Bluffing Into Aces, Jamming Queen-Five
Rare Bilzerian Sighting at WSOP
Say what you want about Dan Bilzerian, the man doesn’t last long. The controversial social media influencer and poker player sat down today in the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, but he was out of the $10,000 buy-in tournament in just two hands.
Bilzerian’s bustout came during Day 1c of the Main Event, which earlier featured Phil Hellmuth’s always-anticipated grand entrance. PokerNews live reporter Kai Cocklin caught up with those who were briefly seated with Bilzerian at Table 424 in the Horseshoe Grand Ballroom to find out how it all went down.
Bluffing Into Aces, Jamming Queen-Five
In Bilzerian’s first hand, he called a three-bet from Derek Reid and triple-barreled into the Scottish player who check-called on all three streets with pocket aces.
“I had aces and I just didn’t think he had it, so I called. He was bluffing with ten-eight,” Reid mentioned.
Canada’s Jonathan Dwek then recalled the final hand where he eliminated Bilzerian.
“I raised with ace-jack, the button called, and he [Bilzerian] shoved all in for around 4,000 with queen-five from the big blind. I called and hit a flush,” said Dwek.

Rare Bilzerian Sighting at WSOP
While seeing Bilzerian on the felt is a rarity — his only live cash comes from a 180th-place finish in the 2009 Main Event — he is no stranger to the poker world. He claims to have won tens of millions playing in private poker games (claims supported by poker pros like Chance Kornuth) and recently booked a six-figure win on Hustler Casino Live.
Bilzerian, who has called poker players “f***ing nerds,” is widely considered a misogynist and tends to bring controversy where he goes. Bilzerian had a brief ambassador deal with GGPoker in 2020, but the partnership went the same way as his 2024 Main Event run.
Bilzerian didn’t stick around and quickly left the Horseshoe Grand Ballroom after his elimination, so we’ll unlikely see any more of him at the WSOP this summer.
