In the 858th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by WPT Global, Chad Holloway and Mike Holtz are joined by World Poker Tour (WPT) President Adam Pliska at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas to talk about the WPT World Championship, which isn't featuring a guarantee this year but instead is offering players the opportunity at a $5,000,000 Freeroll, the largest freeroll in poker history! Pliska shares how players can enter for a chance at one of 2,000 seats, plus elaborates on whether or not we might see another WPT Voyage.
Speaking of the WPT, they just wrapped up a stop in Australia that poker pro James Obst won, and you can't talk about the "Land Down Under" without mentioning the WPT's Lynn Gilmartin. Plus, hear about highlights from the WPT Foundation Russell Westbrook's 4th Annual Poker Night, remembering Mike Sexton on what would have been his 77th birthday, and a preview of upcoming WPT stops (Chad will be at the Playground Poker Club in Montreal at the end of October).
Mike and Chad then recap Jim Collopy capturing the Poker Masters Purple Jacket, Ben Tollerene claiming the final title of that series, and offer a look at some recent NAPT Gold Pass winners. Speaking of Gold Passes, learn how you can win one via either the PokerNews Podcast & Life Outside Poker Podcast giveaway, PokerGO drawing a random annual subscriber, or the Path to the NAPT for online players.
Finally, Chad and Mike, a two-time online player of the year, talk about the bombshell article on Bloomberg exposing a Russian poker bot farm and the ramifications it could have on the industry. Learn about those stories and more in the latest episode of the PokerNews Podcast.
A new PokerNews Podcast will drop weekly every Friday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time. Remember to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you do not miss an episode!

Abdou Zizi opened from middle position before Karim Hachem jammed his remaining 14,000 from the small blind, and Zizi put in the call.
Karim Hachem: A♠A♣ 
Abdou Zizi: A♦10♦
Zizi was in bad shape as he ran into the aces of Hachem. However, the Q♠10♠10♣ flop vaulted Zizi into the lead as the table jumped from their chairs. The 8♣ on the turn was no help to Hachem and the dealer peeled the 10♥ on the river for good measure as Zizi improved to quads to eliminate Hachem in brutal fashion.

On a completed board of J♦J♣3♣6♣K♥ with around 18,000 in the middle, "Zakaria" led with a bet of 7,400 from middle position. In the hijack, Drisse Maouchi jammed for for 38,000 effective as the covering stack.
Zakaria went deep into the tank before he eventually called.
"Zakaria": J♥5♥
Drisse Maouchi: A♥8♣
Zakaria had flopped trips but had a tough decision for his tournament life after a courageous bluff from Maouchi who was left crippled after the hand.

Cecile Ticherfatine opened to 2,000 from under the gun. In middle position, Rene Peterkopf three-bet to 6,000. It folded back to Ticherfatine who took some time before she announced all-in and Peterkopf snapped it off for 48,000 as the slightly smaller stack.
Rene Peterkopf: Q♥Q♦
Cecile Ticherfatine: A♦K♥
It was the most famous of all races in a pot worth 100,000 chips. The K♠J♦4♣ flop vaulted Ticherfatine into the lead and it stayed that way on the K♣9♥ runout as Peterkopf hit the exit at the hands of Ticherfatine.
