Level 7
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
From middle position, Tobias Zobrist raised to 2,800. Thomas Sanli called in the small blind, and Marco Magisano defended from the big blind.
Sanli was first to act after the dealer spread out the 6♣5♦Q♣ flop, and he decided to lead out for 3,000. Magisano folded but Zobrist called.
A bet of 6,000 came from Sanli when he saw a 3♣ arrive on the turn. Zobrist returned his cards to the dealer, surrendering the pot to Sanli.

Samuel Klocker raised it up to 2,500 on the button with Marius Gicovanu calling out of the small blind, and Marc Wetzold defending from the big blind.
Once Gicovanu checked the A♠2♥4♥ flop, Wetzold led out for 3,500, and only Klocker called.
A 6♦ fell on the turn, and Wetzold led out again, this time choosing the amount of 8,000. Klocker called.
Another 8,000 bet came from Wetzold on the 10♠ river. Klocker put in the call and was shown a bluff from Wetzold with K♥9♠. Klocker showed A♦3♥ for a pair of aces and he was given the pot.

Michael Back came in for a raise to 3,000 on the button and Benjamin Hammann defended from the big blind.
Hammann check-called a bet of 6,000 from Back on the A♣7♥8♣ flop.
A 6♥ on the turn caused Hammann to check again. Back quickly bet 20,000, and Hammann revealed the A♦ as he folded.
Back was kind enough to show he had turned the nuts with 10♦9♣ as the pot headed over to him.

With about 55,000 in the pot on a completed board of 7♥2♣10♥4♦10♦, Walter Blaettler had bet 25,000 from middle position, and Yves Thalmann, who was seated in the cutoff, was visibly agonizing over the spot he was in. After close to a minute of tanking, Thalmann called.
Blaettler flipped over a boat with 2♠2♥, causing Thalmann to muck, and Blaettler boosted his stack up to around 200,000.

In the 943rd episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Ben Ludlow are joined by TJ Reid at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas. The quartet talks about the viral and vulnerable tweet sent by famed vlogger Brad Owen, who was open about burnout and how he's currently feeling within the poker space. It's an intimate look at a part of the game that's not often talked about.
They then discuss the perfect 300 bowling game of Ryan Riess, who won some money from Jesse Lonis, as well as Jorge Abreu crushing the EPT Paris final table, getting lucky in a wild hand and against Felix Schneiders heads-up, and wins from Nick Seward and NFL Hall of Famer Richard Seymour. Plus, Chad was at the RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) Reno to play in his first PokerNews PowerStack. See highlights from that tournament, as well as Hamid Izadi's win in the stop's main event.

Arriving at the table to see Salih Atac was all-in and at risk preflop for his final 17,300, and Saverio Scia was the one trying to eliminate him just before the dinner break.
Salih Atac: A♣J♥ 
Saverio Scia: 4♣4♠
It was a race that Atac needed to win to remain seated, and he managed to pull ahead on the K♠6♦J♦ flop by pairing his jack.
The remainder of the board ran out J♠K♦ to give Atac a boat, and he doubled through Scia.
