That includes the legend himself, Doyle Brunson, celebrating his 89th birthday. Listen to folks like Phil Hellmuth, Eli Elezra, Matt Savage, and Stefanie Ungar wish "Texas Dolly" a happy birthday.

They also dive into the uproar caused by Hustler Casino canceling a $250K GTD tournament after it had already held four flights, discuss Dan Shak getting into hot water in the commodities world, and debate whether or not they could live in Bally's for a year for $100,000, a popular prop bet that was talked about on social media this week.

Other stories include popular streamer Ludwig calling out the same scammer that Ethan “RampagePoker” Yau did, winners from the recently-completed 2022 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open (SHRPO), and the new slate of online bracelets coming to WSOP.com and GGPoker. Finally, the crew remembers three-time bracelet winner Panayote "Pete the Greek" Vilandos, who passed away at the end of July.

Matthew Head raised to 4,000 from middle position and a player in the cutoff called. The button and blinds got out of the way and action was heads-up.

The flop was {9-Spades}{3-Hearts}{6-Spades} and Head checked. The cutoff bet 3,500 and Head called to see {5-Diamonds} on the turn.

Head fired 10,500 and his opponent called to see {q-Diamonds} on the river. Head continued for 22,000 and the cutoff raised to 60,000. Head shoved with more and the cutoff called for the rest of it while turning over {q-Hearts}{q-Spades} for a set of queens. However, the queens weren't good when Head turned over {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for the straight to take the pot and send his opponent to the rail.
