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 renowned Japanese vlogger Masato Yokosawa, AKA “World Wide Yokosawa.” While players in the United States might think folks like Brad Owen and Andrew Neeme has the biggest vlog followings in the world, that distinction actually belongs to Masato, who regularly clears 600K views on each of his vlogs!
The Japanese vlogging sensation opens up about his start in poker, what inspired him to start a vlog, and how he’s managed to turn it into a smashing success with the help of a creative team. He also talks about his desire to win a WSOP gold bracelet, how Daniel Negreanu and Phil Hellmuth are perceived in his home country, and what the future looks like for poker in Japan.
Chad and Jesse then do a new "Calling the Clock" segment in which they offer quick two-minute dialogues for topics on “The Board.”

Action was joined with the board showing 7♠5♥2♥. Kris Chaykowski, the cutoff, moved all in for 13,700. He received two callers - a player in early position, and a player in middle position who called all in for less. All three players' cards were turned over, with the player in early position having both of his opponents covered.
Middle Position: 9♠9♥
Kris Chaykowski: A♥6♥
Early Position: Q♦Q♥
Chaykowski moved ahead on the A♦ turn, and the 10♠ river gave him the pot, with the player in middle position being eliminated. As he was stacking his chips, he mentioned to the table that he didn't have to use his one time. "I didn't even ask for an ace," he said.

Horseshoe Sections - Level 4: Blinds 300/500
A player in middle position raised to 1,000 and was called by the player directly to his left. Lexy Gavin-Mather then raised to an even 5,000 from the blind.
The initial raiser called and the player in between folded. Heads up they saw a flop of K♣3♥7♣. This time Gavin-Mather downsized to 3,600 and was called yet again.
The turn brought the 6♥ and she fired for a larger 12,500. At this point in the hand, the gentleman in middle position asked Gavin-Mather, "Do you have a big hand?" Gavin-Mather didn't offer any information, despite maintaining a friendly demeanor.
"Alright..." said her opponent as he picked up his hand and swished two queens back and forth before throwing them in the muck, "I fold my pair of queens to you."
Lexy Gavin-Mather then went on to say, "Okay, just because PokerNews is here..." and showed her A♣Q♥ to the table, going on to say, "That was my only bluff today...".
Her tablemates chimed in that they weren't so sure of that and continued to play on.

Three players created a pot of about 10,000 and the flop came J♠8♦6♦. Michael Vela checked, and a player bet 4,500 before David Fadoul raised to 10,000.
Vela check-raised by dropping a stack of reds across the line for about 70,000 and the original bettor quickly folded as Fadoul snap-called his stack of 24,000.
David Fadoul: 9♦7♦
Michael Vela: J♥8♥
Vela flopped two pair but Fadoul had an open-ended straight draw and a flush draw. The K♣ turn was a brick but the Q♦ river improved Fadoul to a flush to double through Vela.
