Action picked up on the turn in a hand between Greg Frank, in the big blind and Frank Lindsay, in the cutoff.
With about 275,000 in the pot and the board reading 5♦K♠7♠6♥, Frank checked and Lindsay moved all in for 255,000. After some thought, Frank made the call.
Frank Lindsay: A♦8♦
Greg Frank: 8♠6♠
Frank's pair of sixes held when the river brought the J♣, eliminating Lindsay.
Kenneth Asher raised to 75,000 from ealry postion and was called by the small blind. Richard Buckingham then went all in from the big blind, Asher made the call and the small blind folded after some deliberation.
Kenneth Asher: A♣K♣
Richard Buckingham: A♥K♠
The dealer ran out a board of 7♦7♠10♦10♣10♥ and the pot was chopped between the two players.
Robert Parkin raised to 65,000 on the button and Frank Lindsay three-bet shoved all in from the big blind, putting himself at risk. Parkin made the call.
Frank Lindsay: K♣K♠
Robert Parkin: 8♠7♣
It was a safe flop of 3♥5♠K♦ for Lindsay, who improved to a set. He filled up on the 3♣ turn and the meaningless 2♥ rolled off on the river.
In the 839th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway is joined by Kyle Anderson and Connor Richards at Level 9 in Las Vegas and talk about latest from the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) and about town, including the much-talked-about 15-way chop in the Wynn Summer Classic Ladies Event.
Speaking of ladies, one was kicked out of a WSOP tournament as seen in a viral clip circulated on social media, but Phil Hellmuth wasn't around to see it as he took a break to head north to Montana for a family wedding. However, he soon returned to Las Vegas and immediately made a run at bracelet No. 18. Meanwhile, Daniel Negreanu keeps running into pocket aces!
Speaking of bracelet runs, the son of 2005 WSOP Main Event Joe Hachem nearly followed in his father's footsteps by capturing WSOP gold. While he fell one spot short, Daniel Hachem's run is still one of the most heart-warming stories of the 2024 WSOP thus far. Plus, learn about recent bracelet winners such as James Obst and Magnus Edengren, the "Studs & Duds" from the $25K Fantasy league, and remembering bracelet winner Matthew Parry, who unexpectedly passed away this week.
Finally, Chad wrote a poker history piece involving David Sklansky, who is looking to sell a pair of rare 1982 WSOP gold watches, and a look ahead to next week's $600 PokerNews Deepstacks Championship bracelet event.
A new PokerNews Podcast will drop twice weekly during the 2024 WSOP every Tuesday and Friday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time. Make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you do not miss an episode!
