Wien Finds Himself in Tricky Spot

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

A player under the gun limped for 4,000, Jeremy Wien in early position followed suit and the button moved all in for 26,000.

The original raiser didn't realize Wien's presence in the pot and snap-called, prematurely tabling K♦Q♦.

Wien now went into the tank, inadvertently receiving more information on the situation than he intended. Confirming that the under-the-gun player only had 18,000 behind, Wien moved all in and the original raiser called.

Button: K♠10♠
Under the Gun: K♦Q♦
Jeremy Wien: A♦9♦

Wien was ahead the whole way as the board ran out 2♠9♥2♣5♠9♣. His trips sent both players to the rail.

Feeling somewhat guilty about his opponent's mistake, Wien said "What am I supposed to do, pretend I didn't see his cards?".

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Vyacheslav Stoyanov raised in the cutoff to 9,000 and the big blind three-bet all in for about 57,500 and Stoyanov made the call.

Big blind: A♥J♠
Vyacheslav Stoyanov: 10♠10♥

The board ran out 10♣7♦9♣4♥3♥ and Stoyanov won with a set of tens. The big blind player commented on his way out, with a smirk, "That guy got lucky against me" and then he walked over and shook his hand.

Ido Aboudi raised under the gun to 8,000, finding the big blind who elected to defend.

The flop came 9♠K♥2♥. The big blind check-called a bet of 6,000 from Aboudi.

The turned 9♥ saw a repeat of the action, this time Aboudi sizing up to 7,000.

The Q♥ on the river saw the big blind check again. Aboudi emptied the clip, shoving all in for 30,000. The big blind went into the tank before finally flicking in the call.

Ido Aboudi: K♣9♣
Big Blind: K♦10♠

Aboudi got the maximum out of his turned full house.

The Chad & Jesse Poker Show - Poker Vlogger Ryan Depaulo is Latest Guest

Level 15 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

On the latest episode, Jesse Fullen and special co-host Norman Chad continue The Chad & Jesse Poker Show straight from the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP).

The two start by debating the pros and cons of the 2023 WSOP Main Event payouts before welcoming this week’s guest – poker vlogger Ryan Depaulo.

Among the topics they discuss with the Whole Foods parking lot bracelet winner are his biggest score to date (third place in the Colossus), what his father told him (“Don’t punt”), and Joey the Mush. Plus, they ask if he was banned from Borgata for vlogging, his main poker influence, and whether or not he’s a withered pro.

Norman Chad and Jesse then do a new "Calling the Clock" segment in which they offer quick two-minute dialogues for topics on “The Board.”

Davis Aalvik was under the gun and pushed all in for 60,000 and Abby Merk called all in for 55,000. The small blind Yann Perron then called both bets.

Yann Perron: 8♥8♦

The board came out 3♥4♥9♣6♦Q♣ and Perron's pair of eights busted Aalvik and Merk.

Hansen's River Bet Gets Through

Tyler Foran

Level 15 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

There was a raise to 9,000 in early position before Soeren Baekgaard Hansen three-bet 24,000 on the button. The action folded back around to the original raiser and he made the call.

The dealer fanned a flop of A♠9♥5♣, and both players checked to see the 7♣ turn.

The early position player checked once again, and Hansen fired out a bet of 18,000. The early position player took about 30 seconds before making the call.

The 9♣ fell on the river, and once checked to, Hansen fired again, this time for 40,000.

The early position player started talking aloud, "I almost didn't even call the 18,000 on the turn. I know you hit the ace, you almost jumped out of your chair."

Hasen nodded silently.

Eventually, Hansen's opponent folded, as he said, "Show the bluff, make me look dumb."

Hansen opted not to show as he pushed forward his cards and collected the pot.

Mitchell Watson raised from early position to 12,000, finding one caller on the button.

Watson continued for 12,000 on a board of 7♠6♥3♦. The button called.

The 4♣ on the river saw Watson check again. The button bet out 25,000 and Watson went into the tank. Thinking for nearly two minutes, he flicked in the call.

Mitchell Watson: K♥6♠
Button: K♦Q♦

Watson took down this pot.
