: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
In the 849th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by 888poker, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Kyna England are at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas to talk about the "Laptopgate" controversy that came out of Jonathan Tamayo's big win in the 2024 WSOP Main Event for $10,000,000.
How did solvers impact things? Does it constitute cheating? What comes next? Not only do the crew talk about it, but they also share clips from two interviews Doug Polk conducted, the first with runner-up Jordan Griff and the other with two prominent poker personalities Daniel Negreanu and Alan Keating. For those wondering what Tamayo had to say about the situation, check out this PokerNews article here.

: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Yacine Khettam opened to 700 from under the gun. He was called by Volga Uyanik to his left, but Jonathan Khalifa in middle position three-bet all-in for 8,200. This action made every body fold.
On the next hand, Tomas Macnamara from the small blind limped then called after Khettam raised to 1,000.
Both players checked all the way through a board of 3♠6♣9♥A♠. On the 5♠ river, Macnamara bet 1,000 but Khettam raised to 2,500.
Macnamara went deep into the tank until the clock was called, but he eventually folded.
