In the 928th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway is joined by Mike Holtz and Ben Ludlow at Level 9 Studios to talk about the SWAT team raid of a low-stakes poker game in Sweden. Find out what caused armed authorities, supported by drones and even a helicopter, to raise the $100 buy-in poker tournament.
The trio then discusses the physical altercation between Maurice Hawkins and a player known as "Eugene" in a Florida home game. Was Maurice running his mouth? Was it an unprovoked attack? Not only do you get to hear about what happened, but you can see some video clips of the scuffle itself.
Other topics covered are Daniel Negreanu's post on players that learn via solvers versus those who do their "own thing," where Michael Addamo falls in that conversation, and PokerNews being named the official live reporting partner for the 2026 Aussie Millions. Plus, a look ahead to the WSOP Paradise, WPT World Championship & EPT Prague underway, and given that Jonathan Little is coming out with a new book, we thought it'd be a good time for another giveaway. It's your chance to win a copy of Little's book 100 Essential Tips. Visit dandbpoker.com to preorder Jonathan Little's new book.

Level 12
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
The 98 remaining players have been sent on their first 15-minute break of the day.
Level 12
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Nick Schulman raised to 33,000 from the cutoff, and Hannes Jeschka in the small blind three-bet to 110,000 before Mehdi Chaoui moved all in from the big blind for 140,000. Both Schulman and Jeschka made the call.
The flop came 4♠4♥K♠, and Schulman called a bet of 40,000 from Jeschka.
Both players checked the 3♦ on the turn, which brought the 2♠ on the river. Jeschka then bet out 50,000, before Schulman raised to 290,000, and Jeschka made the call.
Schulman turned over A♠Q♠ for a flush, and Jeschka showed K♣Q♣ before tossing it in the muck, giving Schulman the side pot. For the main pot, Chaoui was disgusted to see his A♥A♦ get run down by Schulman and was eliminated after getting his aces cracked.

Orpen Kisacikoglu and Eelis Parssinen exchanged raises from the button and big blind that saw the latter all-in and at risk for his last 164,000.
Eelis Parssinen: A♦A♠
Orpen Kisacikoglu: A♥J♠
Kisacikoglu picked up outs to Broadway on the K♣Q♥2♠ flop, but Parssinen managed to survive after the 6♥ turn and 3♣ river.

Jason Koon raised to 27,000 from middle position, and was called by the small blind, Gabriel Tavares, and the big blind [Removed:564].
After the J♣9♣10♦ flop, it was checked to Koon, who fired out 24,000. Tavares called, and [Removed:565] got out of the way.
The turn was the 7♥, and Tavares check-called a bet of 71,000 from Koon.
Once the K♠ hit on the river, Tavares again check-called a bet from Koon, this time for 80,000. Koon tabled K♥Q♥ for a flopped straight to give him the pot as Tavares mucked his hand.

In a limped pot blind on blind, the flop came Q♦10♣9♣ and Martin Kabrhel in the small blind check-called a bet of 20,000 from Leonard Maue in the big blind.
After the 2♦ on the turn, Kabrhel again check-called a bet, this time for 75,000.
Both players checked after the 2♥ on the river, as Kabrhel tabled 9♥8♣, but Maue had the winner with Q♠8♠ to take the pot.
Level 12
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Kayhan Mokri found himself all in for 193,000, and Matthias Lipp called to put Mokri at risk.
Kayhan Mokri: A♦K♦
Matthias Lipp: Q♦Q♣
It was a classic flip with Mokri needing to improve, and he did just that after the board ran out 7♦3♦10♠6♥A♥ and he spiked an ace on the river to double up.
