Andrei Konopelko bet 1,600 from under the gun on a flop of 10?9?3? and Skyler Roberts called in early position. Brandy Savage then raised to 3,500 in the small blind and both opponents called.
All three players checked the 4? turn before Konopelko bet 6,500 on the 7? river. Roberts quickly folded, but Savage gave it some thought before also folding after around a minute.
"I would've called in your spot, but not with you behind me," Roberts told Savage.
The next hand, Roberts raised to 600 under the gun before Jeffrey Muncy three-bet to 2,600 in early position. Erick Lindgren called in middle position, as did Konopelko in the big blind and Roberts.
The flop came 4?4?5? and Muncy bet 3,500. Lindgren and Konopelko both called. The 8? turn was checked through and Konopelko bet 12,500 on the 5? river.
Muncy called and Lindgren folded, claiming he had two jacks. Konopelko showed 8?8? for a full house and Muncy tossed Q?Q? into the muck.

In the 843rd episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway and Kyna England are joined at Level 9 Studio by Joey Ingram, who served as special co-host to talk about the latest happenings at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) as well as his new partnership with GTO Wizard.
The biggest story is that of Scott Seiver, who captured his third bracelet of the summer and became just the seventh player in history to win three bracelets in the same year. Could he make history by becoming the only player to win four? He has two more weeks to do it.
Despite winning three bracelets, you might be surprised to learn that Seiver is far from a lock to win the 2024 WSOP Player of the Year; in fact, Jeremy Ausmus, who hasn't won a bracelet this summer, isn't too far behind in points thanks to a bevy of final table appearances. Would a non-bracelet winner winning POY over a three-time winner cause a controversy? The crew discusses that very possibility.
Chad then shares pictures and videos from the exclusive Global Poker party that took place at PokerGO Studio on Sunday night, while Ingram opens up about all things GTO Wizard. As usual, you'll also get your dose of other WSOP bracelet winners and a $25K Fantasy update. Oh, and did we mention talk about Daniel Negreanu, Nick Schulman, and Phil Ivey? Because that's all in there too.
A new PokerNews Podcast will drop twice weekly during the 2024 WSOP every Tuesday and Friday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time. Make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you do not miss an episode!

The flop came J?5?3?. Burd fired a 4,000 continuation bet which was enough to force a fold from Berry.

The button continued for 2,500 on a rainbow 2?Q?J? flop before Ethier raised to 8,500. After a long tank, the button mucked and Ethier dragged in the pot to get back above starting stack.

Mauro Scala opened to 700 from early position and immediately got three-bet to 1,500 by Nicola Comaianni in the seat next to him. Scala called and they went to the flop.
Scala check-called a bet of 3,000 from Comaianni on the 8?J?7? flop to see the 5? appear on the turn. Again Scala check-called the same bet of 3,000 and they headed to the river.
On the board-pairing 7? river, Scala checked and faced a bet of 5,000 from Comaianni. Scala then check-raised to 17,000 and was met by a quick fold from Comaianni.

Picking up the action partway through the hand, James Dike in the small blind got his remaining 4,500 in the middle against Stuart Rutter in late position.
James Dike: A?9? 
Stuart Rutter: A?10?
Dike was in rough shape and looked to be heading to the exits after the flop came J?6?J? followed by the 3? turn. The 9? river was just what the doctor ordered for Dike, however, as he paired up his kicker to score a small double.
