Niveau 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Benny Chen raised to 125,000 from the late position, while Andreas Kniep three bet to 330,000 from the cutoff. Chen made the call to the flop.

The flop came 8♦4♠2♣, and Chen made a quick check to Kniep. He led out for 250,000, while Chen found a call.

When the A♣ peeled off on the turn, Chen once again checked. Kniep fired for 500,000 and was again called.

The river was the 9♦, as Chen checked to Kniep. He spared no time and jammed all in for 4,700,000. After some consideration, Chen folded, and Kniep showed J♥10♥ to take the pot.

Many were shocked this week when Ali Imsirovic broke his silence this week more than a year after being accused of cheating by other high-stakes poker pros.

But few were satisfied with the answers provided by the 2021 GPI Player of the Year, who admitted to multi-accounting for several months in 2020, and again in 2022, while dismissing other allegations as "ridiculous," including that he's used real-time assistance (RTA) and recently been running an online cheating ring.

The poker community's reactions to Imsirovic's video make up the latest edition of The Muck.

Niveau 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

In a blind versus blind pot, all the chips went in the middle preflop between Zong Chi He, at risk for a stack worth 730,000, and against Rafael Gonzalez's bigger stack.

Zong Chi He: Q♦4♦
Rafael Gonzalez: K♦8♠

Hi Che was in terrible shape for a double up when the flop showed 8♦4♠A♥, giving a pair of eights to Gonzalez, but the 2♦ and the A♦ completed the board to give a runner-runner flush to Hi Che and the needed double-up.

Niveau 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Jerome Zerbib put all of his chips in the pot from under the gun which was not enough to cover the blinds for 60,000. The player on the button raised to 350,000 and the blinds folded. Zerbib announced, "Thank you for the protection".

Jerome Zerbib: 6♦6♠
Robert Jenkins: Q♥5♥

The board came out Q♦2♦Q♣ and Jenkins was looking like he made the right move with the isolation but the turn was the 4♣ and the river 6♥ gave Zerbib the much needed lifeline with the full house.

Robert Jenkins	1,100,000 100,000	100,000
