Trattou Outkicks Golenko

Dan O'Hair

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Mario Trattou opened to 12,000 from the hijack and was called by Yevgeneiy Golenko in the cutoff for a heads-up pot.

Both players checked on the 3♣Q♦2♣ flop and then Golenko called a 16,000 bet from Trattou on the 8♥ turn.

The A♦ completed the board and Trattou fired again for 34,000. Golenko stuck in a call and Trattou tabled A♥10♦ for a pair of aces.

Golenko showed he held the A♠ and sent his hand into the muck — awarding the pot to Trattou.

PokerNews Podcast Special: Shaun Deeb Talks $800K Body Fat Prop Buyout & 2024 WSOP Schedule

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

On this special episode of the PokerNews Podcast sponsored by 888poker, Chad Holloway goes one-on-one with Shaun Deeb, who accepted a $800,000 buyout in his $1 million body fat prop bet against Bill Perkins.

Nearly 11 months ago, the poker players agreed to a 14-month wager on Deeb's ability to bring his body fat composition down significantly. The bet had essentially no stipulations — either get to 17% body fat by the start of the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP), or lose $100,000.

Last month, Deeb gave his X followers an update on his progress, and it was certainly positive in his favor. A January 25 Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan showed his body fat had dropped to 23.9% with still four months to go. That caused Perkins to begin proposing potential buyout possibilities on X, although nothing had been officially agreed upon.

Shaun Deeb Accepts Buyout in $1 Million Body Fat Loss Prop Bet

On Friday, he went in for another DEXA scan, and he was in even better shape — 22.0% body fat composition. Then, on Saturday, the future Poker Hall of Famer informed his social media followers that Perkins had bought out of the bet for $800,000 just over three months from the start of the 2024 WSOP.

Deeb shared all the details of his journey, why he opted to accept the buyout, and where he plans to go from here. Plus, hear his thoughts on the 2024 WSOP schedule.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jacob Amsellem, Andras Nemeth, and Jan Eric Schwippert were all all-in preflop. Amsellem was in for his last 30,000 on the button and Nemeth was in for 146,000 in the small blind. Schwippert had both players covered from the big blind for a three-way showdown.

Jacob Amsellem: A♣K♥
Andras Nemeth: A♥J♥
Jan Eric Schwippert: K♦K♣

Schwippert had the best of it with his cowboys, but the 4♥Q♥6♣8♥8♣ runout improved Nemeth to a flush, who more than doubled his stack while Amsellem was eliminated.

Player	Chips	Progress
Andras Nemeth	340,000 10,000	10,000
Jan Eric Schwippert	135,000 85,000	85,000
