Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 14

On the latest PokerNews Podcast episode, Chad Holloway and Jesse Fullen continue The Chad & Jesse Poker Show straight from the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP).

In the penultimate show of the summer, Chad & Jesse welcome two guests to the show starting with Josh Arieh, who has won two bracelets this summer and was nominated for the Poker Hall of Fame. Arieh talked about the WSOP back in the late 1990s, his career resurgence, Poker Stake, and shares a fun story involving Ted Forrest and the late Layne Flack.

The other guest is 2004 WSOP Main Event runner-up David Williams, who was fresh of winning a Flip & Go. He talks about his history in that event, how his WSOP gold bracelet and diamond toothpick were stolen in a home robbery, and why he wouldn’t do Master Chef again.

Chad and Jesse then do a new "Calling the Clock" segment in which they offer quick two-minute dialogues for topics on “The Board.”

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 14

Limit Hold'em

Action caught up to a hand between Albert Shim and Volodymyr Kondratenko, with Shim betting the river on a board reading J♥5♦3♣5♣9♣ and Kondratenko raising.

After a moment of deliberation, Shim, with only 16,000 chips remaining, decided to three-bet 10,000 of those chips, sending Kondratenko into the tank.

"Can I show my hand?" Kondratenko asked the dealer, who replied no, as it would be declared dead.

Kondratenko ultimately decided to fold face up, showing down A♠A♣.

Shim mentioned, "I cannot show, but you know you made a good fold."

Altizer Eliminated by Perry

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 13

Limit Hold'em

Short on chips, Von Altizer was all-in preflop, with Jacob Perry making the call.

Von Altizer: K♦K♣
Jacob Perry: A♦J♣

Altizer was in great shape to double, but would need to avoid aces and diamond-heavy runouts, which was the case on the 9♣3♠2♠ flop.

However, the dealer rolled over the A♣ on the turn and Altizer was not able to catch back up on the 8♠ river, exiting the tournament in Level 13.
