: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Life Outside Poker w/ Connor Richards is a new podcast for PokerNews that focuses on poker players with successful careers and lives outside of poker.
For the third episode, Connor spoke with high-stakes poker player, politician and entrepreneur Antanas "Tony G" Guoga. In the interview, Tony G spoke about growing up in Lithuania, founding PokerNews in the early 2000s, getting into European politics later in life and his favorite televised poker moments.
He also opened up about clashing with players like Phil Hellmuth in televised games and even issued a heads-up challenge to the Poker Brat. Will Hellmuth take him on, or is he, like Tony G said, "afraid to ever play me again?"
The Life Outside Poker podcast is available on major streaming platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and iHeartRadio. You can also watch the interview with Tony G by heading to the PokerNews YouTube channel.

23,000 was already in the middle on a completed board of K♠10♥4♥3♠J♥ in a hand between Andrii Nikitin and Milos Skrbic.

Skrbic showed Q♠6♠ for queen-high, while Nikitin had K♦J♦ for two pair, sending him the pot.
Skrbic actually left the table thinking he was eliminated but his tablemates called him back when it became apparent he had slightly more than his opponent.
