On the latest episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Connor Richards, and Matt Hansen come to you from both the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise in The Bahamas!
The crew talks about the surprise appearance of 2022 EPT Prague champ Jordan Saccucci, who was a week removed from being arrested in Canada on home robbery charges. His stay didn’t last long in the Main Event as casino officials removed him from contention. Find out what happened here.
They then discuss Phil Hellmuth’s grand entrance as Poseidon flocked by 17 mermaids and a Bahamian marching band, highlight bracelet winners from the series thus far, and Erik Seidelcapturing his 10th gold bracelet, becoming just the fifth player in history to do so. Connor even grabbed a winner interview with the Poker Hall of Famer.
Daniel Neilson opened to 1.6 million on the button with K♦3♦ and Matt Glantz defended his big blind with A♠J♦.
Glantz checked on the flop of 2♥2♣9♥ and Neilson continued for 900,000. Glantz called. Glantz checked again on the 8♦ turn and Neilson checked back.
Glantz checked once more on the 3♣ river and Neilson bet 4.2 million after hitting a three on the river. Glantz called with his ace-high and saw the bad news.
Matt Glantz open-jammed a stack of 16.3 million on the button and Daniel Neilson called in the big blind with a bigger stack.
Matt Glantz: 6♠6♦
Daniel Neilson: A♠A♥
Glantz had run into aces and needed a six. He got some help as the flop of 8♠8♥9♦ gave him a backdoor straight draw, but he didn't need it as the 6♣ landed on the turn to give him sixes full of eights before the 9♥ river improved him to a better full house.
"How good does this guy run?!" exclaimed Norman Chad.
