Takahiro Tsugu raised to 120,000 from under the gun, Joris Ruijs three-bet to 275,000 from the button and Igor Pihela Jr. moved all in for approximately 1,350,000. Tsugu folded and Ruijs called.
Igor Pihela Jr.: A♦K♠
Joris Ruijs: K♣K♦
The board ran out 6♣3♣10♦7♥2♥. Ruijs had the goods and Pihela Jr. promptly made his exit.
Koray Korkmaz opened to 120,000 from under the gun before Wael Sarkis jammed as the big stack from the hijack.
Luke Martinelli entered the tank, and the clock was called after a few minutes. When five seconds remained, he called off his 1,015,000 stack, and Korkmaz folded for the cards to go on their backs.
Martinelli had A♥K♥ while Sarkis had JxJx. There was an ace on the flop and Martinelli held out to double.
Chad also shares highlights from his vacation on a Virgin Voyages cruise where he played in the WPT at Sea poker room, Matt tells you how you can win a seat into the $10,000 WPT World Championship, and Connor comes to you straight from the EPT Cyprus, which just kicked off.
Finally, Chad chats with Jeffrey Allan Grosso, author of the poker book Dirty Dealing. In it, he alleges that his ideas and screenplay were stolen by Miramax Films and ultimately turned into the movie Rounders. It might sound crazy, but there was a court case and everything. Chad read the book prior to chatting with Grosso, who opened up about what he claims happened, how he feels about it, and why he ultimately decided to write a book about his experience.
