Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Action was picked up on the turn with the board showing 2♠7♠J♠5♦ and 20,000 in the pot.
After the turn Grant Givens moved all in for his stack of 14,500. Jason Coleman then sat in the tank for nearly two minutes, before making the call to put Givens at risk.
Grant Givens: A♠10♣ 
Jason Coleman: J♦7♦
Coleman was in front with his two pair, but would need to fade a spade as Givens had the nut flush draw. But the 6♣ on the river was safe for Coleman, giving him the pot and knocking out Givens.

In the 885th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Kyna England discuss the biggest pot in High Stakes Poker history, a $1.4 million monster won by Alan Keating. That led to a bigger discussion on the state of televised poker and the game's modern vs. old-school characters.
The crew also discusses the report that Phil Hellmuth apparently missed out on an $80 million payday after declining to invest $15,000 into a company, the status of Doug Polk's "Code Doug" challenge, and recent tournament winners including Daniel Negreanu and Chino Rheem. Oh, they also took a look at some of the best April Fools' Day pranks from the poker world, including one from PokerNews featuring Nik Airball.
Chad then offers a glimpse into his recent run in the MSPT Riverside. Everyone shares their thoughts on the 2025 Wynn Summer Classic schedule. In a new round of Collusion Mind Meld, Mike and Kyna try to get on the same page. Despite some early struggles, they do manage to hit their stride.
