PokerNews Podcast Episode #344: Who Was the Biggest Winner from the WSOP Main Event Final Table?

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Rich Ryan and Donnie Peters discussed the big winners from the 2015 WSOP Main Event on last week's podcast, but neglected to mention the biggest winner, the U.S. Government. They break down some of the massive tax payments the IRS will receive from the November Niners, and discuss the online gaming bill moving swiftly through the Pennsylvania State Legislature.

Don't forget, you can call the show and leave a voicemail at 774-77-PNPOD.

Wetzel Wins One

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

We picked up the heads-up action after a flop of {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{a-Spades} and Brandon Wetzel checked behind his opponent. The turn was the {10-Diamonds} and Wetzel's opponent check-raised his bet of 1,100 to 2,750. Wetzel thought for a moment and then moved all in for 11,400 total. His opponent sent his cards to the muck and Wetzel clawed his way closer to a starting stack.

Kevin and his Kings

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

We picked up the action with Kevin Bridgewaters betting 2,000 after a flop of {2-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and his opponent made the call. The turn was the {q-Clubs}, Bridgewaters led for 3,000 and his opponent called. The river was the {5-Diamonds} and Bridgewaters continued to throttle with a bet of 5,000.

His opponent thought for a moment and then called, hoping his {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} picked off a bluff. Bridgewaters turned over {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} for the win.

On the very next hand, Bridgewaters raised to 700 from the button and received one caller. The flop of {9-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Hearts} brought a check-call of 1,100. The {q-Hearts} turn brought two more checks, as did the {q-Clubs} river. Bridgewaters' opponent mucked after Bridgewaters tabled the same {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} as the previous hand.

All in and a Draw

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

We picked up the three-way action after a flop of {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{k-Hearts} and Greg Yeager and Patrick Smith checked to the player on the button who bet 1,500. Yeager raised to 3,200, Smith called and the original bettor folded. The {9-Hearts} fell on the turn and Yeager moved all in for 10,025.

Smith thought for a moment and eventually made the call, turning over {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for a nut flush draw and inside straight draw. Yeager was also on a draw and behind, tabling {8-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. The {7-Hearts} river completed the flush for Yeager and he gathered a big one.

Big Double

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

The player under the gun raised to 550 and received three callers, including Mike McGreevy from the big blind. The flop was {q-Clubs}{8-Spades}{5-Clubs} and action checked three ways before a bet of 1,400. McGreevy raised to 5,800 and his opponent called. The turn was the {j-Clubs} and McGreevy quickly moved all in for 12,050.

His opponent went into the tank and eventually made the call, tabling {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}. McGreevy turned over {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} for the flopped set and faded kings and clubs with the {2-Diamonds} river to take the big pot.
