Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Jonathan Greene opened the cutoff to 80,000 and Brian Hastings called on the button. In the small blind, Shaun Deeb potted to 320,000 and only Hastings called.

On the 9♥8♣3♣ flop, Deeb jammed for 210,000 and Hastings called.

Shaun Deeb: A♦9♠4♦2♣ All in
Brian Hastings: A♥8♦5♥4♣

Deeb held top pair and the better low draw against the middle pair of Hastings. The 10♠3♦ runout changed nothing as no low was possible and Deeb scooped with a pair of nines.

Jordan Siegel raised to 80,000 under the gun and Christopher Vitch called in the hijack. Jonathan Depa then three-bet to 335,000 in the big blind and only Vitch called.

Depa got in his last 150,000 on the J♦7♣5♠ flop and Vitch snap-called.

Jonathan Depa: A♦5♦4♦2♥ All in
Christopher Vitch: A♣6♠5♣4♠

Both players had a pair of fives with a draw to the same low and were poised to chop the pot as the 2♠ fell on the turn. The river was the A♠ and Vitch made a running flush and played his 6♠4♠ for the low to scoop the pot and send Depa to the rail in 19th place.

"If you had done that to me, the friendship would've been over," Siegel told Vitch after the hand.

Sam Soverel raised to 90,000 from early position before Dennis Weiss three-bet to 315,000 from the hijack. When it folded back to Soverel, he called.

Both players checked the 5♣10♠J♠ flop to see the 4♦ appear on the turn. Soverel potted it, causing Weiss to go into the tank. Weiss only had around 500,000 left in his stack, and after a bit of thinking, Weiss let go of his cards.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

In the 897th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway and Kyna England are joined by PokerNews Ontario Ambassador Kyle Anderson, who fills in for Mike Holtz. The trio discusses the deadly shooting that took place across the street from the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) in front of the Bellagio Fountains, and then dives into the color-up controversy involving Tyler Brown, who shared his story with PokerNews.

Kyna then sounds off on the cancelled WSOP Online bracelet event, Michael Lavin won a gold bracelet and an extra $1,000,000 thanks to ClubWPT Gold, and Benny Glaser claimed two bracelets early in the summer. Other tournament winners include Josh Reichard, Brad Ruben, Blaz Zerjav, and Nick Guagenti, who denied Chino Rheem his first bracelet.

After recapping Dusti Smith's win in the Wynn Ladies High Roller and a look ahead to some upcoming poker charity events, Chad shares details on his recent Live Reality Game (LRG) adventure in which he left the WSOP for 10 days to compete in a Survivor-based game, Surviving Reelfoot Season 13, in the woods of Tennessee.

Philip Sternheimer raised to 85,000 in the cutoff and James Obst three-bet to 285,000 in the small blind. Sternheimer then moved all in for 1,050,000 and Obst snap-called.

"Whoa, we have a big one here," tablemate Michael Korody said as they went to reveal their cards.

Philip Sternheimer: A♥A♠K♣7♦ All in
James Obst: A♣Q♠10♠8♣

Sternheimer hit the last ace in the deck on the A♦5♦3♦ flop to make to top set, while the rest of the board ran out 9♥2♣ to also give him a low and a double up.

Obst dropped a few more chips the next hand when he raised to 70,000 on the button and Korody called in the big blind.

Both players checked the A♥9♣4♣ flop and Obst bet another 70,000 on the 9♦ turn. Korody called to the Q♣ river, where Obst bet 175,000.

"I call. I have the nut flush," Korody said, turning over A♣K♥7♣4♥ as Obst mucked. "I didn't even realize I had the flush until I looked back at the board. I almost folded," Korody admitted.
