Dmitry Andreev opened to 4,500 from middle position and received calls from players in the cutoff and big blind.
The flop came Q?6?2? and action checked around to Andreev who fired an 11,000 continuation bet which was enough to force a fold from both opponents.

With two players seeing a board of 10?2?8? and about 15,000 in the middle, Albert Grane checked from under the gun and Ian Simpson bet 5,500 from the button. Grane made the call.
Simpson bet again for 10,000 when checked to on the Q? turn and once again was called by Grane.
Both players checked the 7? river.
"I win" Grane declared, tabling J?10? for a rivered flush to take the pot.
The very next hand, Simpson opened to 4,000 from the cutoff and Albert Grane defended from the big blind.
The flop came Q?5?7? and Grane check-called a 3,500 continuation bet from Simpson.
Both players checked the 8? turn leading to the 6? river. Simpson bet 15,000, sending Grane into the tank.
Several minutes went by before Grane flicked in the call. Simpson tabled A?5? for bottom pair, turned into aa bluff. Grane turned over J?7? for just a pair of sevens to take another pot at Simpson's expense.

In the 829th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by PokerStars, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Kyna England are back at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas to talk about Doug Polk being denied a new poker room in Texas. Check out some highlights and clips from a city council meeting in which Polk went to the podium to plead his case. While some respected what he had to say, some poker players like Chris "Big Huni" Hunichen and Matt Waxman were critical of his motives.
Speaking of Polk, he indicated he might be available to participate in Hustler Casino Live's (HCL) $1,000,000 Cash Game at the end of the month after Ethan "Rampage" Yau dropped out. The latter, who has been on a downswing and recently admitted to shedding tears over a $550K loss, caught some flack for pulling out after asking fans to buy pieces and was the subject of a negative video released by Alex Duvall. Find out what the crew thinks about Rampage's current predicament, including a World Series of Poker (WSOP) challenge issued by Holtz.
Also, learn about Sofie Dossi contorting herself at the Celebrity Poker Tour Invitational III, which was won by Katie Thurston for $20,000, as well as hearing from PokerNews Ambassadors Keith Becker (Pennsylvania) and Kyle Anderson (Ontario). Finally, the crew remembers two-time bracelet winner & music icon Steve Albini, who unexpectedly passed away earlier this week.

Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
A player from under the gun moved all in for 35,000 and Jeremy Atlan raised to 75,000 from the cutoff, forcing all other players out of the pot to leave the under the gun player at risk.
Opponent: K?K? 
Jeremy Atlan: 10?10?
Atlan was in rough shape with the lower pocket pair until the 8?5?10? flop gave him top set leaving his opponent drawing just to a heart or a king. The rest of the board ran out 3?6? changing nothing for either player and Atlan took the pot.

Maria Lampropulos: Q?8?
Jose Massa: 9?9?
Lampropulos was behind Massa's pocket nines and couldn't catch up on the 3?5?10?4?6? runout, resulting in her elimination in one of the last hands of the night while Massa took down a decent pot.
