Daniel Tafur completed, Joe Brindle two-bet, and Tafur called. Tafur only had 500 behind, and he tossed in his last chip on fourth street.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Robert Lauria raised first to act and was called by Bernd Gleissner from directly behind him, Joe Jeffery in the small blind, and Nicolas Milgrom in the big blind for a four-way pot.

The 10 brought three cards to a flush on the turn and Jeffery bet again. Milgrom and Gleissner called.

Jeffery bet a final time on the 7 river, which got a call from Milgrom and a fold from Gleissner.

Jeffery turned over AQ93 for the nut flush with a low and Milgrom sent his hand into the muck.

In the 897th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway and Kyna England are joined by PokerNews Ontario Ambassador Kyle Anderson, who fills in for Mike Holtz. The trio discusses the deadly shooting that took place across the street from the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) in front of the Bellagio Fountains, and then dives into the color-up controversy involving Tyler Brown, who shared his story with PokerNews.

Kyna then sounds off on the cancelled WSOP Online bracelet event, Michael Lavin won a gold bracelet and an extra $1,000,000 thanks to ClubWPT Gold, and Benny Glaser claimed two bracelets early in the summer.
