Is Shiina Okamoto Becoming a Poker Superstar? | PokerNews Podcast #915

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

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.

Low Flush Good for Romero

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Pierrick Le Guen opened to 2,500 from the button, and Franck Romero defended in the big blind.

On the K92 flop, Romero check-called in the face of a bet of 2,500 from Le Guen.

The same pattern followed on the 4 turn, this time in respect of a bet of 3,500 from Le Guen.

The Q river completed the board, bringing one-card flush possibilities, and was checked through.

Romero tabled 44, his turned set of fours improving to a four-high flush on the river, and that was enough to force Le Guen to muck.
