In the 912th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway comes to you from the Chamada Prestige Hotel & Casino, which is currently hosting the World Poker Tour (WPT) Cyprus Championship. It's there that he caught up with Will Kassouf for an exclusive interview to discuss his controversial run in the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, why he acts the way he does, and where things currently stand between him and the WSOP. Chad also asks if he experienced any sort of mental health situation during the WSOP, or perhaps was influenced by any sort of substances, while also inquiring how Kassouf thinks he's perceived in the poker world. Spoiler Alert: he says he is the 'Donald Trump of poker.'
Chad then sat down with WPT commentator Tony Dunst, who bagged Day 1a of the $3,500 WPT Cyprus Championship. The two Wisconsin boys talk about visiting Cyprus for the first time, sports, and what life is like nowadays for the debonair Dunst, who has now been with the WPT for 15 years!
These are two interviews that you don't want to miss!

Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
The player who lost the prior all-in hand but survived because of his chip stack was all in for 9,300 in early position. Both blinds called.
On the 9♦4♠5♣ flop, Cory Brinkman checked and folded to 5,000 from Charlie Dawson.
Charlie Dawson: 6♠5♠
Opponent: K♦J♣ 
The A♠ closed off some outs on the turn, and Dawson improved on the 6♦ river to a winning two pair.

Ken Baime opened under the gun for 2,700, Charlie Dawson called in middle position, and the player on the button just jammed for almost 60,000. Baime took about 30 seconds and called off. Dawson did the same.
Ken Baime: A♣J♦
Charlie Dawson : Q♣Q♦
Third player: A♠K♥
The 7♦Q♥7♠ flop was perfect for Dawson, but the 7♥ did bring a minor sweat. The 4♠ kept queens full best, though.

A player opened for 2,500 in middle position and faced a large three-bet shove worth 32,100 from Terry Standifar in the cutoff. After some time in the tank, the middle player slammed a stack of chips in.
Terry Standifar: J♥J♦
Opponent: A♠K♦
The K♥2♣7♦ flop left Standifar wanting, but the J♣ sewed it up for him on the turn.

On a 2♠3♥4♦ flop, there was about 15,000 in the middle between a player in early position and Matthew Lawrence in the next seat. The first player bet 6,200. Lawrence raised to 15,000 and that earned him the pot without showdown.
