Arcusin Takes from Demetriou

Josh Noy

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Josue Choppy opened from the hijack to 1,600 and Micaela Arcusin made the call on his left. Darius Demetriou came along on the button, with Mark Wagstaff defending his big blind.

Wagstaff and Choppy checked the 7♥5♠J♠ flop, with Arcusin firing 3,000. Demetriou called, while Wagstaff and Choppy got out of the way.

Both players then checked the Q♣ turn before Arcusin led out for 4,000 on the 4♦ river. Demetriou called and shook his head as Arcusin showed A♠J♣ for a pair of jacks to take down the pot.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

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 18th episode, Connor speaks with author and psychologist Maria Konnikova about her family leaving Russia to come to the US, writing her first story in kindergarten, being mentored by Steven Pinker at Harvard, meeting Erik Seidel for the first time and her 2020 bestseller The Biggest Bluff that explored her poker journey.

Konnikova, a PokerStars ambassador, also talked about her research for an upcoming book into cheating in poker and other games, as well as game integrity rule changes implemented at EPT Barcelona that Konnikova said needed to go even further.

"I think what PokerStars has done is amazing. I think you need to go a step further and not have any electronics anywhere on the table," said Konnikova. "Like, I think phones need to be on the floor, in your bag."

"I would actually also ban sunglasses because ... there's so much technology that (that can enable cheating)."
