Hustler Casino Live's Million Dollar Game did exactly what it says and produced many million dollar pots! Tom Dwan and Santhosh Suvarna start this hand with premium pocket pairs and it looks likely that Suvarna will lose a massive one. However, a favorable runout for Suvarna sees him end with quads – the super nuts! Is Tom Dwan still the G.O.A.T and will he correctly check back, or will Suvarna find the perfect line to stack Dwan?! Usually when you flop a hand like top set on a very dry board and your opponents decide to bet into you, it is often a good strategy to slowplay since it is likely they don't have a strong hand. This is even more the case against a loose splashy opponent who likes to double barrel and will take the opportunity to bluff more than usual.. It also helps protect your calling range and stops you being exploited as calling a bet doesn't necessarily always mean that you have a medium to weak hand. Tom Dwan also known as durrrr from his online days is a 39 year old American professional poker player. He is a favorite poker player for many around the world as they would watch him battle in the highest stakes cash games on Full Tilt Poker before poker's Black Friday hit. Dwan is known for his fearless style and crazy bluffs. He was a regular on Poker After Dark and High Stakes Poker. Today, Durrrr is mostly known to play in high stakes private games in Asia. Durrrr is often seen on the Triton poker tour playing in the largest buy-in poker tournaments in the world. Dwan currently has over $6,900,000 in live poker tournament earnings which puts him in the top 300 on the all time money list. Santhosh Suvarna is an Indian businessman active in the entertainment and real estate sectors. He’s known for promoting regional cinema and successfully investing in various property developments. His business skills and commitment to quality have made him a respected figure, inspiring many through his ventures and community efforts. Suvarna has over $19,800,000 in live poker tournament earnings, putting him in the top 100 on poker's all-time money list. He has two World Series of Poker (WSOP) Bracelets. The first was from a $50,000 No-Limit Hold'em High Roller event at the 2023 World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE). The second came in at the 2024 WSOP, where he won the $250,000 Super High Roller for a career high-score of $5,415,152. Hustler Casino Live is a full-scale, high value poker production. Unscripted and unedited, they host regular poker streams such as ‘Max Pain Monday' and ‘Thirsty Thursday'. Some of the most notable poker players to have appeared on the show are Phil Ivey ‘The Tiger Woods of Poker' ‘RaiseOnce', Tom Dwan 'durrrr', Phil Hellmuth ‘The Poker Brat', Chris Moneymaker, Doug Polk ‘WCGRider, Garrett Adelstein ‘Gman', Tony Guoga ‘Tony G' and many more. Preflop:Alan Keating raises to $10,000 in the cutoff with 64 of diamonds before Tom Dwan chooses to 3-bet to $35,000 from the button with pocket kings. Santhosh Suvarna doesn't 4-bet with pocket queens and cold calls from the small blind. Keating calls with his suited one gapper and the three poker players head to the flop. Flop – Qc 8d 2s:Suvarna flops the nuts with top set and starts with a check. Keating checks his six-high with a backdoor straight draw and backdoor flush draw before Dwan places out a continuation bet of $70,000 with his overpair. Suvarna smooth calls with his set of queens and Keating folds. Turn – 5h:The nuts stay the same on the five of hearts turn and Suvarna checks once more. Dwan elects to fire a second barrel of $165,000, perhaps hoping to get value from Suvarna if he has top pair. With the nuts, Suvarna calls again. River – Qs:The final queen in the deck arrives on the river and Suvarna ends up with quads. Suvarna checks for the last time and Dwan has to decide whether to bet or check his cowboys back. Will Dwan correctly check it back and save himself some money, or will he value own himself and lose a huge pot to Suvarna's four of a kind? Stay tuned to the end of this poker video to see what happens.

Peeling back and looking down at pocket aces in a high stakes cash game is the dream of every poker player! Jennifer Tilly was fortunate enough to get the pocket rockets during a cash game on PokerGO's No Gamble, No Future. After squeezing it preflop and getting two callers, Tilly decides to slowplay her hand. It seems to work out perfectly as Pink shoves the turn with just a straight draw. But will Tilly think Pink's all in for a huge amount is an extremely strong hand and make a terrible hero fold or will she win a huge pot and help answer the question: Why did Jennifer Tilly tip $200? When playing poker cash games or tournaments, it is important to protect your check-calling range. This means that when you check and call a bet, you should not only have medium-strength hands or draws. You should also include some very strong hands into your check-calling range, along with a few floats that you plan to turn into bluffs on certain runouts. By protecting your check-calling range, your opponents are left uncertain about the strength of your hand. As a result, it becomes much harder for them to exploit you by double barreling and forcing you to fold medium-strength hands when they assume you only check-raise with strong hands and check-call with weak ones. Jennifer Tilly is a poker player from America and has over $1,000,000 in live poker tournament earnings. Tilly has 1 World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet, which came during the 2005 series where she won the $1,000 buy in Ladies Only event for $158,335. Tilly has also had a career as a Hollywood actor, having featured in movies and TV such as Chucky, Family Guy, and Bullets Over Broadway. She has also played on many live poker streams such as Poker After Dark, No Gamble No Future, and High Stakes Poker. Tilly married another popular poker player – Phil Laak in 2004. Since 2009, she has played over 112 times on live streamed poker cash games and has lost more than $1,000,000. Mark Ioennelli ‘Pink' is an amateur poker player from the U.S.A. Ioenelli is also the lead singer of the progressive metal band ‘Pterodactyl King'. Since 2022, he has played over 23 times on live streamed poker cash games and has won over $360,000. This hand is from Season 7 of No Gamble, No Future, presented by PokerStars. The episode was a cash game with blinds of $50/$100. It featured Jennifer Tilly, Alex Aqel, Phil Hellmuth ‘The Poker Brat', Randy Sadler ‘3Coin', Luiz Rizental ‘Brazil God', Pink, Freddy Hamad, and Pedro Velasco. No Gamble, No Future is an American poker television program that airs on PokerGO, and premiered on August 1, 2022. The poker show provides cash game focused entertainment with a variety of stakes and poker players. It has featured players such as Phil Hellmuth ‘The Poker Brat', Andrew Robl ‘good2cu', Eric Persson, Patrick Antonius ‘The Finn', Matt Berkey, Nik Airball, Rampage Poker, Wolfgang Poker, and Daniel Negreanu ‘DNegs' ‘KidPoker'. This episode from season 7 featured Phil Hellmuth, Joe Stapleton, Nick Wright & Jennifer Tilly. Preflop:With the $200 straddle on, Pedro Velasco raises to $500 from the lojack with KTo and Pink calls out of the cutoff with T9o. Alex Aqel calls on the button holding QJ of diamonds, which is 40% of a royal flush, and 3Coin calls from the small blind with J9o. Jennifer Tilly peels back pocket aces in the big blind and chooses to 3-bet to $4,000. Velasco and 3Coin fold, but Pink and Alex call to see a flop. Flop – 8h 7d 2c:With the nut overpair in the form of pocket rockets, Tilly decides not to continuation bet as she checks. Pink, with an open ended straight draw, bets $6,000 and Alex folds, despite having backdoor straight and flush possibilities. Tilly calls with her disguised pair of aces and the two poker players head to the turn. Turn – 3h:A blank three of hearts comes on the turn and Tilly checks again. Pink with just ten-high, jams all in for $17,775. Will Tilly think Pink has two pair or a set and laydown her pocket aces, or will she make the right call and be a huge favorite going to the river?

