Nível 6 : 400/800, 800 ante

As retold by Alex Keating:

Keating opened 2,000 on the button and Adrian State defended the big blind.

When the flop came Q♠8♣4♥, State check-called a bet of 2,500.

The K♥ hit the turn, and State check-raised Keating's bet of 3,500 to 12,000 and Keating called.

The 6♠ completed the board on the river, and State moved all-in for 53,000. Keating only had him covered by 100 and made the call. State tabled J♣10♦, missing an open-ended straight draw and Keating showed 10♣8♦ taking down the pot and eliminating State with a pair of eights.

Nível 6 : 400/800, 800 ante

In early position, Peter Patricio opened to 1,600 and was only called by Arsenii Karmatckii in the cutoff.

Patricio bet 1,300 on the flop 7♠K♠7♦ and again 5,200 on the turn 8♣. Both times, Karmatckii made the call.

The 7♥ completed the board. But this third seven scared Patricio a little bit, so he checked. In front of him, Karmatckii didn't back down and bet 14,000. That's what was needed to make Patricio fold.

When the K♣ fell on the turn, Lisawad checked and Ghionoiu continued for 3,000. Lisawad check-raised to 10,000, putting the decision back on Ghionoiu.

Nível 6 : 400/800, 800 ante

Down to almost nothing, Felipe Ketzer's all-in was, of course, called.

Opponent: J♣J♦
Felipe Ketzer: Q♦4♥

On 7♦Q♣A♠Q♥5♣, Ketzer was lucky enough to hit trips and doubled up to 1,100 chips.

On the button in the next hand, he moved all in again and was called by Bart Lybaert in the big blind.

Felipe Ketzer: Q♥9♦
Bart Lybaert: K♠5♥

Once again, Ketzer doubled up thanks to a straight hit directly on the flop 10♠8♦J♣A♠3♠. The situation made everybody laugh.

Felipe Boianovsky turned serious again a few seconds later when he opened to 1,800 from middle position. Ketzer shoved for 3,400 from the cutoff and Casimir Seire called in the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 3♥4♠J♠, where Boianovsky bet 1,800. Seire check-called and check-called again on the turn 9♣ after Boianovsky bet 8,200. On the river 3♣, Boianovsky finally moved all in and Seire folded.

Felipe Ketzer: 7♣4♣
Felipe Boianovsky: A♥J♣

Ketzer had a pair, but the other Felipe had a better one, so Ketzer was eliminated.

Nível 6 : 400/800, 800 ante

On the latest PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Connor Richards, and Matt Hansen catch you up to speed on what's been happening at EPT Barcelona, Daniel Negreanu defeating Doug Polk on High Stakes Duel, and the return of PokerStars' North American Poker Tour (NAPT).

They also delve into the Global Poker US Poker Open (USPO), tell you about the first winner from the the PokerStars Summer Series, cover two big hands involving pocket queens from the past week, and debate arguably the hottest topic of the week — would you pay back $20K after a player grossly misread his hand and called off on the river (which actually happened on Hustler Casino Live)?

As for a guest, Connor and Matt were at EPT Barcelona and caught up with Tom Orpaz, a high-stakes real estate entrepreneur who in his spare time can be found grinding the EPT High Roller circuit. Orpaz, who made headlines in 2020 for purchasing the most expensive apartment in the world, went on a tear at EPT Barcelona that saw him winning €25,000 No-Limit Hold'em and €50,000 Super High Roller Second Chance for two trophies and over $1 million in winnings, proving he can hold his own among the top pros. PokerNews caught up with Orpaz, who has proven to be one of the most entertaining and talkative players on typically reserved High Roller Circuit.
