PokerGO’s new show Cash Flow debuted on March 13 and the fireworks have already been going off. That included some interesting runouts and icy cold coolers on the most recent episode.
“With a wild and wacky group led by the hosts of the Table 1 Podcast, Justin Young and Art Parmann, Cash Flow plans to deliver non-stop action, untamed personalities, and high-stakes drama,” PokerGO noted in announcing the new show. “Keeping with the unpredictable nature of the show, Cash Flow will air ‘live on delay’ with minimal, if any, editing, and each airing will offer several hours of entertainment.”
Other players on the stream have included Ethan “Rampage” Yau, Sashimi Poker, “Rips”, and Paul Gunness.
With $100/$100 blinds, one key hand in the first episode saw five players see a flop of 108
3
.
Phil Sham checked with 97
and Parmann bet $1,600 with 10
8
and top two pair. Young called with J
9
and an open-end straight draw. Sham also called with an open-end straight draw of his own, bringing in the pot to $6,500.
At this point, Parmann was a 51% favorite to win the hand, according to the Card Player Poker Odds Calculator, with Young at 25% and Sham at 22%.
The turn brought the 7, handing Young his straight. Parmann bet $10,000 to put Young all in and he quickly made the call, now as an 83% favorite. Sham thought a bit and eventually folded. Parmann had just a 9% chance to win the hand if one of the remaining eights or 10s hit the board to make a full house.
Both players agreed to run the river only once and that indeed produced the 10, handing Parmann a full house and $24,700 pot.
Another hand saw Shawn Madden hit a set with pocket jacks and Blake Vogdes’s A10
find a flush and royal flush draw on a flop of Q
J
2
. Madden checked and Vogdes bet $1,200. Madden check-raised to $7,000. Vogdes thought about his options and eventually called to bring the pot to $18,000.
Vogdes was a 67% favorite to win the hand, but Madden could still catch a deuce or queen for a full house or even the remaining jack in the deck for four of a kind. The turn brought the A and Madden moved the last of his $11,400 in and Vogdes snap-called as an 80% favorite with the pot at $41,400.
The two decided to run the river twice and the first brought the 9, giving Vogdes the first half of the pot. The second river was the 10
and Vogdes took the entire pot.

Cash Flow brings together a mix of poker pros and amateurs.
