Andrey Zhigalov: XxXx/10♠J♠Q♠9♣/Xx
Qinghai Pan: 5♥4♥2♠/3♥7♥4♣A♣

Andrey Zhigalov completed and found one caller in Qinghai Pan. Zhigalov check-called bets from Pan on fourth and fifth street, with Pan leading out after catching an ace on sixth street.

Zhigalov kept calling, and did so too when Pan put in a final barrel on seventh street.

Pan tabled the nut low, which meant he also had a straight, and Zhigalov shook his head and mucked his cards in defeat.

Pan bet on fourth street and Zhigalov called to create a side pot. Zhigalov bet on fifth and sixth as Pan called before they checked on seventh.

Pan showed A♦K♥2♣ for kings and jacks, while Zhigalov had a 7-6 low. "Just because I have no chips I made it on fifth street," Frazin said as he turned over 9♥8♣4♥ for a straight. Pan and Zhigalov chopped the side pot, while Zhigalov and Frazin chopped the main pot.

"Still can't scoop with a straight," Frazin lamented.

Both players checked fifth street before Frazin's last 15,000 was committed on sixth street. Pan's part of sevens was ahead, but Frazin made a pair of aces to scoop the pot.

"My first scoop!" he celebrated as he doubled up.

Lin called, and did so too when Frazin bet on sixth and seventh street. Frazin turned over a straight to the ten, and Lin mucked his cards as he conceded the pot.

"Don't talk to me. You're just like a guy at a cash game who wants me to win money just so he can take it from me," Tim Frazin joked with Tomasz Gluszko as they went to fourth street.

Gluszko then bet and Frazin called. They checked down the rest of the board and Gluszko showed A♥4♣5♣ for a pair of aces to win the pot.

"I'm so unlucky that last night I found a hooker at the Bellagio for $600. I got undressed then found out she wanted $1,100 more. I'm so unlucky I found out my girlfriend isn't really a girl," Frazin joked.

Tim Frazin: XxXx/6♥J♦4♠5♠/Xx
Qinghai Pan: XxXx/6♣3♠9♣K♣/Xx

The next hand, Frazin completed, Qinghai Pan raised, and Frazin called.

Pan bet on fourth and fifth streets and Frazin called before they checked on sixth. Pan then bet on seventh and Frazin folded.

In the 903rd episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway is joined by special fill-in cohosts Team PokerStars Pro Jennifer Shahade and Josh Abady of Play Live Melbourne to discuss the latest in the poker industry, including the latest on the alleged chip-dumping incident from the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Millionaire Maker event. Winner Jesse Yaginuma did get paid the $1,000,000 bonus, but he and runner-up James Carroll are still awaiting a decision by WSOP officials on the regular prize money.

Another big story was Golden Nugget cancelling their $1 million guaranteed tournament, much to the dismay of several players, including Kyna England. The hosts discuss the decision and examine the larger concept of guarantees within the poker world. You'll then get highlights from a pair of Meet-Up Games (MUGs), including the PokerNews one at Planet Hollywood and the PokerStars one at Resorts World, where the first $5,300 Main Event seat to November's NAPT was awarded. See who the lucky winner was!

Next, get a sneak peek at the new show Hellmuth's Home Game presented by Poker Night in America (PNIA), a discussion on the state of poker in Australia, and a look ahead to the 2025 WSOP Main Event, which will kick off this week!

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!
