Nível 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

In the 822nd episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by WPT Global, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz & Kyna England come to you from Level 9 Studios in Las Vegas to discuss the latest poker news, stories, and gossip.

That includes Nik Airball's 20-minute tank in a big hand on The Lodge Poker Live Stream, which prompted Doug Polk to take action. That led to a discussion on pet peeves at the table, and in Mike's case, the pet part is quite literal.

The crew also plays the first edition of PokerNews Plinko, discusses Chad's poker thrift store "Tweet of the Week," and talks about the current state of poker given Bitcoin is at an all-time high. From there, they dive into the wild journey of poker vlogger Corey Eyring, who is risking his entire net worth in an attempt to win $500,000 by the end of the year. Whatever amount he ends up with, the plan is to place it all on a single roulette bet of either red or black. Chad chatted with Eyring about his crazy quest and highlighted various clips throughout the episode.

Finally, the crew once again touches on Kevin Martin's 24/7 stream while attempting to win $5,000 playing online, which came to an unceremonius end.

Time to Crown a Champion in the 888poker LIVE Bucharest €560 Main Event

jnoy

An exciting 888poker LIVE Bucharest festival will come to an exciting end today, as the final 17 players battle for the trophy in the €560 Main Event. The successful series at 888poker Room Bucharest is ready to come to a close, but not before handing out a shiny piece of hardware at the top prize of €37,000.

When action resumes at 3 p.m. local time, Konstantinos Vatseris will be looking to better his performance in the Main Event last summer in Bucharest. Vatseris made the final table and finished in seventh in the 2023 edition, and leads the way this time with 2,700,000 chips.

That lead is not very big, as Romanians Alexandru Varninschi and Florin Elisei join Vatseris above the 60 big blind mark.

Day 3 Top 10 Chip Counts

Place	Player	Country	Chip Count	Big Blinds
1	Konstantinos Vatseris	Greece	2,700,000	68
2	Alexandru Varninschi	Romania	2,600,000	65
3	Florin Elisei	Romania	2,500,000	63
4	Alexandru Brumaru	Romania	1,700,000	43
5	Dumitrel Postu	Romania	1,500,000	38
6	Alexandru Lupuleac	Romania	1,300,000	33
7	Andrei Miron	Romania	1,300,000	33
8	Ionut Zanfirache	Romania	1,200,000	30
9	Alexandru Mitracu	Romania	1,125,000	28
10	Dumitru Barta	Romania	730,000	18

Among the names still in contention is Alexandru Lupuleac, who built up a strong stack after bursting the money bubble on Saturday. Day 1c chip leader Dan Galinschi is also returning to action, but he’ll need to make up ground after bagging 10 big blinds to finish up Day 2.

The remaining combatants have all secured at least €2,275, with just 17 people still alive to take home the €37,000 up top and the 888poker LIVE trophy.

€560 Main Event Remaining Payouts

Place	Prize	Place	Prize
1	€37,000	8	€4,900
2	€24,000	9	€4,200
3	€18,400	10-11	€3,600
4	€15,000	12-13	€3,100
5	€12,000	14-15	€2,600
6	€9,000	16-17	€2,275
7	€6,500

Play will restart at 3 p.m. local time, when the blinds will climb to 20,000/40,000 with a 40,000 big blind ante. Once again, the 888poker Twitch and YouTube channels will have all of the action. Streaming will be on delay, as will the PokerNews live reporting coverage.

Be sure to join us and follow every moment until the winner’s photos are taken as the series wraps up in the Romanian capital.