As one of the co-owners of The Lodge Card Club, Doug Polk has played his fair share of crazy hands on their live poker stream, especially against fan favorite Taras! The two battle it out again on stream in a 3-bet pot, where Polk bluff raises Taras' river block bet. Will Taras be able to sniff out the bluff and humiliate Polk at his own poker club, or will this show why Doug Polk is not to be messed with? In poker cash games it is important to understand when to use a blocker bet, which is typically a small bet made on the river with a medium strength hand that does not want to face a large bet from your opponent. Blocker bets allow you to set your own price, extract thin value from worse hands, and reduce the likelihood of facing a big bet. But strong made hands and bluffs should also be used to keep your range balanced and help you to avoid being exploited. Doug Polk ‘WCGRider' is the owner of The Lodge Card Room along with Brad Owen and Andrew Neeme. Doug has won over $9,500,000 in live poker tournaments and 3 World Series Of Poker (WSOP) bracelets, including a win in the 2017 $100k Super High Roller for $1,600,000.

Taras, whose real name is Taras Bobrovytsky, is a Canadian amateur poker player living in Texas. Taras is the Founder of Prediction Explorer and RandomWalk NFT, he is also known to be a software engineer and angel investor. He has been a regular at The Lodge for a long time and will play stakes from $5/$10 up to $400/$800. He is known to be very talkative at the table. Since 2022, he has played over 32 times on live streamed poker cash games and has won over $160,000. In early 2022, poker professionals Doug Polk, Brad Owen and Andrew Neeme joined forces to acquire a controlling stake in The Lodge Poker Club & Card Room, which happens to be the largest poker establishment in Austin, Texas. This exclusive poker club, accessible only to its poker members, boasts an impressive array of amenities, including over 80 poker tables of cash games and poker tournaments, operating around the clock.

The new Lodge Card Club San Antonio will relocate to a larger space to host bigger poker tournaments and events. Chaz Gill, known as Big Daddy Chaz, will join Doug Polk, Andrew Neeme, and Brad Owen as a partner to help meet the local poker community’s needs. Preflop:From the hijack, Crypto Max raises with 87o to $500, as Doug Polk then 3-bets to $1,700 with T9 of spades. Taras, who was sitting in the under the gun straddle, decides to cold 4-bet with the poker solver approved hand, ace-five of diamonds. Crypto Max folds, as Polk calls in position with his suited connector. Flop – Ah Js Td:Taras flops best with top pair and a backdoor flush draw, so he chooses to fire a continuation bet of $4,100. Polk calls having flopped bottom pair, a backdoor straight draw, and a backdoor flush draw. Turn – 7h:With a weak kicker, Taras slows down and checks his pair of aces. Polk checks behind with his pair of tens and gutshot straight draw. River – Qc:The queen of clubs on the river means there is a one liner to broadway available. Taras puts out a block bet of $3,000 with his top pair, and is met by a raise to $9,000 from Polk, whose hand has now been downgraded to fourth pair. Will Taras sniff out Polk's bluff and make the hero call or will Polk manage to get one past him? Stay tuned to the end of this poker video to see what happens.

During the Million Dollar Game on Hustler Casino Live's cash game, Alan Keating, Peter, Stanley, and Texas Mike all reach the river after a ridiculous runout sees Stanley hit broadway, while Peter and Keating both have full houses. Keating has the biggest boat but can he find a way to extract the maximum value from any of his opponents, or did Alan Keating make a big mistake in this hand?? In general, when playing multi way pots, you should not continuation bet as often as you do in heads up poker hands, since it is far more likely an opponent will have something they can call or raise with. Therefore, when you are deciding whether or not to bet in multi way pots, you should generally do it with a hand that has the potential to improve to an extremely strong hand by the river, such as betting a flush draw, straight draw, or a hand with a lot of backdoor potential. Alan Keating is a well known high stakes cash game poker player often playing in the biggest live cash games and private poker games around the world. Keating has become more of a regular on the Hustler Casino Live stream. He is extremely popular amongst poker fans partly due to the fact that he wins and loses millions of dollars whilst always carrying a smile on his face! Keating has been seen associating with poker celebrities such as Dan Bilzerian. Michael Moncek or “Texas Mike” is from Chicago, Illinois, USA. Moncek has won over $1,800,000 in live poker tournaments with two World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets. The first was from the $1,500 Limit Hold’em event in 2022 where he won $145,856. The second was from the $5,000 No Limit Hold'em/Pot Limit Omaha event in 2023 where he won $534,499. He also has 3 WSOP Circuit rings. Since 2023, Michael has played on over 13 live streamed cash games and has lost over $3,000,000. Peter is a Chinese high stakes poker player and an avid pumpkin eater according to the commentators. He has made multiple appearances on televised cash game shows such as Hustler Casino Live and Bally Poker Live and he is known to want to play any stakes that are on offer. Hustler Casino Live is a full-scale, high value poker production. Unscripted and unedited, they host regular poker streams such as ‘Max Pain Monday' and ‘Thirsty Thursday'. Some of the most notable poker players to have appeared on the show are Phil Ivey ‘The Tiger Woods of Poker' ‘RaiseOnce', Tom Dwan 'durrrr', Phil Hellmuth ‘The Poker Brat', Chris Moneymaker, Doug Polk ‘WCGRider, Garrett Adelstein ‘Gman', Tony Guoga ‘Tony G' and many more. Preflop:Texas Mike raises to $5,000 from the lojack with 62 of spades, and Peter calls from the hijack holding A7 of hearts. Stanley calls on the button with JTo, and Alan Keating calls out of the small blind holding AQo. Flop – Kc Qh 7c:Keating flops best with a pair of queens and checks. Texas Mike opts to fire a continuation bet of $15,000 with just six-high. Peter calls with bottom pair, a backdoor straight draw, and a backdoor flush draw. Stanley calls with an open ended straight draw and Keating calls with second pair and a backdoor straight draw to broadway. Turn – Ac:The ace of clubs on the turn brings in the flush draw and broadway straight draw. Keating checks his aces up and Texas Mike decides not to fire a second barrel, as he also checks. Peter checks his top and bottom pair, and Stanley checks behind with a broadway straight. River – As:A board-pairing ace of spades on the river gives Keating the best hand with a full house, aces full of queens, which is the second nuts. He checks, and Texas Mikes checks, playing the board. Peter, who also has a boat, aces full of sevens, fires an overbet of $155,000. Stanley correctly tosses his straight into the muck, and now Keating has to decide whether to fold, call, or raise. Will Keating be scared of monsters under the bed and fold his boat? Will he play it safe and just call, hoping someone behind also has a strong hand, or will he put in the raise and put Peter in the blender? Stay tuned to the end of the hand to see what happens!

