Razz

David Bach: XxXx / 4x6x2x
Josh Arieh: XxXx / 2x2x8x - folded on fifth street

Bach had already dragged a couple Razz pots, one on third with a resteal and one on fourth with a favorable board.

This hand, Arieh completed, Bach raised, and Arieh called.

Bach led fourth after Arieh paired, but he wanted to see another card. Arieh conceded on fifth, and Bach finds some breathing room once again.

The 6♦5♣3♦ flop checked through to the K♦ turn which saw Arieh check again. Anderson bet, Arieh raised, and Anderson called.

On the A♣ river, Arieh led a final time, sending Anderson into a small tank. He eventually slammed calling chips into the middle, only to be shown the A♠7♦ of Arieh, who was bluffing with a gutter and diamond but rivered top pair. Anderson scoffed at his bad luck, indicating that a non-diamond ace or four were Arieh's only outs.

Will Phil Hellmuth Lose $14,000 or Win $10,000,000? Katie Swift & The Tower Guest Host | PokerNews Podcast #977

Stud Games: 15,000 Ante, 20,000 Bring-In, 60,000 Completion, 60,000-120,000 Limits

In the 977th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by FanDuel Poker, Chad Holloway and Mike Holtz are joined at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas by a pair from the UK in Grosvenor Poker's Katie Swift and Philip "The Tower" Heald.

The quartet discusses the recent high-profile bet between Phil Hellmuth and Shaun Deeb, one involving the former's son, Phillip "P3" Hellmuth III, and the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event. Deeb stands to win $14,000 max, while Hellmuth could potentially win $10,000,000! It's an extremely long shot, but what do you think?

From there, the crew looks at a pair of game-changing hands. In the first, Dario Sammartino shared on social media that an automatic shuffler has apparently sorted the cards, which resulted in two very similar hands, and in the other, a dealer error resulted in the final two players in the COLOSSUS being dealt the wrong cards in the first hand of heads-up play. No one noticed in real time, and the tournament ended as a result.

Other topics include changes to the Poker Hall of Fame, The Tower advocating for Barny Boatman and John Duthie to be inducted, and a look ahead to Grosvenor Poker's famed GOLIATH, which will run July 23-August 2. Finally, don't forget to order your Think Jerky here!

Find out all about those stories and more in this week's episode of the PokerNews Podcast! Oh, and be sure to check out the audio version of the PokerNews Podcast that is available on all major podcasting platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and SoundCloud.

"Aces and kings the first four. And then I squeezed a no-side on seventh. I probably went one too many bets there," John Veltri said, still recounting the massive pot against Josh Arieh.

He then completed and Nicolas Milgrom called. Veltri continued with bets on fourth and fifth streets, and Milgrom called.

Veltri bet again on sixth, and Milgrom called. Veltri threw out a bet on seventh without even looking at his card, and Milgrom quickly tossed away his cards.

Seven Card Stud

Nicolas Milgrom: XxXx / 8♣3♦6♣5♣ - folded on sixth street
John Veltri: XxXx / A♦K♠4♠9♣ / Xx
Josh Arieh: XxXx / 10♠Q♥7♣10♣ / Xx

Prior to the hand, Arieh had won two consecutive Stud pots, taking down both on fifth street uncontested.

Veltri completed from early position, and he was called by Arieh and Milgrom. Veltri would lead on fourth and both opponents called.

The madness began on fifth as Veltri led, Arieh raised, Milgrom three-bet, Veltri made it four bets, Arieh capped it, which Milgrom called after a small tank and Veltri came along too.

Arieh made open tens on sixth and led. Milgrom painfully folded leaving himself just 350,000 behind, and Veltri called.

Arieh checked seventh to Veltri who peeled his final card before slamming the table to indicate a check as he flung his cards across the table. Arieh tabled Q♦Q♣3♠ in the hole for a full house, queens full of tens, to win the largest pot of the day.

"That was so fun, guys," Arieh joked as he raked in the pot, "Didn't you guys enjoy that?"
