Chad Holloway

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On the latest The Chad & Jesse Poker Show[/I][/B] straight from the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP), Chad Holloway and Jesse Fullen discuss Ali Imsirovic's video addressing the cheating allegations against him.

They are joined by renowned Japanese vlogger Masato Yokosawa, AKA “World Wide Yokosawa.” While players in the United States might think folks like Brad Owen and Andrew Neeme has the biggest vlog followings in the world, that distinction actually belongs to Masato, who regularly clears 600K views on each of his vlogs!

The Japanese vlogging sensation opens up about his start in poker, what inspired him to start a vlog, and how he’s managed to turn it into a smashing success with the help of a creative team. He also talks about his desire to win a WSOP gold bracelet, how Daniel Negreanu and Phil Hellmuth are perceived in his home country, and what the future looks like for poker in Japan.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Ren Lin raised to 2,700 on the button and the big blind called. The flop fell Q♣10♥4♥ and the big blind check-called a bet of 2,500 from Lin.

The turn brought the 8♦ and the big blind checked again. Lin put together a bet of 8,500 and his opponent still called. The river was the Q♠ and the big blind checked once more. Lin reached back for a bet of 36,500 and his opponent quickly folded.

Lin's opponent got to choose a card and flipped over the Q♥ which got ooh's and aah's from the table. "Lady gaga!" Lin laughed.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Leon Sturm had three bet Christophe Panetti to 7,100 before Panetti pushed it up to 20,000. After a quick think, Sturm folded.

The very next hand, a player in late position raised and Panetti called in the big blind. Heads up, they saw the A♠Q♠10♣ spread. Panetti started with a check and his opponent threw out two yellow chips, wagering 2,000.

Panetti responded with a raise to 6,500 and his opponent reraised to 16,000 which Panetti called. Finally, they saw the turned J♠. Panetti checked and called when his opponent bet 12,500.

The river was the 7♦ and this time Panetti took the initiative, declaring himself all in and his opponent threw his hand in the muck. Panetti chipped up significantly over a matter of just two hands, neither of which went to showdown.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

There was a raise from the hijack and the cutoff three-bet to 7,200. Andras Nemeth was on the button and shipped all in for 27,500. The hijack reshoved all in for slightly more and the cutoff opted to fold.

Andras Nemeth: J♠J♥
Opponent: Q♣Q♦

Nemeth was in need of a jack in order to stay alive and the flop of 10♥10♣2♥ provided no help. The 7♠ and 3♠ runout changed nothing and Nemeth was bounced from the tournament.

Ren Lin was just seen raking in a sizeable pot and the table has agreed that the winner must show one card. Lin let his opponent choose a card this time which got a reaction from everyone.

"Cooler! Cooler," Lin continued as the next hand was being dealt.

On the next hand, the button raised to 2,000 and Lin three-bet to 8,000 from the small blind. The big blind four-bet to 28,500 and both the button and Lin folded. Lin picked a card and it was the Q♥ that was shown this time.

"You bluff too much!" Lin continued with some table chat. "This table is fun table."
