With around 50,000 in the middle on a flop of K♠8♠3♥, Franklin Hincapie check-raised from the big blind to 52,000, versus a bet of 16,000 from Karl Sandoff in early position. After some thought, Sandoff called.
The 6♠ turn was checked through to the 4♥ river, where Hincapie fired out a bet of 128,000.
After around 90 seconds of thought, Sandoff made the call, but mucked when Hincapie showed him 8♦3♦ for the flopped two pair.

A pot of 200,000 had developed on a completed board of 10♣10♥2♥2♠4♦, in a hand between Giacomo Beneforti in middle position and Gianluca Speranza in the big blind.
Speranza led out with a bet of 26,000, but was faced with a jam from Beneforti for around 540,000, who had the covering stack.
Speranza went into the tank, and the clock was called, and he ultimately folded.

Mykyta Andrusiak opened to 16,000 from the cutoff, and received customers from Henrik Veldhoen on the button and Raul Marmolejo in the big blind.
Action was checked to Andrusiak on the 7♦3♦3♥ flop, who fired out a bet of 17,000. Only Marmolejo called.
On the 10♦ turn, Marmalejo quickly check-folded in the face of a bet of 51,000 from Andrusiak.

A whoop of noise went up from Table 12 and phones were coming out, as Marciano Rodriguez had doubled through Andrii Hrilberh with a straight flush against quads.
Rodriguez held J♣8♣ and Andrii Hrilberh had 9♠9♦ on 10♣9♥6♣9♣7♣, Hrilberh turning quads and Rodriguez binking a two-outer on the river.
Rodriguez jammed for 420,000 on the river and unsurprisingly had a customer in an epic cooler.

Life Outside Poker is a 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 29th episode, Connor talks with actress and high-stakes poker player Jennifer Tilly about the 20th anniversary of her World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet win, high-stakes cash games, the recent cancellation of Chucky, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, voicing Bonnie Swanson on Family Guy, dating poker pro Phil Laak, and her goal of getting into the Poker Hall of Fame.
Tilly also revealed that she tried to stop her ex-husband, Sam Simon, from creating The Simpsons and told the story of how she was nearly the voice of Marge Simpson.