Phil Hellmuth has provided more than his fair share of entertainment over the past few decades on poker live streams, and that trend continues during a cash game on PokerGO's No Gamble, No Future. In a multi way bomb pot, Hellmuth and DrDad both make the same full house on the river, and a chopped pot seems inevitable. However, is this the moment Phil Hellmuth makes a huge mistake and lays down his boat after DrDad overbets? When playing cash games or poker tournaments, you generally want to use larger bet sizes when you have a nut advantage. This means your range contains more premium hands than your opponent's. However, this approach changes in multi way pots. When betting into multiple opponents on the flop, turn, or river, it is usually best to use smaller bet sizes, as the equity in the pot is spread out and players are less likely to fold. Phil Hellmuth ‘The Poker Brat' has won more than $30,700,000 in live poker tournaments putting him in the top 100 on the all time money list. Hellmuth has 17 World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets which is currently the most that any poker player has won! Hellmuth is very well known for his antics and outbursts at the poker table which is why he is known as ‘The Poker Brat'. Since 2006, Hellmuth has played on over 198 live streamed poker cash games and has lost more than $800,000. Daniel Schill or ‘DrDad' is an American amateur poker player from Michigan. Schill is a biomedical researcher with a Ph.D. in cell and developmental biology. He has won over $220,000 in live poker tournaments. Schill's biggest cash of $84,676 came after he finished 6th in the $600 PokerNews Deepstack Championship at the 2025 Word Series of Poker (WSOP). Since 2025, DrDad has played 1 live streamed poker cash game and won more than $18,000. No Gamble, No Future is an American poker television program that airs on PokerGO, and premiered on August 1, 2022. The poker show provides cash game focused entertainment with a variety of stakes and poker players. It has featured players such as Phil Hellmuth ‘The Poker Brat', Andrew Robl ‘good2cu', Eric Persson, Patrick Antonius ‘The Finn', Matt Berkey, Nik Airball, Rampage Poker, Wolfgang Poker, and Daniel Negreanu ‘DNegs' ‘KidPoker'. This episode from season 7 featured Phil Hellmuth, Joe Stapleton, Nick Wright & Jennifer Tilly. Preflop:Phil Hellmuth in the small blind, Jennifer Tilly in the big blind, Nick Wright from under the gun, Rips out of the lojack, Lightning from the hijack, Joe Stapleton from the cutoff, and DrDad on the button all agree to do a $100 bomb pot. Flop – Js Jd 8d:Hellmuth is first to act and checks, having flopped best with A8 of hearts, which is now two pair, jacks and eights. Tilly checks her pair of sixes and Wright decides to check his 94o that only has a backdoor straight possibility. With K7o, Rips also has a backdoor straight draw so he decides to check. Stapleton holds AQ of diamonds and has a flush draw with a backdoor straight draw of his own. Stapleton fires out for the minimum bet of $50. DrDad has the same two pair as Hellmuth but he has the inferior kicker. He chooses to raise to $300, and is met by a cold 3-bet from Hellmuth to $800. The action folds back to the popular poker commentator, Stapleton, who has been covering the European Poker Tour (EPT) for over a decade. Stapleton reluctantly folds his two overcards and ace-high flush draw. DrDad calls, and the two poker players head to the turn. Turn – 4h:Hellmuth slows down and checks the four of hearts on the turn and DrDad checks behind. River – 8s:Both players improve to the same boat, eights full of jacks on the river, and a chop pot looks likely. Hellmuth checks for the last time, and DrDad chooses to overbet for $2,500. Will Hellmuth call this off and take half the pot, or will his white magic fail him and he will incorrectly fold a full house? Stay tuned to the end of this poker video to see what happens!

Playing in a huge invitational poker cash game during the Triton Poker Series Montenegro, Dan ‘Jungleman' Cates and Tan Xuan get involved in a massive pot. But has he lost his mind in this $1,500,000 pot? Xuan must decide whether to unload the clip with a triple barrel bluff. The problem is that Cates holds the stone cold nuts. Will Xuan make the wrong decision and punt it off into Cates, or will he give up on the bluff and save himself almost $750,000? When playing poker tournaments or cash games, it is important to protect your calling range. This means that when you call a bet, raise, or check-raise, your range should not only consist of draws or medium-strength hands. You should occasionally have very strong hands, including the nuts, in your calling range. By doing this, you make it much harder for your opponents to exploit you, as they cannot be sure whether your call represents a draw, a marginal hand, or a monster. Dan Cates, also known as Jungleman and w00ki3z, is a 34-year-old from the USA and is regarded by many as one of the best poker players in the world both online and live. He has played in all the high stakes poker cash games around the world for many years. He has over $18,800,000 in live poker tournament earnings, putting him in the top 100 on the all-time money list. He famously won the World Series of Poker (WSOP) $50,000 Players Championship (regarded as one of the hardest poker tournaments to win) in 2021 and again in 2022. Since 2012, Cates has played over 89 live streamed cash games and has won more than $14,400,000. Cates has won the most in history on live streamed poker gash games. Tan Xuan is a Chinese businessman from Wuhan. Xuan has won over $12,300,000 in live poker tournament earnings, putting him in the top 150 on poker's all time money list. His biggest score of $2,308,384 came during the 2018 Triton Poker Super High Roller Series Montenegro, where he finished second in the HK$1,000,000 No Limit Hold’em – Short Deck Ante Only tournament. Since 2018, Since 2018 Xuan has played on over 77 live streamed poker cash games and has lost over $7,700,000. Triton Poker was founded in 2015 by Paul Phua and Richard Yong; their aim was to attract a healthy mixture of recreational poker players and seasoned poker professionals. Part of what makes the Triton Series so special is that it's open to a wide range of poker players – not just a select few. They envisioned Triton as a series of poker events providing excellent entertainment value for audiences passionate about poker. Some of the most famous poker players to have appeared at Triton events have been Phil Ivey ‘RaiseOnce', Tom Dwan ‘Durrr', Patrick Antonius ‘The Finn', Michael Addamo ‘imluckbox', Chris Brewer, Jason Koon ‘JAKoon1985', Tony G, Dan Cates ‘Jungleman', Doug Polk ‘WCGRider', Stephen Chidwick ‘stevie444', Linus Loeliger ‘LLinusLLove', Isaac Haxton ‘philivey2694', Mikita Badziakouski ‘fish2013', Timofey Kuznetsov ‘Trueteller' and many more. Preflop:With the $4,000 straddle on, Paul Phua raises from early position with pocket sevens to $10,000. Tan Xuan calls from the button holding 98 of hearts and Dan Cates defends KQo from the under the gun straddle. Flop – Ac Jd 3s:Cates is first to act and checks his gutshot straight draw to broadway. Phua, with his two hockey sticks, opts not to continuation bet and checks. Xuan's suited connector has flopped terribly as he just has a backdraw straight draw. He bets $17,000 as a bluff and only Cates calls from out of position. Turn – Ts:Heads-up to the ten of spades turn, which helps improve Cates to the nuts with a broadway straight. Cates checks for a second time and Xuan, who despite picking up an open ended straight draw, is drawing dead. Xuan doesn't know this as he chooses to fire a second barrel for $35,000. Cates takes the most aggressive option available to him by check raising to $125,000. Xuan doesn't believe the story Cates is telling, so he decides to 3-bet to $325,000. Cates sets the trap by just calling and the two poker players head to a river. River – 6h:Nothing changes on the six of hearts river, and Cates checks the action over to Xuan. With just nine-high, will Xuan shove all in or will he check behind and give up on his bluff? Stay tuned to the end of this poker video to see what happens!

