Mike Watson opened the cutoff and Samuel Mullur defended his big blind.
Mullur check-called a 4,000 bet on the Q♥10♥3♠ flop.
On the 6♣ turn, Watson sized up to 33,000 and Mullur put in the call.
The river was the 2♥. Mullur checked for a third time before Watson burned a time bank and bet 88,000 which Mullur quickly called. He got the bad news as Watson tabled 8♥5♥ for a rivered flush to drag a big one early.
Tamas Adamszki opened the action with a raise from under the gun, which was called by Sam Greenwood in the cutoff and Masashi Oya in the big blind.
The flop came K♥4♠5♥ and it was checked to Greenwood, who bet out 6,000. Oya called, and Adamszki folded.
After the 4♦ on the turn, Oya decided to lead out for a bet of 12,000, which Greenwood called.
The river brought the 4♣ and Oya checked to Greenwood, who over bet the pot to 70,000. Oya sat in the tank while debating his decision. Oya used one time extension, and was ready to throw in another, before deciding to muck his hand instead, giving the pot to Greenwood.
In the 869th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, sponsored by the free-to-play WSOP App, Chad Holloway hosts from down in The Bahamas at the 2024 World Series of Poker Paradise, while Kyna England is back at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas. Mike Holtz is out with a broken ankle, so Nikki Limo was kind enough to once again fill in as a special co-host.
Together, they discuss happening at the WSOP Paradise, the World Poker Tour (WPT) World Championship at the Wynn Las Vegas, and the European Poker Tour (EPT) Prague. That includes Phil Hellmuth making an appearance, the new stage at WSOP, and the Triton Million, which was won by Argentinean rapper Alejandro Lococo for $12 million.
Chad also had the honor of bringing the Women in Poker Hall of Fame trophy down with him to present to Kristen Foxen. In this episode, you can check out her acceptance speech, which PokerNews helped film. Speaking of the WiPHoF, Jeanne David was another inductee and she had a spot of luck drawing a Golden Passport into the ClubWPT Gold $5,000,000 Freeroll, which kicks off today!
At the EPT Prague, Thomas Santerne has already won two side event titles, while the 2022 WSOP Main Event champ, Espen Jorstad, took down the €25K Super High Roller Warm-Up for his first EPT title.
Oh, and we'll also let you know what Phil Ivey is up to as he's been seen double dipping at both the WSOP Paradise and WPT World Championship, including a planned holiday meet-up game (MUG) at the latter.
