We're just about a week into the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP), and already there's a contender for craziest hand of the series.
Michael 'Texas Mike' Moncek has grand designs to play a packed schedule of events this summer – including multi-tabling if necessary – while he attempts to rack up as many bracelets, cashes, and $25K Fantasy points as possible. Moncek's planned volume will no doubt make him a contender for WSOP Player of the Year if all goes according to plan.
While on a break in another event, Moncek tried to spin up a stack in the $1,000 Mystery Millions event. In a bid to expedite the process, Moncek went all-in without looking at his cards and ran right into it – four times over.
Moncek's 
needed a lot of help as one by one the cutoff, button, small blind, and big blind each moved all-in with premium hands. It's hard luck to run into one player's big pocket pair, but running into four players with jacks, queens, kings, and aces, respectively, is just brutality on a whole different level.
Unsurprisingly, Moncek did not win the hand. But you can feel worse for the player with aces, when the dealer flopped a king for a quadruple elimination.
Moncek deep in the $10K Mystery Bounty
Obviously, Moncek wasn't able to spin it up in the $1K Mystery Millions, but he's currently running deep in Day 2 of the $10K Mystery Bounty event.
As of writing, Moncek has a top-20 stack with 34 players left, and the bounties have officially come into play. And Moncek just pulled one of the biggies, adding $100,000 to his summer arsenal.
For those with Moncek on their fantasy teams (this writer included), it's a real sweat as the big points start kicking in when there are 18 players left.
Moncek has scored 21 points for his fantasy owners already after finishing 9th in the $5K NLH. He's already guaranteed another two points in the $10K Mystery Bounty.