Nous avons le grand honneur de recevoir ce jeudi l'une des légendes de notre jeu : Doug Polk !

Alan Keating entertains poker fans across the globe on high stakes cash streams with his fearless, crazy, and loose style. Now, Keating is taking his shot at poker tournaments. In this poker hand from the $25,000 buy-in 2024 World Series of Poker Paradise Main Event, he tangles with poker professional Alex Kulev near the money bubble. Kulev leads out on the flop and turn with complete air before putting Keating to the test for the majority of his stack on the river. Has Alan Keating lost his mind, because with just ace-high, Keating has no real option but to fold, right? When playing in a poker tournament, and you have 50bb or less after defending out of the big blind, it is game theory optimal (GTO) to have a leading strategy on certain flops that are good for your range. For example, on a low, wet & connected flop, the big blind will often have a slight range advantage since a lot of the suited and offsuit holdings that connect well on these flops will be defended. Again, it is important to make sure you are balanced in these spots by leading not only with bluffs, but also with value hands so that your opponents cannot easily exploit you. Alan Keating is a well known high stakes cash game poker player often playing in the biggest live cash games and private poker games around the world. He has over $230,000 in live tournament poker earnings. Keating has become more of a regular on the Hustler Casino Live stream. He is extremely popular amongst poker fans partly due to the fact that he wins and loses millions of dollars whilst always carrying a smile on his face! Keating has been seen associating with poker celebrities such as Dan Bilzerian. Alex Kulev ‘FutureofMe' is a professional poker player from Bulgaria. He has over $15,500,000 in live tournament poker earnings which puts him in the top 100 on the all time money list and 1st on Bulgaria's all time money list. He has 1 World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet which came from a $50,000 buy-in event at the 2023 WSOP. Kulev won $2,087,073 for his first place finish. The 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise was a No-Limit Hold'em and Mixed Games festival held from December 3rd – 14th at the Atlantis Paradise Island, Bahamas. Featuring 15 bracelet events that culminated in the $25,000 Main Event. $25,000 – 2024 WSOP Paradise Main Event – Results 1st: Yinan Zhou – China – $6,000,0002nd: Marcelo Aziz Jr. – Brazil – $4,600,0003rd: Mustapha Kanit ‘lasagnaaammm' – Italy – $3,600,0004th: Liv Boeree – England – $2,800,0005th: Christopher Nguyen – Germany – $2,100,0006th: Michael Addamo ‘imluckbox' – Australia – $1,650,0007th: Justin Bonomo ‘ZeeJustin' – U.S.A. – $1,300,0008th: Vadzim Lipauka – Belarus – $1,000,0009th: George Lehmann – Germany – $750,000 Preflop:Nearing the money bubble of the 2024 World Series of Poker Paradise Main Event, Alan Keating raises to 50,000 from the cutoff with AQ of diamonds and Alex Kulev defends with 83 of hearts in the big blind. Flop – 7s 6c 4c:The wet, low, connected flop is great for Kulev's range and he knows this, as he decides to donk lead for 35,000 with a gutshot straight draw. Keating calls with just two broadway cards, no backdoor draws but is currently ahead with his ace-high. Turn – 9c:The front door flush comes in on the nine of clubs turn, causing Kulev to lead out again, this time for 155,000, having picked up an open ended straight draw. Keating calls one more time still holding the strongest hand out of the two. River – 9s:The board pairing river doesn't deter Kulev as he leads out for the last time with a big bet size of 430,000 with just eight-high. Surely Keating can't call with ace-high and risk bubbling the tournament? Stay tuned to this poker video to see what Keating decides to do.

