Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Renzo Holling opened to 5,000 from early position, and Angelo Vietti defended the big blind.
On the A♥5♦3♥ flop, Vietti check-called a bet of 7,500 from Holling.
On the 2♥ turn, Vietti led out with a bet of 9,500, and snap-folded in the face of a jam from Holling with the covering stack.
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
A player opened under the gun and received a call from early position, before Jose Casillas three-bet jammed for around 54,000 from middle position.
Terje Bremseth was on the button, and he rejammed for around 80,000. Richard Burke was in the big blind, and he took a peek at his cards, before calmly moving his covering stack into the middle with the cold five-bet. Unsurprisingly, the original opener and caller got out of the way.
Jose Casillas: A♣10♥ 
Terje Bremseth: K♣J♦
Richard Burke: K♥K♠
Burke's cowboys were in great shape, but the Q♦10♠3♣ flop spelt danger, Bremseth picking up a wrap draw, Burke grimacing as he saw the board.
The 6♠ turn was a brick, but the 9♦ rolled off on the river to give Bremseth the pot with the straight, bust Casillas, and earn a near triple-up.
"Just lost a 300k pot with kings", Burke reported to a friend at another table, shaking his head.

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 34th episode, Connor talks with WSOP free-to-play app ambassador Sam Abernathy about growing up in Georgia, studying design, the similarities between gymnastics and poker, finishing third in the 2016 Aussie Millions Main Event, and a notorious slow roll she suffered in that event.
Abernathy also talks about first getting into poker through the WSOP Play app before becoming an ambassador years later, motherhood and being married to fellow poker player Lautaro Guerra, who finished 15th in this year's WSOP Main Event for $450,000.

Level 8
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Mark Vella opened to 3,000 under the gun, and received a call from Francesco Squillaci in the big blind.
On the A♦K♠8♠ flop, Squillaci check-called in the face of a bet of 2,500 from Vella.
The A♠ hit on the turn, pairing the board and bringing in flush possibilities, and Squillaci check-folded versus a double-barrel of 8,000 from Vella.
Level 8
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Philip Pearson opened from middle position and Alessandro D'Amore defended the big blind.
D'Amore check-called bets of 3,000 and 7,000 on the A♦K♠9♠ flop and 4♣ turn respectively, leading to the K♣ river.
D'Amore checked once more, but Pearson shut down and checked behind. D'Amore tabled 9♣8♣ for a pair of nines, and Pearson mucked.
