Level 12 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Earlier, Nathan Glase used his one time to stay alive with ace-queen against ace-king. Now, at a new table, it was the turn of Tom Hulley to use it all in for around starting stack against Victor Dai.

Tom Hulley: A♠7♠ All in
Victor Dai: A♦J♠

The flop came 10♠10♥4♣

"I won't be greedy, I'll take a chop," said Hulley. But there was to be no chop as the 2♥5♦ completed the board and Hulley was eliminated.

PokerNews Podcast: Nik Airball 20-Minute Tank, Pet Peeves & Corey Eyring's Quest for $1,000,000

Level 12 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

In the 822nd episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by WPT Global, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz & Kyna England come to you from Level 9 Studios in Las Vegas to discuss the latest poker news, stories, and gossip.

That includes Nik Airball's 20-minute tank in a big hand on The Lodge Poker Live Stream, which prompted Doug Polk to take action. That led to a discussion on pet peeves at the table, and in Mike's case, the pet part is quite literal.

The crew also plays the first edition of PokerNews Plinko, discusses Chad's poker thrift store "Tweet of the Week," and talks about the current state of poker given Bitcoin is at an all-time high. From there, they dive into the wild journey of poker vlogger Corey Eyring, who is risking his entire net worth in an attempt to win $500,000 by the end of the year. Whatever amount he ends up with, the plan is to place it all on a single roulette bet of either red or black. Chad chatted with Eyring about his crazy quest and highlighted various clips throughout the episode.

Finally, the crew once again touches on Kevin Martin's 24/7 stream while attempting to win $5,000 playing online, which came to an unceremonius end.

Level 12 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

After our last chip count update for Table 4, we thought it prudent to stick around and see if there was any action between the big stacks, some of whom have close to double the average. We had to be patient, but in the end...well, read for yourself

Hand 1: Malcolm Traynor opened to 11,000 and took down the blinds and antes.

Hand 2: Zelig Otter opened to 10,000. David Sebesfi defended his big blind and check-folded on J♠J♣5♦

Hand 3: Joshua McSwiney opened to 11,000 from under the gun. Robert Hill defended his big blind and check-folded on Q♠J♣6♣

Hand 4: Malcolm Traynor opened to 10,000 from under the gun and took down the blinds and antes.

Hand 5: David Sebesfi opened from the cutoff to 10,000. Malcolm Traynor defended his big blind and check-folded on 9♣9♥Q♠

Hand 6: Jacque Ramsden opened from under the gun. Joshua McSwiney called on the button and Malcolm Traynor called in the small blind. The flop was A♦7♥5♠. It checked to McSwiney who bet 8,000. Traynor was the only caller.

The pair checked the 7♦ turn and Traynor bet 28,000 on the 6♥ river. McSwiney instantly folded.

Hand 7: Higor Seibel opened to 10,000. David Sebesfi called. Jacque Ramsden raised to 45,000 from the big blind and got two folds.

Hand 8: Joshua McSwiney limped in the hijack. Malcolm Traynor raised to 15,000 from the cutoff. McSwiney called and the pair checked the Q♠10♥9♠ flop.

The turn was the 7♠. McSwiney bet 10,500 and Traynor called. The river was the 6♥. McSwiney shoved for 48,000 and Traynor called.

Joshua McSwiney: K♠J♥ All in
Malcoml Traynor: 8♣8♦

Both players had made straights, but McSwiney had flopped the nut straight and doubled up.
