: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Ivan Gonzalez moved all in for 12,000 from the hijack on a flop of 3♣2♠9♣ and an opponent in the cutoff called, as did Alfonso Coronado in the big blind.
The turn was the 6♦ and Coronado shoved. The cutoff quickly called for an additional 30,000.
Coronado had Q♦9♠ for top pair, Gonzalez showed A♣2♣ for a flush draw, while the cutoff had 8♣7♣ for straight and flush draws. The A♥ river gave Gonzalez a pair of aces and the triple up, while Coronado held on to win the side pot and send the cutoff to the rail.

A player in middle position bet 3,000 on a flop of 7♥10♦8♥ and Hassan Sey raised to 11,000 on the button. His opponent called, and they saw the J♦ fall on the turn.
Sey then bet 15,000, and his opponent moved all in for 30,000. Sey quickly called with 8♠8♦ for a set, but his opponent had turned a straight holding 9♣8♣.
The river, though, brought the 10♥ to give Sey a full house and send his opponent to the rail.

In the 934th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Ben Ludlow talk about the two players who made it all the way to heads-up play and then agreed to play winner take all for the prize money. It was a wild story that saw one player walk away with a five-figure payday and the other leave empty-handed.
The trio then discusses WPT Global's controversial signing of Ren Lin as an ambassador, which led to a discussion about ClubWPT Gold's social media strategy and how those two brands are related to the main World Poker Tour (WPT) brand. In between, former WPT Global Ambassador Xuan Liu called out the site for continuing to use her image in the Asia market.
Chad then shares highlights from his adventure with Phil Hellmuth and his son Phillip Hellmuth III playing in a Wisconsin home game, Alex Foxen winning PokerGO Tour (PGT) Player of the Year, and winners from the PokerGO Tour Last Chance Series. Then there was Daniel Negreanu at the final table of the PGT Championship, which was won by Chad Eveslage.
Other stories include GPI Player of the Year results, Maine becoming the ninth state to legalize online poker, and a look at Lost in the Shuffle, a documentary that explores the history of playing cards through the lens of magic.
