Jon Swift raised from under the gun for 2,500, and was called by Donovan Dean in early position, and the big blind.

Donovan Dean: 9♠8♣ 
Jon Swift: K♦Q♠
Swift was in front with his pair of queens, and when the board ran out J♥10♦ both players improved to a straight, but Swift had the king high straight to take the pot and eliminate Dean.

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 25th episode, Connor speaks with embattled poker pro Brad Booth about learning poker from his grandfather, climbing up stakes in Canada, living at the Bellagio and playing in Bobby's Room, bluffing Phil Ivey and getting cheated on Ultimate Bet.
Booth, who the poker community hasn't heard from for several years, opened up about his absence and going missing in 2020, as well as his gambling addiction and various poker debts to players like Doug Polk that he says he plans to make right.
"I got caught up in all of it and all I can try and do is make right now," he told PokerNews of his poker debts.
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 Brad Booth by heading to the PokerNews YouTube channel.

Action folded to Chris Moneymaker in middle position, and he raised to 2,500. It then folded to the small blind Mike Ward who three-bet to 6,100. It folded back to Moneymaker who made the call.
Moneymaker called a bet of 6,000 from Ward after the J♣Q♣2♦ flop, and a bet of 18,000 after the 4♠ hit the turn.
The river was the 3♠ and Ward moved all in, and Moneymaker quickly mucked, saying "Well I missed both draws". Ward showed A♠A♣ as he took in the pot.

Action was picked up on the flop with roughly 12,000 in the pot, and the board showing Q♥3♥5♠.
The big blind checked to Robert Thurman who bet out 5,000 from the small blind, which was called by Jason Tiffin in middle position. Then the player on the button raised all in for his stack of 34,500. Thurman gave it some thought before making the call, and Tiffin pondered his decision before showing the Q♣ as he mucked his hand, leaving the players heads up.
Button: 6♥4♥
Robert Thurman: 9♦9♣
Thurman got the best hand to fold but would need to fade the combo draw of his opponent to scoop the pot. The J♠ on the turn and Q♠ on the river were safe for Thurman, giving him the pot and eliminating his opponent.
