Niveau 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Action folded to Samuel Fournier in the small blind who limped in. Carl Shaw then raised to 300,000 and Fournier reraised to 800,000.

Shaw called and they saw a flop of 2♣J♥A♥. Fournier led out for 275,000 and Shaw quickly called.

The turn came the K♦ and Fournier moved all in for around 1,900,000. Shaw practically beat him into the pot and turned over A♣A♦ for top set. Fournier was caught bluffing with Q♠8♦ and needed to hit a ten on the river to stay alive with a straight.

The dealer instead turned over the 7♠ and Fournier's tournament came to a sudden end.

Niveau 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Santiago Plante raised to 170,000 in early position and Joao Sydenstricker called in the big blind.

The flop came 3♥Q♣7♥ and Plante continued for 140,000. Sydenstricker again called and both players checked the K♦ turn.

Sydenstricker used up a time bank on the 9♣ river before checking again and this time Plante slid forward a tower of green 25,000 chips for a bet of 500,000. Sydenstricker snap-folded.

"Were you going for a big bluff?" Plante asked him after the hand.

"You have ace-king, ace-queen," Sydenstricker responded.

"You think I would check back ace-king," Plante replied.

"Ace-queen?" Sydenstricker asked.

"That's what I'm trying to say I have. I have something you would never believe. It makes sense when you see it, but you wouldn't believe it," Plante concluded.

Pedro Lopes: K♦9♦

The board finished up 7♦J♣ and Wiciak turned a third seven to send Lopes to the rail in 18th place for €55,000.

Markku Koplimaa: 9♥9♠
Carl Shaw: Q♦5♦

Koplimaa was in great shape to double up and remained so on the K♠5♠8♦ flop. Shaw picked up additional outs on the 2♦ turn but the A♥ river was clean for Koplimaa, who received a full double up as a result.

Niveau 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

On the latest PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Connor Richards, and Matt Hansen catch you up to speed on what's been happening at EPT Barcelona, Daniel Negreanu defeating Doug Polk on High Stakes Duel, and the return of PokerStars' North American Poker Tour (NAPT).

They also delve into the Global Poker US Poker Open (USPO), tell you about the first winner from the the PokerStars Summer Series, cover two big hands involving pocket queens from the past week, and debate arguably the hottest topic of the week — would you pay back $20K after a player grossly misread his hand and called off on the river (which actually happened on Hustler Casino Live)?

As for a guest, Connor and Matt were at EPT Barcelona and caught up with Tom Orpaz, a high-stakes real estate entrepreneur who in his spare time can be found grinding the EPT High Roller circuit. Orpaz, who made headlines in 2020 for purchasing the most expensive apartment in the world, went on a tear at EPT Barcelona that saw him winning €25,000 No-Limit Hold'em and €50,000 Super High Roller Second Chance for two trophies and over $1 million in winnings, proving he can hold his own among the top pros. PokerNews caught up with Orpaz, who has proven to be one of the most entertaining and talkative players on typically reserved High Roller Circuit.
