On a river reading 2♣7♦6♣4♠6♦, Viktor Blom bet just over the size of the pot for 8,000 and after mulling it over a bit, David Peters made the call.
Blom promptly flashed king high and Peters tabled A♣J♥ for an excellent ace-high call on the river.
Just two tables over, Justin Bonomo was seen leaving the tournament area, as he'd been felted. It's unclear if Bonomo has another entry at his disposal, so only time will tell if he hops back in the field.
Bartlomiej Machon was all in preflop for his last 13,500 and called by Daniel Negreanu who covered him.
Bartlomiej Machon: 10♠10♦
Daniel Negreanu: A♣K♠
Machon caught the better end of the flip on the 6♦2♣Q♥ flop and remained ahead on the 4♥ turn and J♦ river to receive a full double up at Negreanu's expense.
Farah Galfond tapped the table good luck to John Riordan directly on her right, as it appeared they were both all in and she was at risk.
Farah Galfond: A♥Q♦
John Riordan: J♠J♥
The flop was no help to Galfond as it spilled out K♦6♦9♣, and by the time the 4♣ peeled she was halfway to putting on her coat, on the verge of collecting her belongings but when the A♠ fell on the river, she was given the opportunity to settle back into her seat.
Ren Lin opened to 4,000 from early position and received calls from players in the hijack and small blind. A player in the big blind moved all in and Lin called off for his remaining stack of 29,000 to put himself at risk. The hijack and small blind got out of the way.
Ren Lin: A♦Q♦
Big Blind: A♣J♥
The board ran out 2♠7♥5♥8♣9♦ and Lin secured another full double up.
In the penultimate show of the summer, Chad & Jesse welcome two guests to the show starting with Josh Arieh, who has won two bracelets this summer and was nominated for the Poker Hall of Fame. Arieh talked about the WSOP back in the late 1990s, his career resurgence, Poker Stake, and shares a fun story involving Ted Forrest and the late Layne Flack.
The other guest is 2004 WSOP Main Event runner-up David Williams, who was fresh of winning a Flip & Go. He talks about his history in that event, how his WSOP gold bracelet and diamond toothpick were stolen in a home robbery, and why he wouldn’t do Master Chef again.
Chad and Jesse then do a new "Calling the Clock" segment in which they offer quick two-minute dialogues for topics on “The Board.”
