WATCH: PokerNews Podcast #827 - Neymar Did What at a Kid’s Birthday Party?!?

Kaelaine Minton

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

In the 876th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by Global Poker, Chad Holloway is back at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas alongside regular co-host Mike Holtz. However, Kyna England is up in Reno for the RunGood Poker Series (RGPS), so her Team Hotdog compatriot Lindsey Kludt fills in. The triumvirate discusses football/soccer superstar Neymar making headlines for playing online poker during a child's birthday party, for which he received a good amount of criticism. But was it warranted?

Chad then pays homage to Poker Hall of Famer Crandell Addington, who recently passed away. The Texan was there for the very first World Series of Poker (WSOP), and in this episode you'll get to hear the seven-time Main Event final tablist talk about the old days via an interview he did with PokerNews back in 2020.

Finally, you'll learn about the brand new emoji options in the PokerNews live reporting updates and a new documentary featuring Lukas "Robin Poker" Robinson from the WPT Voyage.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Kevinas Korsakas raised to 25,000 in early position and Boris Angelov called in the cutoff. Eduard Barsegyan then moved all in for 307,000 in the small blind.

Korsakas used two time banks before he also moved all in for around 300,000. Angelov couldn't put his chips in fast enough as he had both players covered and at risk.

Kevinas Korsakas: 9♥9♠ All in
Eduard Barsegyan: Q♦J♦ All in
Boris Angelov: A♠A♣

Angelov had woken up with aces, and neither Barsegyan nor Korsakas could find enough help on the 6♠8♣10♦6♥Q♥ board and were both sent to the rail.

For Korsakas, he turned his Power Path ticket into a 58th-place finish and €15,200 payday.

Jozef Cibicek: J♥J♦

Wenzelburger had flopped the nut straight and his double-up was confirmed after the 2♥2♠ runout.

Aaron Olechnowicz raised to 24,000 in early position before Enrico Camosci three-bet to 100,000 in the big blind. Olechnowicz moved all in and Camosci eventually called for his last 30,000 after tanking for around 30 seconds.

Enrico Camosci: A♥K♦ All in
Aaron Olechnowicz: A♣J♠

"Jack," Olechnowicz yelled out as the flop came 6♦3♣K♣. The turn was the 10♠ and Olechnowicz began calling for a queen, but the river was the 4♥ and Camosci doubled up.

Silviu Baltateanu: K♥Q♣ All in
