Limit Hold'em
Josh Arieh raised from the small blind and Calvin Anderson defended his big blind.
The 6♦5♣3♦ flop checked through to the K♦ turn which saw Arieh check again. Anderson bet, Arieh raised, and Anderson called.
On the A♣ river, Arieh led a final time, sending Anderson into a small tank. He eventually slammed calling chips into the middle, only to be shown the A♠7♦ of Arieh, who was bluffing with a gutter and diamond but rivered top pair. Anderson scoffed at his bad luck, indicating that a non-diamond ace or four were Arieh's only outs.

In the 977th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by FanDuel Poker, Chad Holloway and Mike Holtz are joined at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas by a pair from the UK in Grosvenor Poker's Katie Swift and Philip "The Tower" Heald.
The quartet discusses the recent high-profile bet between Phil Hellmuth and Shaun Deeb, one involving the former's son, Phillip "P3" Hellmuth III, and the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event. Deeb stands to win $14,000 max, while Hellmuth could potentially win $10,000,000! It's an extremely long shot, but what do you think?
From there, the crew looks at a pair of game-changing hands. In the first, Dario Sammartino shared on social media that an automatic shuffler has apparently sorted the cards, which resulted in two very similar hands, and in the other, a dealer error resulted in the final two players in the COLOSSUS being dealt the wrong cards in the first hand of heads-up play. No one noticed in real time, and the tournament ended as a result.
Other topics include changes to the Poker Hall of Fame, The Tower advocating for Barny Boatman and John Duthie to be inducted, and a look ahead to Grosvenor Poker's famed GOLIATH, which will run July 23-August 2. Finally, don't forget to order your Think Jerky here!

Stud Hi-Lo
John Veltri: XxXx/6♥4♥A♠K♠/Xx
Nicolas Milgrom: XxXx/3♥4♦10♦Q♠/Xx
"Aces and kings the first four. And then I squeezed a no-side on seventh. I probably went one too many bets there," John Veltri said, still recounting the massive pot against Josh Arieh.
He then completed and Nicolas Milgrom called. Veltri continued with bets on fourth and fifth streets, and Milgrom called.
Veltri bet again on sixth, and Milgrom called. Veltri threw out a bet on seventh without even looking at his card, and Milgrom quickly tossed away his cards.
