Kevin Martin folds the nuts on stream
We recap some stories you may have missed including a Phil Ivey interview, a huge ICM spot and Doug Polk is not going away quietly.
Oops
Kevin Martin made the ultimate streamer error after recently signing for GGPoker, folding the nuts by mistake.
We have all done it, but rarely with thousands of people watch us explain our actions as we do.

He handled it in the best way possible, of course, by doing a hand analysis video of the incident afterwards:
Poker Twitter had a lot to say about a recent fold I made.

How Ivey became the greatest
It looks like Phil Ivey is back in the poker world now that he has finally settled his issues with the Borgata and another new video of him being interviewed by Barry Greenstein just dropped.
This time they discussed about how Phil climbed the ranks and improved to become perhaps the most feared player in the game:
Polk not done with poker Twitter
He ruffled a few feathers and entertained a lot of people last week when Doug Polk took on all comers on Twitter, challenging just about everyone along the way.
It wasn't a one off, as over the weekend he took to mocking his most common targets with a few well prepared zingers.
Also given he is one of the defendants named in the Mike Postle lawsuit, the final gag would suggest he is going to fight it.

Luke Schwartz is an inspiration.
Most losing players would throw in the towel. But not Luke. He keeps getting back up, stepping in the ring, and losing some more. That's determination. pic.twitter.com/Jz9h9lnBoe

Matt Berkey is a class act. There's a lot of training sites these days, with people trying to profit from quality products that make the games tougher.
Instead he made @SolveForWhyTV

Christian Soto never gives up. He may not have the talent, or the bankroll, or the heart, or good comebacks, or...
But he's still out here every day, trying his best. And that's something.

I actually have a lot of respect for @RealKidPoker. He's a man of his word.
Its one thing to talk about fucking the pros, its another to follow through ðŸ‘

Mike Postle taught me If you put your head down and work hard, you can achieve anything you set your mind too. Especially if your phone is in your lap. pic.twitter.com/uAD9SzxQ4z

Huge ICM spot
There was an insanely tough spot when satellite winner Padraig O'Neill won the Unibet Open Online Main Event last week which the Chip Race guys commented on in real time. Expect a detailed strategy video soon but until then, what is your calling range here?
The most interesting hand of the @unibetopen FINAL TABLE and one of the most interesting ICM spots you are likely to see, there is some quality real-time commentary on this one from @daraokearney.
FYI we are planning a @thechiprace strategy segment for this one. pic.twitter.com/YCIBGLoROo
