Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
In the 868th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, sponsored by the free-to-play WSOP App, Chad Holloway, Kyna England, and Mike Holtz are at Level 9 Studio to discuss the bitter social media feud between Vanessa Kade and Ryan Depaulo, which started over a sponsorship for Benjamin "Bencb" Rolle and saw the likes of Charlie Carrel and Kevin Martin chime in.
You'll also get to check out the recent ClubWPT Gold $5M Freeroll Invitational winners, which includes Kyna, and how the reigning WPT World Champ Dan Sepiol won $1 million in a daily fantasy football contest on Thanksgiving. Some other recent big winners were Faraz Jaka down at the Rock 'n' Roll Poker Open and David Prociak at the Venetian DeepStack Showdown Series.
Finally, the year is quickly coming to an end, so the crew thought it was a good time to look at the PokerGO Tour leaderboard and see who is qualified for the $1,000,000 PGT Championship and who is on the bubble.
A new PokerNews Podcast will drop weekly every Friday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time. Remember to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you do not miss an episode!

Arthur Thiriart opened to 2,000 from middle position and was called by Andras Jakabfi in the hijack and Alberto Cigliano in the big blind for a three-way pot.
Everyone checked on the 8♥9♣Q♠ flop and 4♥ turn, but Cigliano led out for 7,500 after the 5♣ completed the board.
Thiriart called, Jakabfi folded, and Cigliano turned over A♥9♥ for a pair of nines. Thiriart tabled A♠9♠ for the same hand and they each profited a bit at Jakabfi's expense.

Thomas Quaade opened the action to 2,200 from under the gun, and Hady El Asmar three-bet to 6,000 from the button. The action folded to John Mooney in the big blind, who moved all in, covering both opponents. Quaade folded, and Asmar called.
Hady El Asmar: J♦J♠
John Mooney: A♠K♣
Asmar needed to dodge high cards on the board, but the flop came 5♦3♣K♦, and now he needed one of the remaining jacks to win the hand. The 9♣ on the turn and 10♦ on the river didn't help, and Asmar was eliminated from the tournament.
