Thomas Carroll and Nikhil Sunku took turns relaying the details from a hand to the PokerNews team.
Just before the last break, Carroll raised before the flop and received two callers. The dealer fanned out Jx9x6x and Carroll tossed out a bet. Sunku raised and Carroll called to see 9x on the turn.
Carroll fired 1,500 and called when Sunku raised to 5,000.
The river was 3x and Carroll fired 17,000. That was enough to get Sunku to fold and take the pot before Carroll showed Qx8x.
"I told him that if he called I'd show the nuts, and if he folded I'd show a bluff," Carroll said.

Campos had 10♣9♣ for two pair, but Major showed Q♦J♠ for a straight. The river was K♦ and the straight held to send Campos to the reentry window.

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.
