Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

A tough few hands for Matthew Lambrecht of Team Lambrecht left him on the rail.

First, Lambrecht shoved for 690,000 from early position and when it got to Zhou Lin of Team Qian in the big blind, he had a decision.

"Ok, let's gamble!' said Lin as he pushed his 605,000 chips into the pot.

Zhou Lin: J♥8♥ All in
Matthew Lambrecht: K♥10♥

Lambrecht was ahead, but not for long as Lin found a pair on the 8♣A♠6♥ flop. A 9♣ on the turn did give Lambrecht a gutshot, but the 4♥ river bricked out.

Shortly after and with just 85,000 remaining, Lambrecht moved all in from under the gun and Peter Patricio made it 300,000. Everybody else folded.

Matthew Lambrecht: K♥8♥ All in
Peter Patricio: 5♦5♣

Lambrecht needed to win a flip to stay alive, and momentarily thought he might when he saw the king on the 5♥Q♣K♠ flop. However, Patricio had flopped a set of fives to leave Lambrecht drawing slim. A 6♦ on turn sealed the deal, and a meaningless A♦ completed the runout.

Chad Holloway

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

In the 902nd episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway and Mike Holtz do an emergency show to discuss the industry-shaking collusion controversy that stemmed from the heads-up match between Jesse Yaginuma and James Carroll in the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Millionaire Maker. Not only were seven-figure prizes up for grabs, but there was also a $1,000,000 bonus if Yaginuma were to win thanks to an outside promotion.

That fact made a big impact on what allegedly went down. Find out what happened, what fans and players are saying, and whether or not ClubWPT Gold will award the $1,000,000 bonus. Also, the WSOP did issue a statement and has yet to finalize the results of the tournament. What might happen next is anyone's guess, but Chad and Mike discuss some potential scenarios.

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!
