Harmon Frustrates Hellmuth Before Dinner

Niveau 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

On the last hand before the dinner break, Wayne Harmon bet 120,000 from the cutoff and Phil Hellmuth called on the button.

Both players checked the monotone board of A♥K♥2♥ and the 6♥ came on the turn putting a fourth heart on the board. Harmon bet 65,000 and Hellmuth clicked back for 150,000. Harmon immediately responded with a raise to 310,000 leading Hellmuth to go on a trademarked foul-mouthed tirade.

Harmon kept his cool during Hellmuth's rant and was smiling throughout the theatrics by the "Poker Brat". Eventually, Hellmuth folded and Harmon spoke to PokerNews after the hand and declared "I had no heart, but I had all the heart!" while thumping his chest.

Martin Zamani bet 150,000 on a flop of 10♦8♦A♦ and Leonid Yanovski called in the big blind.

Zamani took out a $100 bill and offered it to Yanovski. "I'll give you $100 if you show a bluff. Mr. Hu can hold it in escrow," he said as he folded, but Yanovski didn't take him up on the offer and returned his cards face down.

Gianluca Cedolia: A♠4♣
Francis Anderson: Q♣3♣

Cedolia looked on course to double up and leave Anderson with crumbs after the runout of K♠9♦7♦6♠ at the turn, but the Q♠ river gave Anderson the pair of queens to send Cedolia to the rail.

Niveau 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

On the latest episode, Jesse Fullen and special co-host Norman Chad continue The Chad & Jesse Poker Show straight from the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP).

The two start by debating the pros and cons of the 2023 WSOP Main Event payouts before welcoming this week’s guest – poker vlogger Ryan Depaulo.

Among the topics they discuss with the Whole Foods parking lot bracelet winner are his biggest score to date (third place in the Colossus), what his father told him (“Don’t punt”), and Joey the Mush. Plus, they ask if he was banned from Borgata for vlogging, his main poker influence, and whether or not he’s a withered pro.

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

Niveau: 26

Blinds: 30,000/60,000
