Antoine Hasbani kicked off the action from early position with a raise to 6,500, attracting calls from Samuel Ju in the cutoff and another player on the button. With too many players in the mix for his liking, Brandon Shiels opted to make a hefty three-bet to 36,500. Both Hasbani and Ju decided to call.
The flop came Q♥K♥6♦, prompting all three players to check through.
As the 7♠ hit the turn, action checked to Ju, who fired a bet of 40,000, which Shiels called.
The river card, Q♣, hinted at potential further action, but both players opted to check it down. Shiels then revealed K♣3♣, while Ju's cards found their way into the muck.

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.

: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Pavel Frolov opened 5,000 under the gun, and Assad Kamran three-bet jammed for 45,500 from the cutoff. The action folded back around to Frolov who went into the tank for just under a minute before making the call.
Assad Kamran: 6♠6♦ 
Pavel Frolov: A♦J♠
They were off to the race, and the A♠10♠3♥ flop put Frolov way out in front with a pair of aces. Kamran was unable to find one of the remaining sixes in the deck as the dealer completed the board with the 9♦ turn, and Q♣ river.

The action began with Nikita Kuznetcov, who opened with a raise from under the gun to 15,000 chips, and Hassan Nashar called from the big blind without looking at his cards.
The flop came 4♣8♠4♥ and was checked through.
On the turn 4♦, Nashar, having now seen his cards, check-called Kuznetcov's bet of 15,000 chips.
As the river revealed K♥, Nashar made a hefty bet of 100,000 chips, prompting Kuznetcov to fold.
