After a preflop betting war, Brandon Elmore and Kami Hudson get all of their chips into the middle, with Hudson at risk.
Kami Hudson: A♦K♦
Brandon Elmore: J♦J♥
The flop of 5♥K♣9♣ immediately gives Hudson the lead as she pairs her king, and the runout of 8♦6♦ awards her the double.
A few hands later, on a flop of 7♥8♥10♥, Bobby Randolph leads and is immediately raised to 15,000 by Hudson, to which he responds by moving all in. Hudson quickly made the call to put him at risk and tabled Q♥J♥ for a queen-high flush while Randolph flipped over A♥J♠.
The turn 4♥ instantly gave Randolph the heart he needed, which left Hudson praying for the nine of hearts for a straight flush. Unfortunately for her, the river was the brick 6♠ and Randolph was awarded the pot for the double.

On the latest episode of the PokerNews Podcast sponsored by PokerStars, Chad Holloway, Connor Richards, and Matt Hansen talk about going to see comedian Kevin Nealon and shenanigans at the latest Charity Series of Poker (CSOP), which saw Mike "The Mouth" Matusow contend for the trophy!
They then chat about the PokerGO Tour (PGT) Championship, which had to contend with a seemingly intoxicated qualifier. It was at that event that Connor caught up with both Arden Cho and Samuel Laskowitz. The former would go on to make a deep run, while the latter was the last player to qualify for the tournament. Plus, here who won the tournament for $500,000!
Other topics discussed include new online gaming efforts in New York, the THM Winter Championship taking place in the Alps Jan. 29-Feb. 5, Mike Holtz and Zach Gruneberg winning WSOP.com Player of the Year honors, and Brantzen & Boston Rob to be on Deal or No Deal Island. Finally, Chad reveals that he's slated to play on Poker Night in America.

Registration is now officially closed for Day 1a of the $800 RGPS Tulsa Main Event with a total of 160 entries, well on pace to triple the $100,000 GTD.
The blind levels have also been increased from 30 minutes to 40 minutes at this time.
With 160 entrants in Day 1a, play will continue tonight until 12.5% remain, which is exactly 20 players who will then bag up for their return Sunday for Day 2.
There are currently 68 players remaining so there is still a good deal of poker to be played until bagging up for the night.
