PN Pod Mori Eskandani
PN Pod Mori Eskandani

In the latest PokerNews Podcast episode of 2023, Chad Holloway and Connor Richards handle things while Jesse Fullen is in Australia. They discuss Mike Postle’s sudden reappearance in the poker world after making a final table at the Million Dollar Heater at Beau Rivage in Mississippi, while also talking about the slowroll and needle that accompanied his bust out.

They try to balance that story with a heart-warming one where Johnnie “Johnnie Vibes” Moreno put a bartender into the MSPT Sycuan Main Event, with the recreational player going on to finish in fourth place for $40,000!

Other stories discussed include WSOP.com Player of the Years, Lon McEachern and Daniel Lowery winning WSOP Circuit gold rings, and early winners from the PokerGO Cup.

Speaking of which, PokerGO’s Mori Eskandani joins the show as this week’s guest. The Poker Hall of Famer talks 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) preparations, who came close to challenging Jason Koon on High Stakes Duel III (HSD), plus when we can expect the next HSD match to take place. He also discussed new developments to this year’s PokerGO Tour (PGT) and shared memories from the days when the Mirage was the hot spot for poker in Vegas.

Sfez Fails Again

Level 8 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Isabel Baltazar
Isabel Baltazar

Pocket Kings were not good again for Eric Sfez.

The French player opened for 1,800 in early position, the button called and also Isabel Baltazar from the big blind.

The flop showed {j-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts} and Sfez bet in the dark. Baltazar checked first, Sfez bet 3,000 and both opponents called.

On the turn {5-Clubs}, Baltazar took the lead to 8 000, Sfez raised to 35,000, the button folded and Baltazar went all in for Sfez' stack (around 60,000 chips left). He called with pocket Kings and Baltazar showed {7-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} for a straight. He didn't improve on the river.

As Sfez joined the rail, Baltazar gathered a massive 250,000 stack.