Under the lights at the Lodge Card Club in Texas with fans around the world watching the stream can be daunting for any poker player! However, Lodge regular & PokerCoaching coach JWin is no stranger to facing tough decisions live on stream! In this poker hand, JWin gets put in a truly rough situation for his entire stack, and he has to decide if Mr. Kipling is bluffing or value betting. Will he come to the right decision with his two pair? When you are preflop, it is important to think about your opponents' position and the ranges they are likely to use from each seat. If a poker player raises from under the gun, their range should generally be stronger, tighter and built around premium broadway hands, suited aces, and high pocket pairs. Against this type of tight early position range you should proceed cautiously and 3-bet less often because they are far more likely to have the strongest part of their range. However, when a player in late position decides to raise, especially from the button, their range will become much wider. This allows you to 3-bet lighter and apply pressure with a wider range, since they will be entering the pot with many more marginal holdings. Jay Nguyen or JWin as he is more commonly known, is an American professional poker player. He regularly plays on The Lodge Poker live streams and he usually plays all the way up to $50 – $100 blinds. He also has a popular YouTube channel with over 11,000 subscribers where he produces poker vlogs. JWin is a brand ambassador and coach for PokerCoaching.com. Since 2020, JWin has played on more than 148 live streamed poker cash games and has won over $180,000. Little is known about Mr. Kipling apart from the fact that his nationality is British. Since 2020, Mr. Kipling has played on more than 9 live streamed cash games and has lost over $15,000. In early 2022, poker professionals Doug Polk, Brad Owen and Andrew Neeme joined forces to acquire a controlling stake in The Lodge Poker Club & Card Room, which happens to be the largest poker establishment in Austin, Texas. This exclusive poker club, accessible only to its poker members, boasts an impressive array of amenities, including over 80 poker tables of cash games and poker tournaments, operating around the clock. Additionally, The Lodge provides an inviting ambiance with 40 large screen TVs, allowing poker club members to enjoy sports entertainment whilst playing poker or while relaxing in the cozy waiting area. The live poker stream includes commentary from Skull Mike and Slick Rick, who have been long time regulars at The Lodge Poker Club. They provide viewers with poker strategy insights, complemented by a perfect blend of humor. Lodge Card Club has bought San Antonio’s largest poker room, Rounders Card Club, which opened in July 2024. The new Lodge Card Club San Antonio will relocate to a larger space to host bigger poker tournaments and events. Chaz Gill, known as Big Daddy Chaz, will join Doug Polk, Andrew Neeme, and Brad Owen as a partner to help meet the local poker community’s needs. Preflop:With the $100 triple straddle on, Mr. Kipling makes it $300 from the hijack with A5 of spades. JWin decides to 3-bet out of the big blind with AQo, and Mr. Kipling calls with his suited ace that is already 40% of a straight flush. Flop – Ad Ts 3c:Both players flop top pair, but JWin has the higher kicker. JWin chooses to continuation bet for $1,000 with his pair of aces and backdoor broadway draw. Mr. Kipling calls with his weak ace, although he does have backdoor straight and flush draws available. Turn – Qs:JWin improves to top two pair, aces and queens, and fires a second barrel, this time for $1,000. Mr. Kipling has picked up the backdoor nut flush draw, so he opts just to call, and the two poker players head to the river. River – Kc:The king of clubs on the river is one of the worst cards in the deck for JWin as now any jack makes a broadway straight. Still with two pair, JWin decides to check. Mr. Kipling realises his pair of aces probably isn't going to be good at showdown, so he puts JWin all in for $8,685, which is just over the size of the pot. Will JWin be able to pick off this bluff, or will he make the incorrect fold and be shown the bad news? Stay tuned to this poker video to find out.

Poker vlogger Brad Owen has filmed his entire journey through high stakes poker tournaments and cash games. In this hand, Brad is playing a cash game at the Bellagio poker room in Las Vegas with his friend Ping. Both poker players end up with strong hands by the river, but has Brad Owen lost his mind and will he overvalue his trips after his friend puts out an overbet of two times the pot?! When your opponent makes a polarizing bet on the river, which means they bet the pot or even overbet, they are signaling that they either have a very strong hand like the nuts or they are bluffing. In these spots, even when you have a strong hand such as trips or a straight, you need to realize that when your hand is far from being the nuts it becomes a bluff catcher. If you raise here, you will only get called by better hands and lose, while forcing all of their bluffs to fold. Because of this, the best play against a polarizing river bet is usually to just call and avoid potentially value owning yourself. Brad Owen is a WPT ambassador and co-owner of The Lodge Card Club in Texas, he is a very successful YouTube poker vlogger with over 765,000 subscribers. His YouTube channel has had over 175,000,000 views. Primarily a cash game poker player, Brad has started playing more live poker tournaments since the start of 2022. His lifetime total live poker tournament winnings are over $990,000. His biggest cash for $152,266 came in December 2023 when he finished 7th in the $50,000 WPT Alpha8, during the WPT World Championship at the Wynn, Las Vegas. The Bellagio poker room is a stylish 7,000 square feet space that houses 40 tables and two high-limit areas, the most prominent of which is the Legends Room, an exclusive two-table enclave named to honor poker’s greatest players. This room was previously known as Bobby's room, named after the legendary poker player Bobby Baldwin. Preflop:Ping raises pocket sixes from the hijack to $150 with Brad Owen calling out of the cutoff holding AJ of hearts, and the big blind player calling with a mystery hand. Flop – Qh Ts 6s:After the big blind checks, Ping fires a continuation bet of $175 with his bottom set of sixes. Brad, with a gutshot straight draw to broadway and a backdoor flush draw, takes the most aggressive option by raising to $600. The big blind folds, but Ping opts to just call with his set and the two poker players head to the turn. Turn – Jd:The jack of diamonds on the turn completes a few straight draws and Ping checks the action over to Brad, who decides to check behind, having improved to second pair. River – Jc:A board pairing jack of clubs on the river is the worst card in the deck for Brad, as he now has trip jacks with the best kicker, while Ping has the best hand with a full house, sixes full of jacks. Ping chooses to fire a big overbet of $3,500, which is over twice the size of the pot. Will Brad be able to get away from three of a kind? Will he just call and see the bad news, or will he overvalue his hand and put in a raise? Stay tuned to the end of this poker video to see what happens!

During a $10,000 buy-in PokerGO Cup tournament in Las Vegas, Ren Lin and Patrick Leonard clash in a massive pot close to the money bubble. Leonard rivers a full house while Lin has complete air, but this table talk makes him lose his mind! When you defend your big blind against a raise from early or late position and the flop contains broadway cards or an ace, you should generally start by checking your entire range. These boards favor your opponent's range because they are more likely to have stronger hands, including the nuts. By deciding not to bet, you also protect your checking range, since it will now include strong hands as well as medium strength and weak hands, keeping your poker strategy balanced and difficult to exploit. Patrick Leonard ‘pads1161', or Pads as he is also known, is a professional poker player from the United Kingdom. Leonard has won over $4,400,000 in live poker tournaments putting him in the top 1,000 on poker's all time money list. He has 1 World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet, which came in the 2022 $1,000 Tag Team Event where he paired up with WSOP Main Event Champion Espen Jørstad. Ren Lin ‘Lady Gaga', or Tony Lin as he is known in the poker world, is a professional poker player from China, who resides in New York, United States. Lin has won over $16,000,000 in live poker tournaments putting him in the top 100 on poker's all time money list. Lin's biggest cash of $1,045,781 came in 2023 at the World Poker Tour (WPT) World Championship, where he finished 3rd. The PokerGo Cup was a series of eight No-Limit Hold’em poker tournaments with buy-ins ranging from $5,000 – $25,000 played from February 11 – 21, 2025 and held inside the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. $10,000 – 2025 PokerGO Cup Event #4 – Results 1st: Eric Blair – United States – $254,8002nd: Joey Weissman – United States – $161,7003rd: Justin Saliba ‘Jsaliba2' – United States – $117,6004th: Darren Elias ‘arrakeen' – United States – $88,2005th: Aram Zobian ‘araggr' – United States – $68,6006th: Justin Sternberg – United States – $49,000 Preflop:Approaching the bubble in a $10,000 PokerGO tournament, Ren Lin raises from the cutoff with A3o to 30,000. After the button and small blind fold, Patrick Leonard defends his big blind holding K8o. Flop – Kd 9c 8s:Leonard flops best with top and bottom pair, which he decides to check. Lin, with just ace-high, chooses to carve out a continuation bet of 35,000. Leonard lays the trap by just smooth calling with his two pair and the two professional poker players head to the turn. Turn – Ks:The king of spades on the turn now improves Leonard to a full house, which is currently the second nuts as he only loses to king-nine for a higher boat. He checks again and Lin decides to represent trips as he fires a second barrel of 60,000. Leonard opts not to check raise with his boat and just calls to allow Lin the opportunity to bluff on the river. River – 2d:A blank deuce of diamonds on the river changes nothing, and Leonard leads out with his full house for an extremely small bet of 55,000. Will Lin just fold to the bet, or will Leonard be able to get him to do something crazy with some table talk? Stay tuned to the end of this poker video to find out!

