On a board of 8♥3♦Q♣10♠9♥, all of the chips were in the middle postflop in a pot between Andre Akkari and Matthew Zambanini.
Akkari had tabled J♥10♣ for a straight, and Zambanini's cards went into the muck face down.

On a board of 7♥5♣A♠2♠ there were around 50,000 chips in the pot when Nithin Eapen had bet 10,000. Jessica Teusl then raised to 33,000, and after some time thinking, Eapen shoved all in for around 150,000. Teusl called at lightning speed.
Nithin Eapen: A♥10♠
Jessica Teusl: 7♦7♠
Eapen was drawing dead to Teusl's flopped set as a meaningless 8♦ completed the board which meant he was eliminated, and Teusl's stack climbed to over 400,000 chips.

The players are heading on a 25-minute break, slightly more than the scheduled 15-minute break, so that the 500 chips can be colored up.
Life Outside Poker is a new podcast for PokerNews hosted by Connor Richards that seeks to pull back the curtain on poker players and allow viewers and listeners to get to know them on a personal level.
In the eighth episode, Connor speaks with legendary UFC ring announcer Bruce Buffer in an exclusive in-depth interview after Buffer's deep run in the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) $50,000 High Roller. Buffer, a longtime poker player, finished in eighth place for a career-best $212,423 after kicking off Day 3 with his trademark "it's time" introduction.
Buffer talked about finding his long-lost half-brother, Michael Buffer, and becoming his manager, the early days of the UFC, the similarities between poker and martial arts, his relationships with Joe Rogan and Dana White, playing poker with Tobey Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio and the time he injured himself in a poker tournament before announcing the biggest UFC fight in history.
The Life Outside Poker podcast is available on major streaming platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and iHeartRadio. You can also watch the interview with Bruce Buffer by heading to the PokerNews YouTube channel.
The early position player opened to 5,000 and Brian Barker called from the cutoff. Philip Clarke also called from the big blind.
On the 2♣9♠8♦ flop, it checked to Barker who bet 6,000, and only the early position player called.
Both checked the 4♥ turn to see the Q♥ fall on the river. Once it checked to Barker, he bet 50,000, which was enough to put his opponent all-in. After some time, the early position player folded.

The cutoff opened and Yanfeng Wang three-bet from the button to 15,500. When it got back to the cutoff, he shoved for over 80,000, and Wang called.
Cutoff: A♥2♥
Yanfeng Wang: A♣K♥
Wang's hand held up as the runout of 8♠8♥Q♦3♦10♦ earned him the pot.

The cutoff opened to 5,500, and he was called by Adam Friedman and Kenn Pluard, both in the blinds.
All three of them checked a flop of Q♦8♣5♥ leading to the 3♦ turn where Friedman in the small blind led out for 7,000. He was called by Pluard and by the cutoff.
The Q♠ river brought no more action and Friedman flipped over 6♥6♦ for two pair. Thanks to this hand, he scooped the pot as his two opponents sent their cards into the muck.
