Level 8 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

On a heads-up flop of 7♦6♥4♦, Mrityunjay Jha led for 4,500 but was then raised to 12,000 from Joseph Bergh.

After thinking it over, Jha made the call and the two continued to the turn K♠, where the action went check-check.

When the river fell the A♠, Jha led for 7,500 but once again, Bergh raised the stakes by moving all in for 48,800.

Jha thought about it for close to a minute but eventually decided to let it go and the pot was pushed to Bergh.

Level 8 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

After a player opened preflop, Henrieta Acain moved all in for around 21,000 and action folded to Scott Young who shoved for more. This move got the rest of the players out of the way and the cards were tabled.

Henrieta Acain: 4♥4♦ All in
Scott Young: K♥K♣

Acain would need a lot of help to stay alive, and he did pick up some outs on the 3♣8♣6♣5♠ turn, but the river was the brick Q♥ to send hin to the rail while Young raked in the pot.

Level 7 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

After two players limped preflop, Anthony Astorga in the small blind raised the price of poker to 8,500 and was only called by Robert Mize in the big blind.

When the flop came out 7♣J♦K♥, Astorga continued for 6,000 and was called by Mize to see the turn 9♦.

Both players decided to check, and they did the same on the river 8♦.

Mize flipped over A♠J♠ for a pair of jacks, but Astorga had him beat when he rolled over Q♣Q♠ and was awarded the pot.

In the 849th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by 888poker, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Kyna England are at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas to talk about the "Laptopgate" controversy that came out of Jonathan Tamayo's big win in the 2024 WSOP Main Event for $10,000,000.

Not only do the crew talk about it, but they also share clips from two interviews Doug Polk conducted, the first with runner-up Jordan Griff and the other with two prominent poker personalities Daniel Negreanu and Alan Keating.

Tabidze Spikes the River

Level 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

After a preflop betting war, all the chips found their way into the middle between Irakli Tabidze and Andrew Nguyen, with Nguyen having the shorter stack.

Andrew Nguyen: J♠J♥ All in
Irakli Tabidze: K♠K♣

Tabidze was well in the lead with his pocket kings, but the flop of 7♠J♣Q♣ gave Nguyen a big boost as he hit a set of jacks to pull ahead.

However, the battle was quite over as the turn 9♣ brought in a ton of outs for Tabidze, as any club, ten, or king would give him the victory.

Sure enough, the river fell the brutal K♥ to give him a superior set of kings to take the pot and sent Nguyen to the rail.

Level 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

After some preflop betting, Lucian Gruia moved all in for 13,500 and Robert Anderson made the call after pndering for a few moments.

Lucian Gruia: A♠7♠ All in
Robert Anderson: 6♠6♦

"Hey, I got two overs! Come on, lucky seven!"

Sure enough, a seven appeared right in the window of the 7♥4♦Q♥ flop to give him the lead, and the runout of 2♥8♦ changed nothing to award him the pot for the double.
