Alexander Norden raised to 8,000 in early position before Nuno Alvarez three-bet to 32,000 in the small blind. Norden called, and the flop came 6♣7♣7♥.
Alvarez then bet 25,000 and Norden stuck around to see the 10♥ turn, where Alvarez moved all in for 79,000. Norden folded this time.
With the board reading Q♣8♣K♠ in a single-raised pot, Severi Palmu checked from under the gun and called a 6,000 bet from Ryan Mandara in the cutoff.
Palmu check-called a 13,000 bet from Mandara on the 2♠ turn. On the 9♥ river, Palmu checked, and Mandara bet enough to cover him. Palmu, who had 41,000 left, opted to fold, and the pot was pushed to Mandara.

In the 927th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway is joined by Connor Richards at Level 9 Studios to talk about the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) when it comes to poker content. The discussion stems from the recent controversy involving the World Series of Poker (WSOP) documentary 'No Limit', in which showrunner Dustin Iannotti admittedly used AI in edits involving Alan Keating's quotes. The show was pulled from YouTube by the WSOP as a result, and opened up a whole can of worms.
PokerNews also upset Shaun Deeb with an AI oops of our own, while ClubWPT Gold’s tweet stirred up a heated debate about marketing, women in poker, and more. It was a debate that Abby Merk jumped into headfirst while at the Asian Poker Tour (APT), where she booked a tournament win! From there, you can see highlights from the 2nd Annual Big Deal for One Drop Charity Event during F1 Las Vegas, which involved Phil Hellmuth, Jennifer Tilly, and Antonio Esfandiari, just to name a few. Oh, and the title came down to Deeb and Squid Games: The Challenge star Steven Jones. Watch to find out who won!
Chad and Connor then recap recent tournament wins by Aaron Johnson and Jake Long at MSPT Ameristar East Chicago, Felipe Boianovsky taking down the Brazilian Series of Poker (BSOP) $50K Super High Roller, and Ted Jackson-Spivack claiming three CMSOP titles before they share what they're thankful for on this Thanksgiving holiday.
Find out all about those stories and more in this week's episode of the PokerNews Podcast!

Level 14 Highlights
It was a battle of the blinds as the board completely fanned out Q♣J♥J♠K♣J♦ and the pot at about 16,000.
Takumi Odani checked to Darius Neagoe, who over-bet for 47,000, putting Odani in a tough spot. After a long tank, Odani made the call, only to see Neagoe’s J♣7♠ for quads, more than enough to claim the pot and leave Odani short.
Alexander Norden opened from the cutoff for 6,000, and Nikolay Ponomarev three-bet to 18,000 on the button.
Norden called, and the players went heads up to the K♦Q♦Q♥ flop. Norden checked, and Ponomarev bet 8,000. Norden took some time before mucking his hand, passing the pot to Ponomarev.
Jerry Odeen limped in from the button before Terry Jordon raised to 14,000 in the small blind. Quan Zhou called in the big blind, but Odeen then moved all in for 80,000. Jordon reshoved, and Zhou got out of the way.
Jerry Odeen: 8♣8♥ 
Terry Jordon: J♠J♥
"What a day," Odeen said upon seeing his eights crushed by Jordon's jacks. The J♦K♦4♥ flop improved Jordon to a set, and the rest of the board ran out 7♣Q♠ to send Odeen to the rail.
"Good game. Nothing I can do," Odeen added on his way to the rail.
"If you call, I call," Zhou said to Jordon, revealing he had king-queen.
