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.

A player in middle position raised to 6,000 and got called by the player in the cutoff before seeing Tim Black put in a three-bet to 41,500. The middle position player folded but the cutoff jammed for around 70,000 and Black made the quick call, setting up a runout with his opponent at risk.

Action checked through again, bringing the 10♦ out on the river.
Action checked through a third time and with the button and big blind hesitant to turn up their cards, Jiang confidently tabled the A♣Q♦, prompting his two opponents to muck as he wins the three-way showdown with only ace high.
Action folded to the cutoff who raised to 4,000 only to see Justin Dreiling three-bet to 15,000. The cutoff made the call to see the dealer fan out the 7♣K♣Q♣ flop.
Both players checked through to bring the K♥ out on the turn.
Dreiling checked over to the cutoff who reached for chips and tossed out a bet of 12,000. Dreiling paused briefly before reaching for his stack and counting out a raise totaling 34,000.
The cutoff glanced at his cards once before turning his cards up to expose the 2♦2♣. Dreiling said, "I was hoping you had that" as he turned over the 10♥10♣.
"I shouldn't have showed that one" he said as he collected the pot.
