Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
In the 912th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway comes to you from the Chamada Prestige Hotel & Casino, which is currently hosting the World Poker Tour (WPT) Cyprus Championship. It's there that he caught up with Will Kassouf for an exclusive interview to discuss his controversial run in the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, why he acts the way he does, and where things currently stand between him and the WSOP. Chad also asks if he experienced any sort of mental health situation during the WSOP, or perhaps was influenced by any sort of substances, while also inquiring how Kassouf thinks he's perceived in the poker world. Spoiler Alert: he says he is the 'Donald Trump of poker.'
Chad then sat down with WPT commentator Tony Dunst, who bagged Day 1a of the $3,500 WPT Cyprus Championship. The two Wisconsin boys talk about visiting Cyprus for the first time, sports, and what life is like nowadays for the debonair Dunst, who has now been with the WPT for 15 years!
These are two interviews that you don't want to miss!

Jussi Hautanen: A♣10♥ 
Artur Kulanurk: K♥Q♥
Hautanen seemed to double his dire stack after the 9♠6♦8♣3♣ flop and turn remained clean, but the river brought the K♠ to pair up Kulanurk and send Hautanen to the rail.

Niklas Klein raised to 17,000 in the cutoff. Haukur Bodvarsson flat-called on the button, and the two went heads up to the 9♠Q♣8♠ flop. Klein checked to Bodvarsson, who bet 15,000.
Klein then raised to 40,000, which Bodvarsson called. The 4♠ turn saw Klein size up to 55,000, again being called by Bodvarsson. Both players tanked a while on the A♠ river, but it eventually checked through.
Klein showed J♦8♦ for a pair of eights, but Bodvarsson had better with Q♥10♦ for a pair of queens.
"Ah, I should have bet," Klein concluded as the pot was shipped to Bodvarsson.
"I don't know, I didn't believe you," Bodvarsson replied.

Arriving on a A♦J♦K♣ flop, Ole Wasenius bet 16,000 into the pot of 67,000 on the button. Small blind Elisabeth Harestad then check-raised all in for 88,000, and Wasenius called after a small tank.
Ole Wasenius: A♣9♠
Elisabeth Harestad: 10♦8♦
Harestad had a flush draw and a gutshot to work with, but neither came in on the 2♥3♣ runout, ending her Main Event run.

Asgeir Lund had opened in the hijack when Arne Da Silva-Aarskog committed his last 60,000 on the button. It folded back to Lund, who made a quick call.
Arne Da Silva-Aarskog: 9♠9♣
Asgeir Lund: A♣5♣
Da Silva-Aarskog had a sizable lead with his pair, but Lund flopped an ace on A♥3♦7♠ to reverse the situation.
Da Silva-Aarskog needed a nine to survive, but the deck had none in store on the K♥ turn and 5♦ river, eliminating him instead.
