PokerNews Podcast: $20K Mistake, Negreanu Beats Polk, NAPT Returns, & Guest Tom Orpaz EPT Barcelona Heater

Nível 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 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 the typically reserved High Roller Circuit.

Nível 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Ezequiel Waigel picked up A♠A♦ under the gun and raised to 325,000. The rest of the table folded and Waigel won the blinds and antes.

Waigel got no action on that hand, so the next pot he decided to create his own. After Curtis Knight raised to 300,000 in the hijack with K♠J♠, Waigel three-bet to 900,000 out of the big blind with 7♣6♠. Knight called and they saw a flop of K♦5♠7♠.

Knight had flopped top pair and a flush draw, calling a bet of 400,000 from Waigel. Both players checked the K♥ turn after Knight improved to trips.

The J♦ river gave Knight a full house and Waigel checked again. Knight then pushed forward 2,260,000 and Waigel snap-folded.
