Leon Sturm raised to 1,000 in the cutoff and Daniel Negreanu three-bet to 2,800 from the small blind. Sturm made the call.

The flop came 3♣2♥6♣, Negreanu continued for 3,200 and Sturm called, bringing the 6♦ turn.

Negreanu didn't slow down, and put out a bet of 7,500. Sturm called again and the river landed the 9♠.

Negreanu bet again, this time for 16,000, and Sturm moved all in, putting Negreanu at risk for his tournament life.

"Alright I'm gonna need a minute for this one," said Negreanu as he began thinking out loud trying to put Sturm on a hand.

After contemplating his decision, Negreanu eventually gave up his hand saying "Well done, good hand," as he tossed his cards into the muck.

A Controversial Angle & Wild 7-Bet Bubble Hand in WSOP Main Event | PokerNews Podcast #846

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Chad Holloway

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

In the 846th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway and Kyna England are joined at Level 9 Studio by PokerNews Pennsylvania Ambassador Keith Becker, who served as special co-host to talk about the latest happenings at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP).

That included a controversial hand from Day 3 that some viewed as an angle and/or scummy, as well as the wild seven-bet bubble hand on Day 4. What two hands could inspire two big stacks to get 120 big blinds all in preflop on the money bubble? Find out here. The trio also take a look at the WSOP Main Event payouts and how they compare to past years, which former Main Event champs lasted the longest, and how both Mo Nuwwarah and Josh Reichard took pre-tournament misfortune and used it as motivation to make a deep run into Day 5.

Chad also shares why he was inspired to turn extra links from his WSOP gold bracelet into a pair of gold earrings, while Keith talks about his life in the Keystone State, which includes a successful Twitch stream. As a matter of fact, he even streamed from the recently completed Global Poker x PokerNews Cup, which crowned a pair of Freeroll Finale Champions.

Finally, hear about recent WSOP gold bracelet winners including Garth Yettick, Carsten Heidemann, Matthew Alsante, and Chance Kornuth, who took down Event #85: $1,000 Flip & Go for his fourth gold bracelet. Hear from Kornuth himself in our winner's interview. Oh, and don't forget your regular $25K Fantasy update.

A new PokerNews Podcast will drop twice weekly during the 2024 WSOP every Tuesday and Friday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time. Remember to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you do not miss an episode!
