Chow Calls Down Correctly

Level 14 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Nick Chow

Three ways on a flop of {9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}, the player in the big blind led out for 11,000 and the player under-the-gun folded. Nick Chow called from the cutoff.

The {7-Clubs} fell on the turn and the big blind bet once more — this time for 25,000. Chow again called.

The {5-Hearts} completed the board and Chow's opponent fired a final time for 50,000. Chow called and his opponent showed {4-}{4-} for a counterfeited pair. Chow revealed {k-Spades}{9-Clubs} for nines and sevens, which was good enough to scoop the pot.

On the latest PokerNews Podcast episode of 2023, Chad Holloway and Jesse Fullen discuss a controversy from the WSOP Circuit King’s Resort that was a chopped pot but accidentally resulted in the elimination of one player at the final table.

They then turn their attention to the 2023 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) down in The Bahamas. It was there that Isaac Haxton continued his heater, and he spoke with PokerNews after winning the $100K Super High Roller. Plus, Connor Richards caught up with guest Vanessa Kade, who discussed what it was like to be awarded a coveted Platinum Pass.

Other stories discussed include Jackie Glazier being back on Australian Survivor, High Stakes Poker Season 10 premiering on PokerGO, Gabe Kaplan’s unexpected retirement from poker commentary, and the recent PokerNews article on the Top 5 Poker Movies You Must Watch.

Greg Mullen

The action started when a player in early position shoved for around 50,000. A player in middle position also shoved for 90,000. Action folded around to the small blind, who announced he was also all in for over 100k. Greg Mullen immediately also announced he was all in from the big blind, having everyone covered.

Greg Mullen: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Early position: {2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}
Middle position: {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}
Small blind: {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}

Mullen was ahead with his cowboys, and the {k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop all but sealed his victory.

The {4-Clubs} turn and {9-Diamonds} river left Mullen with a full house and he scooped the massive pot late in the day.