Being in the final four of a $200,000 buy-in Triton Poker tournament in Monte Carlo with over $5,000,000 for the winner is the kind of dream most poker players can only imagine. For Vladimir Korzinin and Patrik Antonius, that dream is real as the two face off in a fascinating poker hand. Antonius tries to bluff Korzinin off ace-high, but the decision does not come down to bet sizing or ICM pressure. Instead, it comes down to the month of Antonius' birthday! The question is whether that month means Antonius is bluffing or value betting, and whether or not this crazy live read actually works! When you are in the big blind and have check called a bet on the flop, there are some instances where the turn card allows you to lead out. For example, after you have check called a bet on a low connected flop and the middle card pairs on the turn, this is a good spot to bet into the aggressor. As the big blind player, this pairing turn card is much better for your range which is why leading out makes sense as you are more likely to have trips than the aggressor. Patrik Antonius ‘The Finn' or ‘FinddaGrind' is from Finland and has over $29,600,000 in live tournament poker earnings putting him in the top 50 on the all time money list. Patrik is known for being stoic at the table and near impossible to get a live read from. He is the co-owner of First Land of Poker (FLOP), which is a company aimed at revolutionizing the world of poker through innovative digital solutions, enhancing the experience for poker players, and streamlining operations for poker room operators. At the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP), Patrik was inducted into the prestigious Poker Hall of Fame. Vladimir Korzinin ‘Gambledore” is a 69 year old amateur poker player from Estonia. He has over $7,800,000 in live tournament poker earnings, putting him 1st on Estonia's all-time money list. Korzinin only has 4 recorded cashes, with his biggest cash of $4,350,000 coming from a victory in a $125,000 buy-in event at the Triton Poker Series Monte Carlo.

This week, the lads are locked in with poker player, PartyPoker Live ambassador and football podcaster Natalie Bromley. In what is an eclectic episode, the trio buzz around lots of poker stories. Bromley brings her vast experience as a broadcaster and pundit as they discuss the performances of women at the recent NAPT and how it is cementing the idea that 2025 is the biggest year ever for women in poker. The blink and you missed it Doug Polk heads up clash with Ossi ‘Monarch' Ketola is analysed as David asks whether someone like Ketola should be platformed. The disappointing ‘No Limit' documentary is reviewed. The trio also grapple with the busy December live schedule, including EPT Prague, The WPT World Championship and the PartyPoker Live London. Dara also previews his upcoming poker course on multi-way spots, David leaks WPT Global's partnership with the Dublin Poker Festival in February and Nataly talks about her Hearts of Queens charity and its upcoming Christmas appeal.

One thing that poker professionals possess that amateurs often lack is the ability to win pots that shouldn't be theirs. PokerCoaching owner Jonathan Little finds himself in a multiway pot during the 2025 World Series of Poker Paradise Main Event. Little, Tsugunari Toma, and Derek Gibb all check to the river, seemingly giving up on the pot. However, Toma takes a stab at it with a bet. Will I let Toma win the pot so easily or will I finally prove the YouTube comment warriors wrong and they will finally stop calling me a nit? If you have studied 60 big blind preflop tournament poker using the PeakGTO poker solver, you'll notice that many hands mix between raising first in or folding. When in middle position, this often includes low and middling suited connectors. The best poker strategy with these hands depends on how aggressive your table is. If there aren't many 3-bets and players are mostly calling or folding, then adding these hands to your opening range is the right play. However, if you are constantly facing pre-flop aggression then folding these more marginal hands becomes a better option. Jonathan Little ‘FieryJustice','Jcardshark', ‘JonLittle' is in the top 200 on the all time money list with over $9,400,000 in total live poker earnings. He has 2 World Poker Tour (WPT) titles, both of which were for over $1,000,000.

He also won the WPT Season VI (2007-2008) Player of the Year award. Jonathan is a 40 year old professional poker player from the U.S.A. He is also the founder of PokerCoaching. Tsugunari Toma is a professional poker player from Japan and has over $3,300,000 in live poker tournament earnings, putting him in the top 800 on poker's all time money list.

The 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise was a No-Limit Hold'em and Mixed Games festival held from December 3rd – 14th at the Atlantis Paradise Island, Bahamas. Featuring 15 bracelet events that culminated in the $25,000 Main Event. $25,000 – 2024 WSOP Paradise Main Event – Results 1st: Yinan Zhou – China – $6,000,0002nd: Marcelo Aziz Jr. – Brazil – $4,600,0003rd: Mustapha Kanit ‘lasagnaaammm' – Italy – $3,600,0004th: Liv Boeree – England – $2,800,0005th: Christopher Nguyen – Germany – $2,100,0006th: Michael Addamo ‘imluckbox' – Australia – $1,650,0007th: Justin Bonomo ‘ZeeJustin' – U.S.A. – $1,300,0008th: Vadzim Lipauka – Belarus – $1,000,0009th: George Lehmann – Germany – $750,000 Preflop:During the 2024 World Series of Poker Paradise Main Event, Jonathan Little raises 54 of clubs from the hijack to 15,000. Derek Gibb calls on the button with KQ of clubs, and Tsugunari Toma defends his big blind holding 65 of diamonds. Flop – Ah Kh 7h:Toma checks with his suited connector after entirely missing the monotone flop. Little decides not to continuation bet with his two suited cards, and Gibb checks behind, having flopped best with middle pair and a backdoor broadway straight draw. Turn – 3s:Toma picks up a gutshot straight draw on the turn, but he chooses to check again rather than try to bluff with some equity. Little now has a gutshot of his own but decides to check for a second time. Gibb's pair of kings are still best, however, he checks behind and the three poker players head to the river. River – Th:A fourth heart in the form of the ten of hearts on the river means that a royal flush is possible. Toma missed his draw and now attempts to win the hand by making a near half pot sized bluff of 26,000. Will Little just toss junk into the muck, or will he try to steal the pot away with a raise!

