In the penultimate show of the summer, Chad & Jesse welcome two guests to the show starting with Josh Arieh, who has won two bracelets this summer and was nominated for the Poker Hall of Fame. Arieh talked about the WSOP back in the late 1990s, his career resurgence, Poker Stake, and shares a fun story involving Ted Forrest and the late Layne Flack.
The other guest is 2004 WSOP Main Event runner-up David Williams, who was fresh of winning a Flip & Go. He talks about his history in that event, how his WSOP gold bracelet and diamond toothpick were stolen in a home robbery, and why he wouldn’t do Master Chef again.
Chad and Jesse then do a new "Calling the Clock" segment in which they offer quick two-minute dialogues for topics on “The Board.”
Agharazi Babayev was all in and at risk preflop against Peter Hengsakul who had a covering stack.
Agharazi Babayev: 7♦7♥
Peter Hengsakul: A♦A♠
Babayev was drawing close to dead when Hengsakul hit a set on the Q♦A♣K♦ flop. He did not hit running quads on the 2♠ turn and J♣ river resulting in his elimination.
Shengchao Zhu was in the cutoff and moved all in for about 1,500,000 and the big blind Amirpasha Emami made the call.
Shengchao Zhu: A♦9♥
Amirpasha Emami: J♠J♦
The board came out 2♠Q♥K♣5♠A♥ and Zhu prevailed with his pair of aces. Zhu was relieved as his friend just called him and invited him to dinner as he saw on the website that he was busted.
Emami said, "Can you tell the news that the guy with jacks threw the entire table over and went mad?" and laughed.
