David Daneshgar shoved for his last 200,000 and Alejandro Herrera reshoved in the cutoff for 505,000. The rest of the players folded, and they tabled their cards:
David Daneshgar: K♠Q♣ 
Alejandro Herrera: Q♥Q♠
Daneshgar's hand was dominated, but he managed to find a board 9♦3♣J♠9♥K♣ to get a pair of kings on the river and double his stack. Herrera busted a few minutes later.

Players were already on the 5♠Q♥10♥ flop. Philip Almond checked the small blind, Yang Lei checked the big blind and Stoyan Madanzhiev raised from the cutoff to 60,000. Only Almond made the call.
The 3♣ was turned and Almond checked again. Madanzhiev bet 145,000 and Almond called.
The J♥ river prompted Almond to check. Madanzhiev moved all in, sending Almond into the tank.
After a minute, Almond mucked his hand and stacked up Madanzhiev more.

Stoyan Madanzhiev: A♣Q♦
The 6♦7♠10♠ flop brought in a sweat for Selides, but he missed on the 6♠ A♠ runout.

Paul Snead raised to 60,000 under the gun and Kevin Masefield went all in for 250,000 a few seats over. Snead made the call when it folded back to him.
Kevin Masefield: K♣Q♣
Paul Snead: A♦Q♦
The flop scrolled across 3♠2♦2♥ and Snead congratulated Masefield on a good game as the A♠ snapped off the deck, making the Q♥ on the river a pure formality.

In the 898th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Kyna England and Mike Holtz are back at Level 9 Studio to offer their thoughts on Doug Polk's recent appearance on Kill Tony, the popular Austin-based stand-up comedy program. How did Doug do in front of Tony Hinchcliffe and company? Let's just say you might be surprised.
Mike, who made a recent appearance in Daniel Negreanu's vlog, then sounds off on the cancelled WSOP Online bracelet event, the crew discusses the recently-announced changes to the WSOP Circuit, Chad goes to the world's largest casino collectibles show, and Matt Savage offers his thoughts as a special guest speaker.
Other topics include bracelet wins by Nick Schulman, Jason Koon, and John Racener, highlights from recent Charity Series of Poker (CSOP) events, and an exclusive interview with famed poker author Michael Kaplan, who recently released a new book, Advantage Players. The veteran scribe shares several poker stories, including Phil Ivey and Kelly Sun's baccarat edge sorting, the legendary Billy Baxter, and what it was like working with Stu Ungar in what was one of the final, if not THE final, interviews before he passed in 1998.
Learn about all those stories and more in the latest episode of the PokerNews Podcast!
A new PokerNews Podcast will drop twice a week during the 2025 WSOP every Thursday and Sunday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time. Remember to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you do not miss an episode!
