: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Three players checked a flop of K♥Q♣3♦ to find the 7♥ turn, where Felipe Ketzer on the button bet 45,000. Anatoly Nikitin in the big blind called, but the third player in middle position folded.
The J♠ completed the board and Nikitin checked. Ketzer counted his stack, seemed to hesitate but eventually checked back.
Nikitin revealed 7♦6♣ for a pair. Ketzer didn't have a better and, so he threw his cards into the muck.

In the 829th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by PokerStars, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Kyna England are back at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas to talk about Doug Polk being denied a new poker room in Texas. Check out some highlights and clips from a city council meeting in which Polk went to the podium to plead his case. While some respected what he had to say, some poker players like Chris "Big Huni" Hunichen and Matt Waxman were critical of his motives.
Speaking of Polk, he indicated he might be available to participate in Hustler Casino Live's (HCL) $1,000,000 Cash Game at the end of the month after Ethan "Rampage" Yau dropped out. The latter, who has been on a downswing and recently admitted to shedding tears over a $550K loss, caught some flack for pulling out after asking fans to buy pieces and was the subject of a negative video released by Alex Duvall. Find out what the crew thinks about Rampage's current predicament, including a World Series of Poker (WSOP) challenge issued by Holtz.
Also, learn about Sofie Dossi contorting herself at the Celebrity Poker Tour Invitational III, which was won by Katie Thurston for $20,000, as well as hearing from PokerNews Ambassadors Keith Becker (Pennsylvania) and Kyle Anderson (Ontario). Finally, the crew remembers two-time bracelet winner & music icon Steve Albini, who unexpectedly passed away earlier this week.

Down to 110,000, Jessica Teusl on the button shoved, then Simone Andrian in the small blind three-bet all-in to make the big blind fold.
Jessica Teusl: A♦8♠
Simone Andrian: 6♠6♥
"Maybe I'm dead," Teusl said when she flipped over her cards. Unfortunately for her, the flop of 6♣J♦J♣ proved her right as it gave a full house to Andrian.
"I'm dead now" she joked, even if she hit the 8♥ turn. But the Q♦ river sent her to the rail and she left the tournament area.

Nitsche shoved on the Q♠Q♣8♣ flop to force Angelov to go all-in, but the Bulgarian player snap-folded.
On the very next hand, Boris Angelov shoved for 70,000 and he was called by the under-the-gun player.
Boris Angelov: A♠J♠
Under-the-gun player: K♦4♦
Angelov couldn't dream of a better flop, as he hit top pair on 5♣A♥7♠ to double up after the 10♣8♣ runout.
