Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
PokerNews caught the action with about 7,600 already in the pot and the board reading K♦10♠4♠J♥. David Cabrera led with a bet of 4,000, but Fabian Gumz wasn't having it—he shoved all in for 16,000. After burning through three time bank cards, Cabrera opted to fold.
Curious about the hand, Gumz asked Cabrera what he had folded. Cabrera revealed he had jack-ten, to which Gumz responded with a hint of disbelief.
“Jack-ten? How could you fold that?”
Cabrera explained he didn’t think Gumz was bluffing much. Gumz simply nodded, “Good fold.”

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)."

With about 65,000 already in the pot and the board showing J♦K♣J♥2♦7♦, Imad Derwiche checked to Leonard Maue, who bet 36,400, leaving himself just 100 chips behind. Derwiche tossed his remaining time bank cards in the middle, clearly signaling the weight of his decision.
"Do you have a king?" he asked repeatedly. "Will you show if I fold?" he added, but Maue stayed quiet, only offering a faint smile.
After using all his time bank cards, Derwiche eventually folded, showing one king. Maue then revealed A♣Q♣ for a bluff, scooping the pot and leaving Derwiche stunned.

Tomas Jozonis opened to 2,000 under the gun and Aren Bezhanyan called from the small blind before Boris Angelov three-bet to 9,000 out of the big blind. Jozonis folded, but Bezhanyan called with around 25,000 behind.
Bezhanyan checked the 7♦10♣9♠ flop and Angelov shoved to put Bezhanyan all-in. Bezhanyan called for his last 25,000.
Aren Bezhanyan: A♥8♥ 
Boris Angelov: A♣K♦
Angelov's ace-high was ahead because of his kicker, but Bezhanyan did have a lot of outs. The A♦ turn followed by the 7♠ river gave Angelov the winner, and Bezhanyan was out.

Aylar Lie opened from early position to 2,100. Roman Stoica three-bet to 7,000 from the cutoff. Action folded around and Lie made the call.
She then check-called a bet of 4,500 on the flop of K♠5♥J♣. She check-called a bet of 7,000 on the 2♦ river. Lie checked a third time on the A♦ river. Stoica sized up to 16,500. Lie took most of her 30 seconds before folding.
