Kim Grabs Chips from Jacobson

Gaelle Jaudon

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

In a blind versus blind pot, the flop read J♣7♠8♣ when Martin Jacobson bet 3,000 and Esther Kim opted to call.

The turn revealed the 8♠ and this time Jacobson checked. Kim tanked a minute and bet 5,000, which was enough to make Jacobson muck his cards.

Chad Holloway

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

On the latest PokerNews Podcast episode, Chad Holloway and Jesse Fullen continue The Chad & Jesse Poker Show straight from the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP).

In the penultimate show of the summer, Chad & Jesse welcome two guests to the show starting with Josh Arieh, who has won two bracelets this summer and was nominated for the Poker Hall of Fame. Arieh talked about the WSOP back in the late 1990s, his career resurgence, Poker Stake, and shares a fun story involving Ted Forrest and the late Layne Flack.

The other guest is 2004 WSOP Main Event runner-up David Williams, who was fresh off winning a Flip & Go. He talks about his history in that event, how his WSOP gold bracelet and diamond toothpick were stolen in a home robbery, and why he wouldn’t do Master Chef again.

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

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Preflop action opened with a player in middle position raising to 6,000. Brandon Mulcrone, the small blind, then reraised all in for a total of 66,000. The action folded back to the player in middle position, who made the call.

Brandon Mulcrone: A♦J♦
Middle Position: K♣K♦

Mulcrone improved to a pair of jacks on the 2♣Q♠J♥, but would need more help to remain alive. The J♠ on the turn provided that help, and by the time the 3♠ arrived Mulcrone found himself doubled up.
