Action was heads up with over 175,000 in the middle and 9♠3♦4♣6♥ on the board when Jerry Wade checked and Mark McGarity went all in for 179,000.
Wade went deep into the tank and counted out the chips from his big stack. After several moments, he put them out in two stacks and turned over 3♥2♥ for a pair of threes. McGarity did not like that and he turned over the dusty A♥K♥.
The river was Q♣ and McGarity made his way to the payout table.
In the 822nd episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by WPT Global,Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz & Kyna England come to you from Level 9 Studios in Las Vegas to discuss the latest poker news, stories, and gossip.
That includes Nik Airball's 20-minute tank in a big hand on The Lodge Poker Live Stream, which prompted Doug Polk to take action. That led to a discussion on pet peeves at the table, and in Mike's case, the pet part is quite literal.
The crew also plays the first edition of PokerNews Plinko, discusses Chad's poker thrift store "Tweet of the Week," and talks about the current state of poker given Bitcoin is at an all-time high. From there, they dive into the wild journey of poker vlogger Corey Eyring, who is risking his entire net worth in an attempt to win $500,000 by the end of the year. Whatever amount he ends up with, the plan is to place it all on a single roulette bet of either red or black. Chad chatted with Eyring about his crazy quest and highlighted various clips throughout the episode.
