Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Ole Schemion opened for 1,600 under the gun and Keani Fairbanks three-bet jammed for 9,500 from the cutoff.
Jorge Artiga Pacheco then moved all in over the top for 18,400 from the button, both blinds folded, and Schemion asked for a count.
"Gamble," he said before putting in the chips to call.
Keani Fairbanks: 6♦6♣
Jorge Artiga Pacheco: A♣Q♣
Ole Schemion: K♥Q♥
Fairbanks got it in good but fell behind on the 4♦J♥Q♠ flop. Neither the 8♦ turn nor J♠ river changed a thing and Pacheco's kicker played to win him the pot while Fairbanks exited the tournament.

In a blind versus blind battle and 26,800 in the middle the turn read 7♣7♠5♣6♣. Jovan Kenjic was seen in the tank after checking and being faced with an all-in jam of 17,900 from Carlos Sanchez.
After a long time, Kenjic decided on a call.
Carlos Sanchez: K♠K♦
Jovan Kenjic: A♥J♠
Kenjic wasn't correct this time as he ran into the kings of Sanchez and he wasn't able to find an ace as the board completed with the 8♣ on the river.

Four players brewed a pot of about 5,500 to see the 9♣9♠8♣ flop, and all four checked to see the K♠ turn. The action checked to Joshua Zucchet in the hijack and he fired 3,600 into the middle. Only Jason Velasco made the call from the big blind.
The 7♦ landed on the river and Velasco took the lead, blasting 12,000 across the line and Zucchet took a few moments before mucking his hand.

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.
