Summary
This week on the Ante Up Poker Podcast, the WSOP Main Event final table is locked and the “August Nine” are set to battle for $10 million and the bracelet at Paris Las Vegas. In Table Talk, we introduce some of the players, and the notable names who fell just short. Plus the mid-tournament shot-clock bombshell that had players fuming, the chilling story of a pro robbed after cashing, a record-breaking series, a downtown poker room makeover, and where the Ante Up Tour heads next. In Call the Floor, a first-time WSOP player, a ticking clock before the break, and a bathroom line that changes everything. One quick fold sparks a rules debate that has us asking: is this really worthy of a penalty? You make the call. For Hand of the Week, it’s $2/$4 Seven-Card Stud. Split aces look great off the deal, but one very scary board and a tricky opponent turn every street into a genuine decision. When your big pair is never the nuts, do you have the discipline to make the call that matters? And Joe wraps it up with a One Outer on aces, bad flops, and learning to be okay with the next best thing. We’ll see you at the tables! Click here for our Linktree.
