Ferguson Shows Two Pair, Seen Leaving Moments Later
Nível 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Isl Gonzalo raised to 900 from under the gun and action folded around to Brendan Ferguson for a call from the big blind.
The flop was Q♥9♠6♠ and Ferguson continued for 900. Gonzalo called and the turn was 7♥.
Ferguson tossed in another 1,900 on the turn, enough to force Gonzalo out of the pot. As he dragged in the pot, Ferguson showed Q♣7♠ for queens and sevens.
On the next hand, Maria Konnikova raised to 1,000 and everyone folded.
A few moments later, Ferguson was observed leaving the tournament area with his pillow under his arm.

Jesionek Moves In
Nível 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
On a board reading A♣3♦6♥ Brendan Ferguson checked his option over to Alexander Jesionek in the cutoff who bet 2,400. Action was back on Ferguson who wasted no time before putting in a check-raise to 6,400. Jesionek pondered his options and then put in the call.
The 4♦ landed on the turn and Ferguson continued the story by wagering 10,000. Jesionek went into the tank and burned a time bank before moving all in for about 26,000. Ferguson snap-folded and Jesionek dragged a healthy pot to inch back over starting stack.

Konnikova Bets the Turn
Nível 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Action was three ways with Q♦5♣K♣ on the flop when Brendan Ferguson checked from middle position before Richard Green tossed out 1,500 from the cutoff. Maria Konnikova made it 3,000 to go from the button and Ferguson bowed out before Green called.
The turn was Q♠ and Green check-called a bet of 4,500 from Konnikova.
Green checked again on the J♣ river and gave up the pot when Konnikova bet 15,000.
Meanwhile, it is now known that Konnikova's emotional support shark goes by "Sharky."

Two Loose Cannons: Find Out Who Won $50k Stakes to Play PokerStars Big Game
Nível 2
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Via an American Idol style competition, Nikki Limo and Lily Newhouse were chosen as the first PokerStars Big Game "loose cannons" in over a decade. As such, they will receive a $50,000 stake to compete in a high-stakes cash game against pros and entertaining recreational players.
The contest began on Sunday from the PokerStars North American Poker Tour (NAPT) with a free qualifier shootout poker tournament at Resorts World in Las Vegas. Each table winner — 20 players — then advanced to an intense interview process on Monday judged by Nadya Magnus, Joe Stapleton, and James Hartigan.
Magnus was one of the original loose cannons when the popular show first aired in 2010-2011. She won over $60,000 on that day, her first introduction to televised poker. Stapleton and Hartigan will commentate on the show when it airs in 2024. Filming will take place at Resorts World this week, however.
The purpose of the audition phase was to find the two individuals who best exemplify a true loose cannon — is at least a somewhat competent poker player, would benefit greatly from winning a significant amount in the game, and has a colorful personality.

Hickey Sets the Trap
Nível 2
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
After an open from under the gun, the action folded to Jason Hickey who defended his big blind and they were off to a flop heads up.
The 6♦6♥3♣ flop landed and action checked in flow to the original raiser, who continued for 700. Hickey only took a moment before putting in the check-raise to 1,900. The under-the-gun player called and the 9♠ hit the turn.
Hickey continued the story for 3,500 and once again the original raiser called on their way to a 7♦ river.
Hickey sat in the tank for a moment and then gathered enough chips to put out a large bet of 9,000. The original raiser thought it over for about a minute and then put in the chips.
Hickey tabled K♣K♠ for a premium that he slow-played preflop and the under-the-gun player mucked.
