Nikolaos Lampropoulos had raised in middle position when Daniel Zaremba made it 32,000 to go in the hijack. Vlado Banicevic called on the button, as did Lampropoulos once the action had folded back to him.
Zaremba continued for another 32,000 on the 4♣A♠J♦ flop. Banicevic then tossed in his stack of 91,000, to which Lampropoulos check-folded. Zaremba flicked in a quick call, however, and the cards were revealed.
Vlado Banicevic: A♦A♣10♠2♠ 
Daniel Zaremba: A♥K♥K♣8♠
Zaremba was in horrible shape against the top set of Banicevic, who locked up the pot on the 8♦ turn. The 3♦ river mattered little as Banicevic doubled back up to more than 100 big blinds.

In a pot of roughly 25,000, Imad Derwiche got his stack of 91,000 in on a flop of 3♦9♠10♣ against Cesar Garcia.
Imad Derwiche: A♠10♦7♣3♣
Cesar Garcia: K♠J♥10♥9♣
Derwiche needed to get lucky to beat Garcia's top two pair. The 6♠ turn was of no help, but the A♦ rivered him a higher two pair to take down the pot and double up.

Cesar Garcia was already on his second bullet when he bet the pot of 95,000 from under the gun on a completed board of 7♠5♠K♦4♠5♥.
His opponent was Ljubisa Bojic in the seat next to him, who put in a call.
Garcia was hesitant to show, prompting Bojic to table A♠A♥5♦2♠ for an ace-high flush, winning him the pot.

Connor then shares his thoughts on the Life Outside Poker Meet-Up Game and shares the tragic story of Jim Weger, who passed away in a motorcycle accident the night before the 10th Annual Pawn Stars Poker Run. You'll also get to hear about winners from the 2024 Norwegian Poker Championship, and finally, you can see Chad take part in a $100 flip during an impromptu appearance on The Absolute Nuts show, which was filming their cash game at Resorts World during the PokerNews MUG.
The podcast has a new sponsor in the #1 free-to-play WSOP app, and as part of it, we run another "WSOP Replay" segment in which Chad reviews a famous poker hand through the lens of the WSOP App. Check it out and remember to use bonus code "POKERNEWS" if you download and play for an extra 1,000,000 in chips!
