of the Week.
WSOP Hand of the Week: River for a Bracelet
Jukich raised the button with king-queen and Moolhuizen called with six-deuce suited. Jukich flopped top pair and continued with a bet, while Moolhuizen flopped bottom two pair and check-raised.
After calling the raise, Jukich would see a second deuce fall on the turn to improve Moolhuizen to a full house. Moolhuizen led out and Jukich shoved all-in. Moolhuizen called and had one hand on his first WSOP bracelet with Jukich needing one of the two remaining kings to remain in the MONSTER STACK.

The dealer burned and turned one of those kings on the river to send Jukich soaring up the leaderboard to sit with 276 million in chips to Moolhuizen’s 49 million. On the next hand, Moolhuizen would be all-in with king-queen against the ace-eight of Jukich. Moolhuizen flopped a straight draw but was unable to improve as Jukick won his first WSOP bracelet and $966,577 in prize money for winning the Event #21: $1,500 MONSTER STACK at the 2022 World Series of Poker.
