Elanit Hasas raised to 500 and Travis Simpson called from the next seat over. The flop was 10♠A♠J♠ and Hasas check-called a bet of 500 from Simpson. Both players checked the 5♠ to get to the 9♠ river. Hasas fired 2,200 but Simpson raised to 5,200 and that was enough to take the pot.
Across the room, Alan Franco flagged down the PokerNews team to share the story of his demise. He sat down for his very first hand with 10x9x and the flop fell JxQxKx. Franco got it all in and Gregory Shields called with less before turning over the better straight with Ax10x. The hand left Franco with just 500, but he has since spun it up to 8,300.
Meanwhile, Angela Jordison, Raymond Leone, Caitlin Comeskey, and Edward Mroczkowski have joined the fun.

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.
Finally, the crew once again touches on Kevin Martin's 24/7 stream while attempting to win $5,000 playing online, which came to an unceremonius end.

Elanit Hasas raised to 500 from under the gun and Roy Crews called from the button before Jerry Nackashi joined the party from the big blind.
The flop was 8♠5♦3♦ and Nackashi checked before Hasas tossed out 1,000. Crews called and Nackashi folded before the K♥ fell on the turn. Hasas bet 3,000 and that was too much for Crews to continue so he gave up the pot.
Meanwhile, Nackashi is among the early leaders with double the starting stack before the end of the first level.
