Shundan Xiao opened to 600,000 from the hijack with the A?K? and Joe Serock defended his big blind with the 10?8?. Serock led out for 425,000 on the 7?6?4? flop and was called. The board paired with the 7? turn and Serock sized up to 1,400,000 and was called once more.
The K? completed the board, and with 5,300,000 in the pot, action checked through to showdown. Xiao tabled a pair of kings, which was good enough to take the pot.

Luis Vazquez opened to 625,000 from the cutoff and then called after Julio Trimmer three-bet jammed for 3,875,000 out of the big blind.
Julio Trimmer: A?5?
Luis Vazquez: K?Q?
Trimmer was marginally ahead and saw a clean flop of 8?2?7? spread on the felt. The Q? turn, however, was a dagger that left the at risk player needing some help from Barry Greenstein on the river to survive. It did not come as the 9? completed the board instead to condemn Trimmer to a 44th place finish.

Arthur Morris opened to 600,000 in middle position and Diogo Coelho three-bet to 1,850,000 in the small blind. Nick Jivkov had just 200,000 behind and moved all in from the big blind, while Morris called.
The flop of 8?9?J? checked through and the same action took place on the K? turn and Q? river. Coelho showed A?9? for a pair of nines, which was good to beat the 8?2? of Jivkov and the 5?5? of Morris as Jivkov hit the rail in 43rd place.

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 11th episode, Connor speaks with Dan "Jungleman" Cates about accountability in poker, his notorious heads-up challenge with Tom Dwan, Game of Gold, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, mindfulness in poker and his new podcast Winning the Game of Life.
Cates also talked about his iconic Poker Players Championship outfits and a six-figure downswing he experienced at Bellagio during the summer.
This interview was filmed at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) inside Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
Jessie Bryant raised to 725,000 in the cutoff and was called by both players in the blinds including Guillermo Sanchez Otero and Rodrigo Garrido Portaleoni. The J?10?6? flop was checked to Bryant and he bet 1,500,000. Sanchez Otero folded while Garrido Portaleoni tank-called for nearly half of his short stack behind.
Garrido Portaleoni then jammed the A? turn for 1,875,000 and Bryant snap-called.
Rodrigo Garrido Portaleoni: Q?7?
Jessie Bryant: A?10?
Garrido Portaleoni had a gutshot and flush draw, the latter of which came thanks to the 2? on the river.
