Nick Petrangelo opened the action with a raise in the cutoff and was called by Cary Katz in the small blind and Bryn Kenney in the big blind.

Cary Katz: 8♥6♥ All in
Bryn Kenney: 5♥4♥

The board ran out 3♦, 2♥ with both players hitting a flush on the river. Katz saw the pot being pushed his way with the higher flush.

Katz Is a Grinder

Connor Richards

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Isaac Haxton opened to 35,000 in the cutoff and Thomas Boivin defended in the big blind.

The flop of 7♠9♥8♣ checked through and both players checked again on the 3♦ turn. Boivin then bet 125,000 on the 9♣ river and Haxton called, only to muck as Boivin showed 9♦4♦ for trip nines.

As the hand played out, a colorful side conversation took place as Cary Katz tried to figure out what the dating app Grindr was after an earlier comment from Nick Petrangelo.

"I'm a grandpa, I don't keep up with these Grindr apps," said Katz. "I'm going to ask Grok."

Bryn Kenney then interrupted Katz' search and told him it was a dating app.
