Ian Chan raised from the hijack and was called by Amir Nematinia in the big blind. Each player drew two cards on the first draw before checking.
On the second draw they each drew one card, after which Nematinia checked. Chan then fired a bet and Nematinia folded after thinking it over for a bit.
After winning a sizable pot against Yuebin Guo one hand earlier, Shaun Deeb raised on the button and Chad Eveslage called in the big blind. Both players drew two and Eveslage check-called a bet after the draw.
Deeb then took one card after Eveslage had taken two, and the latter check-folded to another bet.
Shawn Buchanan opened from the cutoff and was all in. Shaun Deeb three-bet from the button and Michael Boik called off from the big blind, committing the rest of his stack as well in the process.
Boik drew three, then one, then stood pat. Deeb drew two, then drew one, then drew one. Buchanan stood pat the whole way.
Buchanan had a pat-nine with 9x8x6x5x4x. Boik had made a better nine with 9x7x6x3x2x but Deeb had made the best hand on the final draw with 8x7x5x4x3x for an eight to send both players to the rail and take the pot.
In the 839th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway is joined by Kyle Anderson and Connor Richards at Level 9 in Las Vegas and talk about latest from the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) and about town, including the much-talked-about 15-way chop in the Wynn Summer Classic Ladies Event.
Speaking of ladies, one was kicked out of a WSOP tournament as seen in a viral clip circulated on social media, but Phil Hellmuth wasn't around to see it as he took a break to head north to Montana for a family wedding. However, he soon returned to Las Vegas and immediately made a run at bracelet No. 18. Meanwhile, Daniel Negreanu keeps running into pocket aces!
Speaking of bracelet runs, the son of 2005 WSOP Main Event Joe Hachem nearly followed in his father's footsteps by capturing WSOP gold. While he fell one spot short, Daniel Hachem's run is still one of the most heart-warming stories of the 2024 WSOP thus far. Plus, learn about recent bracelet winners such as James Obst and Magnus Edengren, the "Studs & Duds" from the $25K Fantasy league, and remembering bracelet winner Matthew Parry, who unexpectedly passed away this week.
Finally, Chad wrote a poker history piece involving David Sklansky, who is looking to sell a pair of rare 1982 WSOP gold watches, and a look ahead to next week's $600 PokerNews Deepstacks Championship bracelet event.
A new PokerNews Podcast will drop twice weekly during the 2024 WSOP every Tuesday and Friday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time. Make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you do not miss an episode!
