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)."
Players have been sent on a 30-minute dinner break.
Action will resume at 5:45 p.m. local time.
Dave Brady was all in and at risk against Keith Hoang, with the cards on their backs.
Dave Brady: A♥Q♠
Keith Hoang: K♠K♦
Hoang found a set on the 4♠K♥6♠ flop, holding through the 10♦ turn and A♦ river to knock out Brady.
888poker Ambassador Lucia Navarro was among other recent eliminations before the dinner break.
