On the latest PokerNews Podcast episode, Chad Holloway and Jesse Fullen continue The Chad & Jesse Poker Show straight from the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP).

They are joined by World Poker Tour (WPT) Ambassadors Andrew Neeme and Brad Owen, who open up about how their respective vlogs helped them build their poker careers. They also discuss upcoming WPT initiatives and play a little game where we quiz them on "who said it?" regarding quotes from their first-ever vlogs.

Chad and Jesse also breakdown the big frame coming out of the 2023 WSOP, which is the antics of Martin Kabrhel in the $250K High Roller. Some top pros have accused him of behaving inappropriately, with some even suggesting he could be cheating. We share some some clips and hear from players on the ground during the event. What are your thoughts on the situation?

James Obst: 7♠5♦ / 7♦2♦5♠J♣ / 3♠

Ray Dehkharghani completed with a king and James Obst raised for the initial raiser to call. Obst bet fourth street and Dehkharghani stuck around with a call as Obst then bet fifth street with his two pair when checked to. Dehkharghani raised and Obst called.

Dehkharghani picked up a gutshot on top on sixth street and checked while Obst bet, earning a call from Dehkharghani.

Both players missed on seventh street and Dehkharghani checked again. Obst bet and that sent Dehkharghani into the tank. He grabbed a handful of green T-25,000 chips and riffled them for a while, staring at the board and his opponent. Eventually, the call by Dehkharghani followed with just a pair of treys and Obst collected a nice boost to his stack.
