Sacha Cohen raised to 200,000 from the hijack, then Gwendal Le Foll on the button shoved for 1,015,000. Cohen went into the tank, and eventually called.
Gwendal Le Foll: K♦K♠
Sacha Cohen: A♣7♥
On a board of 3♦2♠J♦9♠3♥, Le Foll remained in the led and doubled up.
Luigi Macaluso raised to 200,000 from under the gun, the cutoff called, as did Hugues Girard, in the big blind.
The action checked to Macaluso, who continued for 260,000 on the 9♥10♦3♣ flop. The cutoff folded and Girard check-raised to 750,000. Macaluso called.
The 7♦ turn checked through to the 7♥ river. Girard placed a small bet of 200,000 and Macaluso responded with a raise to 1,000,000. After some table talk, Girard tossed his cards into the muck. Macaluso proudly showed Q♦J♥ for just queen high.
In the 831st episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by PokerStars, Chad Holloway and Kyna England are joined by Nikki Limo, who is filling in for Mike Holtz, at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas to talk about her time as the Loose Cannon on the PokerStars Big Game. The first two episodes recently dropped featuring Limo squaring off against Phil Hellmuth, Alex Keating, Arden Cho, Lex Veldhuis, and Jennifer Tilly.
Limo discusses how she got cast for the show, what happened when she played "Two Truths and a Bluff," and then Kyna & Chad surprise her by offering up some bluffs of their own. Limo also delves into a big hand that she played against the "Poker Brat" that went poker viral.
The crew then talked about the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) being less than a week away, and take a look at some of the "Best Without a Bracelet" including Maria Ho, Seth Davies, and Bin Weng, just to name a few. Plus, will Phil Ivey be at the 2024 WSOP? Find out what the hosts think in this episode.
Finally, Kyna and Nikki play a game of #PokerThrift in which they have to guess whether or not Chad bought some random poker items he found in secondhand stores in Las Vegas. Oh, and there's a preview of Raminder Singh's appearance on PokerNews' Life Outside Poker show hosted by Connor Richards.
