Level 6
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 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 21st episode, Connor speaks with Survivor legend Boston Rob, aka Rob Mariano, about growing up near Fenway Park, learning poker at the age of 6, studying psychology at Boston University, applying for Survivor and winning Season 22, his recent appearance on Deal or No Deal Island and filming an upcoming season of The Traitors.
Boston Rob also revealed a story about Costa Rican authorities raiding a mansion known to host high-stakes poker games during a 2006 filming that included Daniel Negreanu, Josh Arieh, David Williams, Michael Mizrachi and actress Cheryl Hines.
"(Gambling mogul) Calvin (Ayre) had a big party at the house, and they came in guns drawn," he said. "And we were fine, but we all had to stay at the party until they checked our passports and everything. I think it was a little bit of a shakedown. But we had a good weekend."
The Life Outside Poker podcast is available on major streaming platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, SoundCloud and iHeartRadio. You can also watch the interview with Boston Rob by heading to the PokerNews YouTube channel.

The 7 players of the €12,300 Cuatro Knockout are on a 15-minute break.
Level 6
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Yauheni Tsiareshchanka opened to 4,000 from the button, but Viacheslav Buldygin in the big blind three-bet to 15,500. Tsiareshchanka made the call.
Buldygin checked the 4♦7♠3♣ flop, then called after Tsiareshchanka bet 8,500.
The 10♦ turn was checked by both players, and the 7♥ river didn't bring more action. Buldygin immediately flipped over 6♠5♠ for a flopped straight, which made his opponents laugh.
Level 6
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Viacheslav Buldygin on the button raised to 6,000, then called after Artsiom Lasouski to his left three-bet to 17,000.
Both players checked all the way through a board of J♠9♦K♦J♦, but Lasouski bet 16,000 on the 2♦ river. Buldygin went into the tank, and raised to 66,000.
Lasouski seemed to face a tough decision. He used a time bank extension and eventually folded.
A few hands later, Espen Jorstad ran into Buldygin's aces and was sent to the rail.

In the 867th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, sponsored by the free-to-play WSOP App, Chad Holloway, Kyna England, and Mike Holtz are at Level 9 Studio to discuss the "controversy" of Doug Polk making the final table of his own poker tournament down at The Lodge in Austin, Texas. Should a poker operator be allowed to play in their own event? That seemed to be the question of the week in the poker world.
The crew then played "Race the Ace" to determine a winner in ourgiveaway for a seat into the ClubWPT Gold $5,000,000 Freeroll Invitational (the answer to how many engraved plates are on the WPT Mike Sexton Champion's Cup was 374)! From there, it is a look at Maria Ho winning the Celebrity Poker Tour (CPT) 2024 Championship and Chad got to meet Impractical Jokers Brian "Q" Quinn and Joe Gatto, Sketch, and Vegas Matt.
Speaking of fun events, find out who won the Global Poker Table Talk event during Formula 1 featuring Antonio Esfandiari, Michael Phelps, Carlos Sainz, and Charles Leclerc, and then get a behind-the-scenes look at the Big Deal for One Drop, which both Chad and Connor Richards attended. They caught up with Phil Hellmuth and even interviewed Jennifer Tilly.
Kyna then shares highlights from her trip to England for the PokerStars Women's Winter Festival. Then things wrap with a look at the upcoming Bar Poker Open taking place in Florida from Dec. 6-8 (Norman Chad will be there to do commentary)!
The podcast is sponsored by the #1 free-to-play WSOP app. Remember to use bonus code "POKERNEWS" if you download and play for an extra 1,000,000 in chips!

Level 5
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Yauheni Tsiareshchanka opened to 4,000 from the button but Niklas Astedt in the small blind three-bet to 16,000. The big blind quickly folded, and so did Tsiareshchanka.
On the following hand, Astedt raised to 4,000 from the button. Artsiom Lasouski in the big blind called, but both players checked the 8♠4♦Q♦ flop and the 2♥ turn.
The J♥ completed the board and Lasouski checked one more time. Astedt took this opportunity to bet 4,000. Lasouski seemed tempted, but folded.
Level 5
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Artsiom Lasouski raised to 4,000 from the button and faced Steve O'Dwyer, who defended from the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 7♠J♦A♦ where Lasouski continued for 7,000. O'Dwyer check-called, but both players checked the 8♥ turn.
O'Dwyer led out for 12,500 on the 7♥ river. It didn't take long for Lasouski to fold.
