Nível 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

In the 868th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, sponsored by the free-to-play WSOP App, Chad Holloway, Kyna England, and Mike Holtz are at Level 9 Studio to discuss the bitter social media feud between Vanessa Kade and Ryan Depaulo, which started over a sponsorship for Benjamin "Bencb" Rolle and saw the likes of Charlie Carrel and Kevin Martin chime in.

You'll also get to check out the recent ClubWPT Gold $5M Freeroll Invitational winners, which includes Kyna, and how the reigning WPT World Champ Dan Sepiol won $1 million in a daily fantasy football contest on Thanksgiving. Some other recent big winners were Faraz Jaka down at the Rock 'n' Roll Poker Open and David Prociak at the Venetian DeepStack Showdown Series.

Finally, the year is quickly coming to an end, so the crew thought it was a good time to look at the PokerGO Tour leaderboard and see who is qualified for the $1,000,000 PGT Championship and who is on the bubble.

A new PokerNews Podcast will drop weekly every Friday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time. Remember to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you do not miss an episode!

Nível 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Alexander Ivarsson opened the action with a raise to 2,400 from early position, only to face a three-bet to 6,500 from Daniel Radakovic. After some thought, Ivarsson made the call, setting up a significant pot.

The flop came A♠8♣3♣, and Ivarsson checked to Radakovic, who continued for 3,500. Ivarsson called without hesitation.

On the 2♥ turn, Ivarsson checked again, and Radakovic ramped up the pressure with a bet of 8,500. Ivarsson took his time before announcing an all-in shove for roughly 30,000. Radakovic snap-called, flipping over A♣K♥ for top pair, while Ivarsson revealed K♣10♣, chasing a flush draw.

The river 2♦ didn’t bring the needed club, sending Ivarsson to the rail while Radakovic stacked a healthy pot to bolster his stack.
