Zachary Habayeb opened 10,000 under the gun, and Oliver White three-bet 27,000 in the cutoff. Habayeb jammed for roughly 55,000, and White made the call.
Zachary Habayeb: A♥K♥
Oliver White: A♣8♣
Habayeb was in great shape until the Q♠9♦8♦ flop hit the felt, pairing White's eight. The A♠ turn and 4♥ river weren't good enough for Habayeb as he tossed his bounty chip toward White.
Ryan Feldman, co-owner of Hustler Casino Live, revealed on PokerNews' Life Outside Poker podcast that he was kicked out of the 2016 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event over a conflict of interest stemming from his employment at ESPN.
In the 16th episode of the podcast, host Connor Richards speaks with the producer/founder of the most popular livestream in poker history about why he was booted from poker's biggest tournament, along with numerous other topics such as sports journalism, interviewing star athletes, leaving ESPN to start a poker stream, founding HCL and putting together some of the most entertaining lineups in poker history.
This interview was filmed in July at the 2024 WSOP inside Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
Dara O'Kearney raised to 15,000 from under the gun, an effective all-in with 500 behind the line. Yunsheng Sun three-bet to 36,500 from the small blind and Daniel Guerras cold four-bet jammed for approximately 200,000 from the big blind. Both O'Kearney and Sun called.
Dara O'Kearney: Q♣10♥
Daniel Guerras: A♣K♥
Yunsheng Sun: Q♠Q♥
The board ran out Q♦J♥2♦9♣4♠; Sun's queens held to score a double bustout, as he claimed this monster pot alongside two mystery bounties.
Marc Macdonnell limped in early position and Mitchell Garshofsky raised 12,500 next to act. Anouar Boushab was on his immediate left, and jammed for 30,000. The table quickly folded back around to Garshofsky and he made the call.
Anouar Boushab: K♦Q♥
Mitchell Garshofsky: A♠K♣
The K♥J♥2♠ flop paired both players, but Garshofsky's ace-kicker still had the lead. The 3♣ turn, and 4♠ river changed nothing, sending Boushab out of the tournament.
Action was picked up on the river of K♣10♣K♥8♥5♥. Jon Kyte was facing an all in shove from Jacob Amsellem who had Kyte covered. A minute or so elapsed before the clock was called.
As the floor staff came over to the table, Kyte open-folded A♦10♦. Amsellem then showed the 8♣.
