PN Podcast: Was Idea for Rounders Stolen? Guest Jeffrey Allan Grosso Alleges So
Niveau 21
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
On the latest episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Connor Richards, and Matt Hansen talk about Ari Engel capturing his record 16th World Series of Poker (WSOP) Circuit gold ring, remember poker author Anthony Holden, and reveal what six new players have confirmed to play the $1,000,000 Big One for One Drop. They also recap Isaac Haxton winning the Super High Roller Bowl, winners from the Mixed Game Series II, WSOP Player of the Year Ian Matakis winning another tournament, and Next Gen Poker

Chad also shares highlights from his vacation on a Virgin Voyages cruise where he played in the WPT at Sea poker room, Matt tells you how you can win a seat into the $10,000 WPT World Championship, and Connor comes to you straight from the EPT Cyprus, which just kicked off.
Finally, Chad chats with Jeffrey Allan Grosso, author of the poker book Dirty Dealing. In it, he alleges that his ideas and screenplay were stolen by Miramax Films and ultimately turned into the movie Rounders. It might sound crazy, but there was a court case and everything. Chad read the book prior to chatting with Grosso, who opened up about what he claims happened, how he feels about it, and why he ultimately decided to write a book about his experience.
Listen to those stories and more on the latest episode of the PokerNews Podcast.

Hossien Taki raised to 31,000, from the hijack. Jelle Moene defended in the big blind.

The K♥ landed on the river and Moene sized up to 85,000. Taki snap-called. Moene tabled A♦6♦ for a straight; good enough to send Taki's cards into the muck.
"You missed value," Taki told Moene.
"That sucks for me," Moene replied, as he stacked a healthy amount of Taki's chips.