Most of Rampage Poker's vlogs follow him traveling around America, jumping into cash games and poker tournaments where he's built a reputation for playing big pots and punting in wild spots a little too often! This time, Rampage Poker needs to get paid, so he decides to head across the pond to Europe and Casino Barcelona for some high stakes cash game poker. Rampage finds himself with quads and puts his opponent to the ultimate test for their whole stack. Will his reputation as a punter follow him to Spain and get him paid? Or will his opponent sniff out this value bet and find the discipline to fold? When thinking about your turn bet sizing, typically, you want to use a geometrical bet size. This means choosing a size on the turn that allows you to bet a similar amount on the river, with the end result being that all the chips end up into the middle. Geometrical sizing is often used when you are playing a polarized range, either very strong made hands or total bluffs. To do this effectively, you need to stay balanced, betting in this way with both value hands and bluffs at roughly the right frequency. This will stop your opponents from easily being able to exploit your poker strategy. Ethan Yau, a.k.a Rampage, is a popular YouTuber and poker player. He has over 347,000 subscribers on YouTube and has won over $3,000,000 in tournament earnings, including a $900,000 win in a 2022 World Poker Tour (WPT) High Roller at the Wynn. Since 2021, Rampage has played on over 93 live streamed cash games and has won over $1,000,000. The poker room at Casino Barcelona is one of Europe’s most popular destinations for live poker. It attracts poker players from around the world for cash games, daily poker tournaments, and major poker festivals. Located inside one of Spain's top gaming venues, the poker room is home to the prestigious European Poker Tour (EPT Barcelona) and offers a wide range of stakes in No-Limit Hold’em (NLHE), Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO), and mixed games. Preflop:Rampage raises to €500 from the cutoff with pocket threes before the villain on the button chooses to 3-bet to €1,700 with what is claimed to be pocket aces. The player in the small blind cold calls, and Rampage also calls with his small pocket pair. Flop – 9c 5c 3s:Rampage's set mining works out perfectly as he manages to spike bottom set on the flop. The small blind and Rampage check, allowing the villain on the button to make a continuation bet of €2,500. The small blind player folds, but Rampage looks to build a pot with what is likely the best hand by check raising to €7,000. Rampage's opponent calls and they head to the turn. Turn – Jh:No draws come in on the jack of hearts turn so Rampage continues to show aggression and bets out for €10,000. Rampage's opponent calls again, and they head to the river. River – 3c:The river card is perfect for Rampage as he improves to the nuts with quad threes, plus the front door flush has come in! Rampage decides to put his opponent all in for €20,000. Will Rampage get paid in full with four of a kind, or will his opponent think that this can't be a bluff and be able to lay down pocket rockets?

Everybody loves to see a classic Phil Hellmuth blow up at the poker table. During PokerGO's No Gamble, No Future, Alan Keating tries his best to wind up Hellmuth by showing him one of his cards on the river. Hellmuth has a set of kings on a very unfavorable runout and has to decide whether Keating's other card is the nuts or nothing. Phil Hellmuth is in a world of pain, but will he come to the right decision or will we see another epic Hellmuth tirade? When deciding whether or not to bet your hand, it is important to consider the type of opponent you are up against. Against weak passive players, you can bet more often with marginal made hands, since you can comfortably fold when they show aggression. However, if you are facing a loose aggressive opponent who is likely to put you in difficult spots when you bet, it is often better to exercise pot control and check back instead. Phil Hellmuth ‘The Poker Brat' has won over $30,700,000 in live poker tournaments putting him in the top 100 on the all time money list. Hellmuth has 17 World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets which is currently the most that any poker player has won! Hellmuth is very well known for his antics and outbursts at the poker table which is why he is known as ‘The Poker Brat'. Since 2006, Hellmuth has played on 195 live streamed cash games and has lost over $800,000. Alan Keating is a well known high stakes cash game poker player often playing in the biggest live cash games and private poker games around the world. Keating has become more of a regular on the Hustler Casino Live stream. He is extremely popular amongst poker fans partly due to the fact that he wins and loses millions of dollars whilst always carrying a smile on his face! Keating has been seen associating with poker celebrities such as Dan Bilzerian. Since 2019, Alan has played over 51 live streamed cash games and has won over $350,000. No Gamble, No Future is an American poker television program that airs on PokerGO, and premiered on August 1, 2022. The poker show provides cash game-focused entertainment with a variety of stakes and poker players. It has featured players such as Phil Hellmuth ‘The Poker Brat', Andrew Robl ‘good2cu', Eric Persson, Patrick Antonius ‘The Finn', Matt Berkey, Nik Airball, Rampage Poker, Wolfgang Poker, and Daniel Negreanu ‘DNegs' ‘KidPoker'. Preflop:Ryan Feldman raises with 76 of spades under the gun to $2,000 with Phil Hellmuth opting to just flat call with pocket kings in the cutoff. Nik Airball calls from the button with 65o before Alan Keating calls out of the small blind holding A7o, with the very key ace of diamonds. Brett Hanks defends the big blind with K8o, and they head to the flop five ways. Flop – Js 8d 4d:Keating checks first with a backdoor flush draw and backdoor straight draw before Hanks fires out $6,000 with second pair. Feldman calls with a gutshot and a backdoor flush draw. Hellmuth calls with his cowboys, which are the second best overpair to the board. Airball folds his gutshot, but Keating calls with what is currently ace high. Turn – 3d:The three of diamonds on the turn brings in the flush. Keating, who holds the nut flush blocker checks, and Hanks chooses to check with his pair of eights. Feldman also checks before Hellmuth slides out a bet of $10,000 with his two kings. Keating calls with his draw to the nuts, but Hanks and Feldman fold. River – Kd:Heads up to the king of diamonds river, as Keating has now improved to the nut flush! Keating puts Hellmuth all in for $57,400, which is just over the size of the pot. While Hellmuth is tanking, Keating shows the seven of clubs. Will this play help Keating to get paid by The Poker Brat, or will the 17 time World Series of Bracelet (WSOP) winner be able to use his white magic and lay down top set?

