With 5,500 in the pot, all three players checked to the 5♦ turn where it checked through again.
On the 5♠ river, the small blind checked, Hoang bet 500, and only the hijack called. Hoang tabled 7♠6♠ for a straight and the pot was pushed his way.

In the 915th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway and Mike Holtz are once again joined by Ben Ludlow to talk the latest stories and highlights from the poker world. That includes back-to-back WSOP Ladies Event champ Shiina Okamoto, who was back to her winning ways after taking down the Women's Event at the recently-completed EPT Barcelona. Is it time to start mentioning her name when talking about the G.O.A.T.s of the game?
Speaking of the EPT Barcelona, David Coleman had four runner-up finishes there, while Thomas Eychenne took down the EPT Barcelona Main Event for €1,217,175. It was actually in that tournament that PokerNews spotted Jesse Yaginuma and James Carroll, the two friends who caused quite the controversy over the summer in the WSOP Millionaire Maker, seated next to each other. Strange coincidence, that.
From there, Chad offers highlights from his Wisconsin hangout with Phil Hellmuth, who then went ot New Hampshire for a "Beat the Champ" weekend that saw Brandon Cantu emerge victorious. Hellmuth also remembered the late, great Poker Hall of Fame tournament director Jack McClelland.
Speaking of winners, Grant Hinkle, Nick Rigby, and Maurice Hawkins all took down titles, which are recapped in this episode and inspired Mike to share a Rigby story of his own. Also, a preview of the upcoming PokerGO Tour (PGT) Venetian Las Vegas Classic.
Finally, remember PokerNews is giving away a seat in the World Tournament of Slots (WTOS). You could have an approximate one in 500 chance at a $1,000,000 top prize. Click here to learn more about the WToS.

The player in early position raised to 800, middle position three-bet to 2,500, James Carlson cold-called in late position, as did the small blind. Early position decided to stick around as well.
The flop came 8♥3♥J♣ and it checked over to middle position who bet 3,300. Only Carlson called.
On the 6♦ turn, middle position bet 6,000 and Carlson called again, bringing the 9♣ river.
Middle position bet 12,000 and Carlson quickly called, tabling 9♥9♠ for a set of nines, besting the K♣Q♣ of middle position.
