Eric Cloutier raised from the cutoff, and Jessica Teusl, who had around 27,000 chips, pushed all in from the small blind. The big blind folded, and Cloutier quickly called.
Jessica Teusl: K♦Q♦
Eric Cloutier: KxKx
The community cards did not help Teusl as the board ran out 4♠J♦2♣2♠5♠ and she was eliminated.
A player on the button moved all in for his remaining 21,000, prompting the small blind to fold.
WSOP bracelet winner Pei Li peeked at his cards and immediately called to put his opponent at risk.
Opponent: A♦4♥
Pei Li: 4♦4♣
The dealer fanned 6♦K♥10♠ on the board, keeping Li’s pocket pair ahead. The 3♠ appeared on the turn, followed by the 9♣ on the river to give Li the knockout blow.
An under the gun player raised to 3,000, Michael Zulker made the call from middle position and everyone else folded.
The dealer fanned a A♣5♥7♦ flop, the under the gun player bet 3,000 and Zulker made the call.
Both players checked on the 7♠ turn card.
The river was the 4♣, the under the gun player checked, Zulkner bet, and his opponent thought for a while before deciding on a fold.
Zulker was happy to win a pot without showdown and hopes his chips keep moving in the right direction.
Action was picked up preflop with a middle position player all in and at risk against Jorg Bassmann.
Middle Position Player :5♦5♣
Jorg Bassmann :7♥7♠

For the sixth episode, Connor spoke with longtime poker pro and coach Faraz Jaka, who was fresh off a runner-up finish in the World Series of Poker (WSOP) $25,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em Championship. Jaka talked about running up a six-figure bankroll in college, going broke and moving down stakes, battling back from a debilitating back injury to win his first bracelet in 2023 and running deep in this year's $25,000 Heads-Up Championship.
Jaka also talked about his site Jaka Coaching, discussed what makes a good poker coach and offered advice for players looking to grind the WSOP this summer.
This interview took place at the 2024 WSOP in Las Vegas and was filmed inside Horseshoe Las Vegas.
