Clip: Only Friends Podcast #723, starting at the used segment. The same clip is also posted as a YouTube Short and a Facebook Reel.
Quick answer: On Only Friends Podcast #723, one host asks another whether he once gave somebody a hard time "about um chopping with ace king versus ace king suited." The story that follows is told as an anecdote, not as a named accusation. A "very well-known individual," the narrator says, got all in with ace-king offsuit against a player he identifies as Landy, "Chris Z's wife," who showed ace-king of hearts. The well-known player, in this telling, said, "I have ace king, too. Let's chop it up." The narrator says he caught a flash of "black and red," insisted they run the hand, and puts the pot at "like a 50k pot." They "ended up running it once and and chopping anyway." The used clip never names the well-known player.
The official YouTube title, for a stream dated November 12, 2026, is Locked Out of Vegas' Biggest Games | Only Friends #723. The show's credits are Matt Berkey, Landon Tice, and Sam Laskowitz. The auto-captions do not reliably label which host is speaking, and this article does not guess.
Just after the opening question, and just outside the used cut, the narrator says, "This happened in Bobby's room." That location is in the fuller episode, and in the Short description, but it is not spoken in the Short itself.
"I have ace king, too"
The narrator places the other player first. The all-in, he says, was "versus it was Landy, which is Chris Z's wife, but at the time I just thought she was like I had no idea who she was. I thought she was just a recreational." The Short does not give Landy or Chris Z a last name, and this article does not add one.
"She gets it all in for this person and shows ace king of hearts." The other person, he says, answers, "I have ace king, too. Let's chop it up. Let's chop it up."
The narrator is not willing to take that on trust. "No, you got to show your hand. Like, we're not just going to believe you have ace king."
A flash of black and red
What he describes next is the part that made him step in. The well-known player "goes to table his hand really quickly. Like, he flashes it to her." The narrator says, "I catch that it's black and red."
"What are you doing?" he says he asked. He tells the other player the hand is offsuit: "You have to run it. Pick once or twice. Pick right now. Once or twice." (The auto-captions render "offsuit" as "offuit," which is not quoted here as if it were the wording.)
The other player's reply, as he tells it, is to tell him to stay out of it. "You stay out of my business." Then, in the narrator's summary: "Blah blah blah. She wants to chop. we're gonna show. It's like a 50k pot, you know?"
He says he would not let it go. "There's no world that I'm going to let this fly because like I think I'm protecting a VIP." Landy, in his account, was unbothered. "She's like, whatever." He says she was ready to chop the pot. (The auto-captions render that as "chop the putt.")
They ran it once anyway
The ending is quieter than the argument. "Eventually they ended up running it once and and chopping anyway."
The used clip stops there. It does not say who won a side, what the board was, or how the money was divided after they ran it once. The well-known player is never named, in the Short or in this article.
This is one person's story on a poker podcast about a table dispute. It is presented here as his account, not as a finding that anyone cheated.

No. The narrator calls him "a very well-known individual" and does not name him. This article does not either.
Who was the other player, in his telling?
He identifies her as Landy, "Chris Z's wife." He says that at the time he did not know who she was and thought she was "just a recreational." She showed ace-king of hearts.
What was the problem with the proposed chop?
In his account, ace-king offsuit is not the same hand as ace-king of hearts, and the well-known player only flashed the cards. The narrator says he saw "black and red" and insisted they run the hand, "once or twice."
What happened in the end?
He says they "ended up running it once and and chopping anyway." The clip does not describe the runout.
