In the 859th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by WPT Global, Chad Holloway and Kyna England are joined by Jamie Kerstetter at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas to talk about the WPT World Championship, which isn't featuring a guarantee this year but instead is offering players the opportunity at a $5,000,000 Freeroll, the largest freeroll in poker history!
The crew also talks about their favorite places to play poker in Las Vegas. At the same time, Jamie shares her experiences running deep in the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Ladies Event, attending the grand opening of the Potawatomi Poker Room in Milwaukee, and Ladies' meet-up games inside the new Venetian Poker Room. Speaking of which, did you know Jamie was the first person to ever fold in the new poker room? It's true, and you can hear the story here.
Chad then gets Kyna and Jamie to play the first-ever edition of "Who Tweeted It?" Also, hear about the upcoming PokerNews Podcast and Life Outside Poker Meet-Up Game (MUG) at Resorts World on Saturday, October 12 at 7 p.m.
Oh, and don't forget, you could win a $10,000 NAPT Gold Pass via either the PokerNews Podcast & Life Outside Poker Podcast giveaway or the Path to the NAPT for online players.

Players in the $1,100 Eureka Main Event are heading for a 65-minute dinner break. Action is set to resume at approximately 8:40 p.m. local time.
Late registration remains open until the start of Level 11.
Vladislav Dubanov opened to 2,500 from under the gun and was called by Andrzej Powalka in the cutoff. Elie Saade then shoved for approximately 30,000 from the small blind, which got a quick fold from Dubanov, but a call from Powalka, to put Saade at risk.
Elie Saade: A♥7♥
Andrzej Powalka: A♦Q♠
Saade found himself dominated and the 10♣4♦9♥4♥Q♦ runout needlessly paired Powalka's queen to send Saade to reenter should he choose.

Action folded around to Barny Boatman in the small blind, who had 5,000 in the middle as a reraise. Nina Krasilnikova moved all in from the big blind for 21,000 and Boatman made the call with the bigger stack. Players turned their cards.
Nina Krasilnikova: K♦J♥
Barny Boatman: A♥Q♠
The board ran out 4♥9♣2♦A♠4♣ and Boatman paired his ace on the turn. Krasilnikova tapped the table and took her leave as Boatman scooped the pot. She has since fired her second bullet of the day.

Victoria Livschitz set the tone with a raise to 2,400, but Artur Dzemidau, sitting in the hijack, responded with a bold three-bet to 7,000. Livschitz made the call, eager to see the flop.
When the flop came down J♠3♣A♠, Livschitz checked, and Dzemidau seized the moment to bet 4,000. Livschitz then sprang into action with a hefty raise to 16,000, prompting Dzemidau to call.
The 2♦ on the turn saw Livschitz check again, but Dzemidau kept up the pressure with a bet of 11,000. After checking her cards, Livschitz went all in for about 45,000, and Dzemidau didn’t hesitate to call.
As they turned their cards over, Livschitz revealed 2♠2♣ for a set of deuces, while Dzemidau showed J♥J♣ for a flopped set of jacks. The 8♥ on the river didn’t change anything, and Livschitz was sent to the rail.

Georgios Skarparis raised to 2,500 from the cutoff and found one caller in Ruslan Esov in the big blind.
Both players checked on the 7♣Q♦3♠ flop and then Esov called a 3,300 bet from Skarparis on the 10♥ turn.
The 3♥ completed the board and Skarparis sized up for a 7,600 bet. This time Esov thought better of it and let his hand go — awarding the pot to Skarparis.

Romain Retiere open raised to 2,500 from late position, Erwin Wiechers three-bet from the small blind for 8,800, then Georgios Vrakas moved all in from the big blind for 31,000. Retiere folded and Wiechers called. Players flipped their cards, with Vrakas at risk.
Georgios Vrakas: 6♠6♣
Erwin Wiechers: K♥K♠
The board ran out K♦4♦Q♠2♣8♥ and Wiechers further improved his hand, making a set of kings on the flop. He won the pot and Vrakas was eliminated.