In the 885th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Kyna England discuss the biggest pot in High Stakes Poker history, a $1.4 million monster won by Alan Keating. That led to a bigger discussion on the state of televised poker and the game's modern vs. old-school characters. The crew also discusses the report that Phil Hellmuth apparently missing out on an $80 million payday after declining to invest $15,000 into a company, the status of Doug Polk's "Code Doug" challenge, and recent tournament winners including Daniel Negreanu and Chino Rheem. Oh, they also took a look at some of the best April Fools' Day pranks from the poker world, including one from PokerNews featuring Nik Airball. Chad then offers a glimpse into his recent run in the MSPT Riverside, everyone shares their thoughts on the 2025 Wynn Summer Classic schedule, and in a new round of Collusion Mind Meld, Mike and Kyna try to get on the same page, and despite some early struggles, they do manage to hit their stride.

pokerstrategy #pokervlog #bradowen While playing a cash game at the Lodge Card Club in Texas, Brad Owen found himself up against co-owner Doug Polk and other Lodge Poker regulars. In this particular poker hand, Brad reaches the river with just ace-high in a 3-bet pot and decides to fire a huge bet as a bluff. […] The post WPH #556: The NEW Pocket ACES for Brad Owen! first appeared on Jonathan Little.

I kick things off this week with updates from the Ante Up Discord Community, the latest on this month's Patreon games, and a reminder that the Hold ‘em game's first prize is now up to $150! Plus, we look ahead to the next Ante Up Poker Tour stop at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek, running May 1-5. Next, Elle and I welcome Dustin Skarra to the table, where we talk WSOP schedule, Doug Polk's “Code Doug,” the APAT, and a unique Tennessee Hold ‘em you might not have heard of. On Call the Floor, Elliott rules on a tricky situation involving two cards coming out on the turn—what's the right call? Then, Patrick and I tackle my least favorite hand in this week's Hand of the Week (HOTW). Will it finally come through, or just reinforce my hatred for it? Finally, I wrap up the show with Joe's One Outer, discussing the ever-elusive concept of Run Good in poker. Tune in and Ante Up!

Life Outside Poker is a podcast for PokerNews hosted by Connor Richards that seeks to pull back the curtain on poker players and allow viewers and listeners to get to know them on a personal level. In the 25th episode, Connor speaks with embattled poker pro Brad Booth about learning poker from his grandfather, climbing up stakes in Canada, living at the Bellagio and playing in Bobby's Room, bluffing Phil Ivey and getting cheated on Ultimate Bet. Booth, who the poker community hasn't heard from for several years, opened up about his absence and going missing in 2020, as well as his gambling addiction and various poker debts to players like Doug Polk that he says he plans to make right. "I got caught up in all of it and all I can try and do is make right now," he told PokerNews of his poker debts. The Life Outside Poker podcast is available on major streaming platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, SoundCloud and iHeartRadio. You can also watch the interview with Brad Booth by heading to the PokerNews YouTube channel.

With the WSOP around the corner, we pick out some key events that have caught our interest, plus we discuss Doug Polk's latest challenge—you won't want to miss this one! Here is a link to his video explaining it all. In Call the Floor, Elliott clarifies the rules on folding out of turn, while our Hand of the Week takes us into the wild world of a Crazy Pineapple Tournament with a truly crazy hand.

In the 877th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which has been nominated for 'Podcast of the Year' at the Global Poker Awards, Chad Holloway, Kyna England, and Mike Holtz discuss ACR calling Nacho Barbero a "goofball" after serious accusations arose when the Argentinean pro shared a social media post that showed him using GTO Wizard. Patrick Leonard did a deep dive into the data, and while it apparently shows no nefarious activity, it did get the community questioning the situation as a whole.  Chad and Kyna also share their experience at the massive MSPT Potawatomi, which saw them both cash on just one bullet apiece. Get a look at their Wisconsin adventure, and find out where they each finished. They also highlight the winner of that tournament as well as Angela Jordison, who took down a side event. The crew then shows some love for the Venetian Poker Room, examines a big hand between Doug Polk and Mariano that was live-streamed from The Lodge, and Leon Tsoukernik feeling 'Absolutely Fine' two weeks after a 40-hour coma. Finally, get a look at Phil Galfond on the latest Life Outside Poker episode as well as a reminder to enter the PokerNews Giveaway for a copy of The Las Vegas Book valued at $500.

In the 875th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which has been nominated for 'Podcast of the Year' at the Global Poker Awards, Chad Holloway, Kyna England, and Mike Holtz dive into the wild story of a Supreme Court attorney who is in hot water over poker taxes. What makes the tale of Tom Goldstein so interesting is that the sums he played for were astronomical with him having reportedly won $50 million only to lose it all plus another $14 million. While his name might not be familiar to the poker masses, you may have either heard about or seen him before as he was written about in The Setup, which was written by his friend Dan Bilzerian, and he also appeared on the Hustler Casino Live (HCL) $1,000,000 Cash Game last year as the mysterious, masked "Thomas" where he mucked the winning hand at showdown in a pot worth $540,000! The crew then chat about Leon Tsoukernik awakening from a 40-hour coma after a Propofol overdose, with his future very much up in the air. They also get into a bad poker promotion that almost ran at a Las Vegas casino on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, highlight the upcoming 2025 Leaf Metal Poker trading card set, and discuss popular ARIA dealer Clyde “Snack Attack” Gaskins appearing on Netflix's Queer Eye. Finally, they wrap things up by recapping some big winners including Pamela Belote setting the new women's record for most WSOP Circuit rings, Martins Adeniya taking down the 2025 Lucky Hearts Poker Open Championship, and Andrew Lichtenberger defeating Nick Schulman in the latest PGT event.

In the 867th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, sponsored by the free-to-play WSOP App, Chad Holloway, Kyna England, and Mike Holtz are at Level 9 Studio to discuss the "controversy" of Doug Polk making the final table of his own poker tournament down at The Lodge in Austin, Texas. Should a poker operator be allowed to play in their own event? That seemed to be the question of the week in the poker world. The crew then played "Race the Ace" to determine a winner in our giveaway for a seat into the ClubWPT Gold $5,000,000 Freeroll Invitational (the answer to how many engraved plates are on the WPT Mike Sexton Champion's Cup was 374)! From there, it is a look at Maria Ho winning the Celebrity Poker Tour (CPT) 2024 Championship and Chad getting to meet Impractical Jokers Brian "Q" Quinn and Joe Gatto, Sketch, and Vegas Matt. Speaking of fun events, find out who won the the Global Poker Table Talk event during Formula 1 featuring Antonio Esfandiari, Michael Phelps, Carlos Sainz Jr, and Charles Leclerc, and then get a behind-the-scenes look at the Big Deal for One Drop, which both Chad and Connor Richards attended. They caught up with Phil Hellmuth and even did an interview with Jennifer Tilly. Kyna then shares highlights from her trip to England for the PokerStars Women's Winter Festival, and then things wrap with a look at the upcoming Bar Poker Open taking place in Florida from Dec. 6-8 (Norman Chad will be there to do commentary)!
