Matthew Yankowski: 9♥7♣5♣4♥

Yankowski turned the nuts as the 6♥ peeled off, and Torres was unable to get back on top on the 3♣ river.

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

Catching the action on the turn with the board showing K♣9♠Q♥J♣ and with over 70,000 in the middle.

Alexis Adda was in the small blind and opted to jam his stack of 31,500 into the middle. Maxx Coleman, who was seated in the hijack, went into the tank. After thinking for quite some time, Coleman opted to fold his hand and surrender the pot to Adda.

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

Antti Marttinen got it all in preflop as the covering stack, and found himself up against Rafael Rodriguez and Sylvain Naets.

Rafael Rodriguez: A♣Q♠10♦9♥ All in
Sylvain Naets: 6♠5♣4♠3♣ All in
Antti Marttinen: A♦Q♥10♥3♦

Rafael Rodriguez was already up and out of his chair on the turn, as the board read J♣4♦5♦2♠. Naets was ready to bring in the pot with the nuts, but the J♦ brought those hopes crashing down, as Marttinen hit his flush and knocked both other players out.

Chad Holloway

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

In the 898th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Kyna England and Mike Holtz are back at Level 9 Studio to offer their thoughts on Doug Polk's recent appearance on Kill Tony, the popular Austin-based stand-up comedy program. How did Doug do in front of Tony Hinchcliffe and company? Let's just say you might be surprised.

Mike, who made a recent appearance in Daniel Negreanu's vlog, then sounds off on the cancelled WSOP Online bracelet event, the crew discusses the recently-announced changes to the WSOP Circuit, Chad goes to the world's largest casino collectibles show, and Matt Savage offers his thoughts as a special guest speaker.

Other topics include bracelet wins by Nick Schulman, Jason Koon, and John Racener, highlights from recent Charity Series of Poker (CSOP) events, and an exclusive interview with famed poker author Michael Kaplan, who recently released a new book, Advantage Players. The veteran scribe shares several poker stories, including Phil Ivey and Kelly Sun's baccarat edge sorting, the legendary Billy Baxter, and what it was like working with Stu Ungar in what was one of the final, if not THE final, interviews before he passed in 1998.

Learn about all those stories and more in the latest episode of the PokerNews Podcast!

A new PokerNews Podcast will drop twice a week during the 2025 WSOP every Thursday and Sunday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time. Remember to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you do not miss an episode!
