Georgopoulos Hangs on With Jacks
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Leonidas Georgopoulos opened to 5,000 from early position and was three-bet to 20,000 by Carl Shaw on the button. Action folded back to Georgopoulos, who called.
Georgopoulos check-called an 11,000 bet from Shaw on the A♠5♣4♦ flop and a 28,000 bet from Shaw on the A♣ turn.
Both players checked on the K♣ river and Georgopoulos tabled J♣J♠. Shaw couldn't beat it and mucked — conceding the sizable pot to Georgopoulos.

Dan Heimiller: Q♠10♦
George Chiriac: A♣Q♥
"Ten, ten, ten," urged Heimiller.
The board ran out 4♠5♥K♥10♣8♥. Heimiller's ten did come on the turn and he doubled up his stack.

Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
On the latest PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway and Connor Richards welcome Matt Hansen as a new co-host of the show. Matt has been doing a lot of work behind the scenes for PokerNews, and now we're putting a microphone in front of him to draw on his deep knowledge of the industry and get some of his hot takes.
That included his thoughts on the WSOP Paradise schedule, a poker player's yacht burning in the Mediterranean, and Ben Mintz returning to BarStool after Dave Portnoy bought back the company.
Chad then chats with this week's guest, Lukas "RobinPoker" Robinson, the new PokerNews Online Poker Ambassador. He talks about playing 1,000 hours of poker in 100 days, playing the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event alongside his father, and how listeners can have a chance at a $10,000 seat in December's World Poker Tour (WPT) World Championship at Wynn thanks to a special promotion in conjunction with WPT Global.
