: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Michael Christ raised to 75,000 under the gun, and Todd Barlow in the cutoff called.
The players were heads-up, and the flop came 6♦A♥J♥ and Christ bet out 150,000, and Barlow made the call.
On the turn was the 6♥ and Christ bet out 450,000. Barlow announced all in for only 50,000 more, and Christ made the call.
Todd Barlow: A♣9♥5♥4♠2♦ 
Michael Christ: A♦J♠9♠7♠2♣
Barlow was in great shape with his flush versus Christ's top two pair, but when the river came the J♣ it improved Christ to a full house and eliminated Barlow.

Lucas Zwingmann-Gocht opened to 60,000 from the hijack before Filippos Stavrakis raised to 205,000 from the small blind. Zwingmann-Gocht made the call to see the 5♠3♣Q♣ flop.
Stavrakis announced pot and called once Zwingmann-Gocht moved all in for 795,000.
Lucas Zwingmann-Gocht: A♥6♥4♥2♣2♥
Filippos Stavrakis: A♣A♦K♣10♠6♦
Both players flopped a world of opportunity, but it was Zwingmann-Gocht who drilled the 7♦ turn to make a straight and the nut low. Stavrakis missed on the Q♥ river, allowing Zwingmann-Gocht to scoop and more than double his stack.

John Bunch opened to 75,000 from under the gun and Tom Koral called from the big blind.
The flop came K♥10♥8♠. Koral decided to lead for pot of 185,000, Bunch re-potted, and Koral called all-in for 585,000.
Tom Koral: A♠J♥9♦5♥2♥
John Bunch: A♥A♣Q♦6♥2♦
Bunch had Koral in rough shape with his aces and dominating flush draw, but Koral did have an open-ended straight draw. The board ran out 2♠J♠ and Bunch's aces were good enough to knock out Koral.

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.

Bradley Coultas: A♦8♦8♣5♦2♣
Matthew Bretzfield: A♠10♣8♠4♦2♥

John Bunch limped from early position before Jonathan Moschel committed most of his stack with a pot-sized raise. After asking for a count behind, Bunch put Moschel all in and the call was made.
Jonathan Moschel: A♠K♥10♥10♦2♥
John Bunch: A♣A♥J♠J♥10♠
Bunch's aces were in front until Moschel found the case ten on the 8♥10♠Q♣ flop. Moschel then dodged outs on the 6♥ turn and J♣ river to take the pot and double through Bunch.

Matt Vengrin: A♥Q♦6♥4♣2♦
John Bunch: A♣K♦7♣5♣3♦
