Gunn Wins Three-Bet Pot

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

A player in middle position raised to 1,500, which saw one player in the hijack call, and another player on the button call as well. In the big blind, Robert Gunn three-bet to 6,000 and only the hijack and button called.

On the flop of {q-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-Hearts}, Gunn continued for 11,000, which sent both of his opponents into the tank.

After some time the hijack threw his hand away, leaving the button to shake his head and toss his hand into the muck, ceding the pot to Gunn.

Overholt's Soars Over The Rest

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Action was picked up with three players having moved all in on a flop of {7-Clubs}{8-Spades}{4-Hearts} after 6,100 was put into the pot preflop.

Through various betting and raising, Thomas Crawford from the small blind moved all in for 25,600, with Casey Hindman moving all in from the hijack for 31,200. Overholt checked back at his cards and put in his entire stack, covering the other two.

Thomas Crawford: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Casey Hindman: {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Dan Overholt: {6-Hearts}{5-Spades}

The board ran out {j-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and the flopped straight for Overholt, gave him the massive pot and a lead over the rest of the field.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Kerry Hildebrand
Kerry Hildebrand

Action was picked up on the flop between four players including Kerry Hildebrand in the small blind, with 4,100 in the center.

On a board reading {8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Spades}, Hildebrand checked to a player in early position who bet 2,500, folding out the other two players. Hildebrand raised to 10,100 which left her with only 300 behind and her opponent moved all in to put her at risk. She called and the cards were turned on their backs.

Kerry Hildebrand: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}

Hildebrand was in dire need of some kind of help on the turn or river. The turn {10-Hearts} gave her the help she needed and she held through the {k-Clubs} river.

A King Is Good For Gargiulo

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Action was picked up on the turn in a pot between 6 players with 5,100 in the center.

On the board reading {k-Hearts}{8-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Spades}, action checked around to a player in the small blind who bet 2,200, which only Joseph Gargiulo called from the big blind.

The river of {4-Hearts} checked through and Gargiulo turned over {k-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} for top pair, which was good as his opponent mucked. The recently crowned RGPS ring winner took down an early pot, in the hopes to find a bag in his quest for a second ring in one week.

PN Pod Mori Eskandani

In the latest PokerNews Podcast episode of 2023, Chad Holloway and Connor Richards handle things while Jesse Fullen is in Australia. They discuss Mike Postle’s sudden reappearance in the poker world after making a final table at the Million Dollar Heater at Beau Rivage in Mississippi, while also talking about the slowroll and needle that accompanied his bust out.

They try to balance that story with a heart-warming one where Johnnie “Johnnie Vibes” Moreno put a bartender into the MSPT Sycuan Main Event, with the recreational player going on to finish in fourth place for $40,000!

Other stories discussed include WSOP.com Player of the Years, Lon McEachern and Daniel Lowery winning WSOP Circuit gold rings, and early winners from the PokerGO Cup.

Speaking of which, PokerGO’s Mori Eskandani joins the show as this week’s guest. The Poker Hall of Famer talks 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) preparations, who came close to challenging Jason Koon on High Stakes Duel III (HSD), plus when we can expect the next HSD match to take place. He also discussed new developments to this year’s PokerGO Tour (PGT) and shared memories from the days when the Mirage was the hot spot for poker in Vegas.
