No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw
Action folded to Jean Gaspard in the small blind and he raised to 24,000. Philip Long called in the big blind and they both took one.
Gaspard now fired out 50,000 and Long quickly called. Gaspard turned over a 9-8-7 and Long flashed a ten before he mucked.
On a recent The Chad & Jesse Poker Show straight from the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP), the two hosts were joined by a poker legend!
This week, they are joined by Poker Hall of Famer Jack McClelland, who served as the Tournament Director of the WSOP from 1984-98. He was inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame in 2014 alongside Daniel Negreanu, and he talks about that honor as well as memories of Stu Ungar and Doyle Brunson, and what it was like to work for the legendary Benny Binion.

Limit Hold'em
Andrew Barfield raised on the button and Tamon Nakamura defended his big blind.
Nakamura led out on the 4♣K♥9♣ flop and Barfield called. The turn came the 8♠ and Barfield called another bet.
The river was the J♣ and Nakamura led out for a third time. "You're running good," Barfield said as he pondered the decision, a comment that elicited a chuckle from the Japanese pro.
Barfield eventually called. "Nuts," Nakamura said as he turned over A♣7♣ for the flush. Barfield flashed A♦K♠.
"Don't give it to him next time," Barfield said to the dealer as the table went off on break.
Limit Hold'em
David "ODB" Baker moved all in on the button and was called by Andres Korn and Fu Wong in the blinds.
The flop came 10♥A♦10♠ and Wong bet, forcing Korn to give up his hand.
"Do you have an ace," Baker asked as he showed Q♠8♥. Wong turned over A♠6♦ and Baker was already standing up from his seat and prepared to make his exit.
The Q♥ turn gave him some outs, but he missed the 5♠ river and was sent to the payout desk.
Pot-Limit Omaha
Picking up the action partway through the hand, Patrick Stacey was all in and at risk against Jean Gaspard.
Patrick Stacey: A♥K♣J♥3♥
Jean Gaspard: Q♥6♥2♠2♦
Stacey was not in awful shape but failed to improve on the 4♠7♦Q♣3♣8♠ runout, bringing his tournament to an end and handing another scalp to a rampant Gaspard.
