Shaun Deeb min-raised to 240,000 and was called by Sam Soverel on the button and Alex Foxen in the big blind. They checked the 9♠4♠2♠ flop to the 8♣ turn on which Deeb bet 450,000 when checked to, which won the pot uncontested.
What followed next was a four-way limped pot with Soverel, Aaron Katz, Foxen and Ben Lamb. The K♥6♣4♠ flop was checked to Soverel who bet 130,000. Katz and Lamb called before they checked down the 6♦ turn and 5♠ river.
Lamb revealed his K♣8♣7♥7♦ for a straight, Soverel exposed the 3♥3♣ and Katz mucked A♠K♠.
"A feast for the maven," Deeb told Lamb as he raked in the pot and they talked about the origin of the phrase after that in table chat.

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!
Lautaro Guerra made it 360,000 to go from the cutoff and only Isaac Haxton called from the big blind.

The 8♠ rolled off on the turn and Haxton check-called a bet of 1,000,000 from Guerra.
After Haxton checked the 6♣ river, Guerra thought for quite some time before checking behind. Haxton showed a rivered boat with 9♣8♣6♠5♣, and Guerra mucked his hand.

Daniel Negreanu limped in from under the gun. Maxi Lehmanski raised to 540,000 from the button, and Negreanu called.
The flop came K♥10♥5♥, and Negreanu moved all in. Lehmanski thought it over while Negreanu recorded the hand and gave his commentary. Eventually, Lehmanski made the call.
Daniel Negreanu: K♠J♦10♦8♣
Maxi Lehmanski: A♠Q♠J♣7♦
The 9♦ gave Lehmanski a straight, and Negreanu didn't improve on the A♣ river, so he finished the tournament in 15th place.

Lautaro Guerra made it 360,000 to go from under the gun with Alex Foxen calling from the cutoff, and Tomas Ribeiro defending out of the big blind.
After Ribeiro checked the 6♥2♠A♥ flop, Guerra bet 550,000. Foxen potted it to around 2,910,000, which got Ribeiro to fold. Guerra raised to put Foxen all in for his 3,400,000 total, and Foxen called.
Alex Foxen: A♠7♠6♣5♣
Lautaro Guerra: A♣K♥K♦6♦
Both players had flopped top two pair, but Foxen moved into the lead on the 7♥ turn, improving to a better two pair. The 10♠ came on the river, and Foxen earned the massive double-up at the expense of Guerra.
