Steve "Cuz" Buckner joins Chad Holloway and Jesse Fullen for the third episode of The Chad & Jesse Poker Show. They talk about crazy jobs Cuz used to hold, how Cuz found himself in Vegas just weeks after watching poker for the first time, and his 2023 WSOP plans.
On a completed board of 10♦5♥3♠5♦9♦, Moonho Seo pushed all in with the superior stack. His opponent had around 28,000 behind and decided to call it off. Seo tabled his A♠A♥ for an overpair and that was good, as the Q♠10♣ of the player at risk only presented an inferior pair.

Kenneth O’Donnell, one of the WSOP's newest bracelet winners, is making his presence felt.
A player under the gun raised to 3,000, and O’Donnell, who was next to act, responded with a raise to 8,000. O’Donnell’s opponent called after action folded to him.
The flop saw 4♥8♥2♣ on the board, which the player under the gun checked. O’Donnell didn’t slow down and continued an aggressive approach by betting 6,000. His opponent peeked down at his card, and then folded.

Nozomu Shimizu, who finished third in yesterday's $5,000 Freezeout, has joined the action. He was involved in a single-raised pot to the A♣Q♥4♠Q♦ turn on which he check-raised from 7,500 to 15,000 for almost half of his stack. He initially announced 14,500 and there was a certain language barrier before he confirmed the raise.
The shove by his opponent followed and Shimizu instantly folded.

Two-time WSOP bracelet winner Humberto Brenes found himself in a precarious situation as a short stack after the dinner break.
But in two consecutive hands, he added chips to his stack.
On the first hand, Brenes was on the button when the player in the hijack raised to 3,000. Brenes, who at this point had approximately 25,000 in front of him, elected to call. The blinds folded.
The dealer placed 10♦8♣9♥ on the board, and both players checked. The 2♠ appeared on the turn, which Brenes’ opponent checked. Brenes, however, bet 10,000 and forced a fold from his opponent.
On the very next hand, action folded to Brenes in the cutoff and he raised to 5,000, which resulted in folds from both blinds and Brenes secured the 4,000 in dead money.
It remains to be seen if Brenes eventually emerges to make to a run at another bracelet, but the two pots won in consecutive hands represented a step in a positive direction.
