Nicholas Seward limped the small blind with J♥10♠, and David Coleman checked his option with 6♠6♣.

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.
Konstantyn Holskyi opened 1,000,000 on the button with A♦3♥, and Nikolaos Angelou defended the big blind, holding 8♣5♣.
The dealer spread a flop of J♠8♦8♥, and Angelou check-called a bet of 500,000 from Holskyi.
Both players tapped the table on the 9♣ turn, and the 6♠ landed on the river.
Angelou took a few moments on the river before deciding to move all-in for 3,005,000, and Holskyi pushed his cards across the line as he surrendered the pot.
David Coleman, on the button, asked Konstantyn Holskyi in the big blind how many chips he had left after checking his own cards. Once Holskyi counted and informed him, Coleman went all in, covering the remaining players. Holskyi folded, but Akinobu Maeda quickly glanced at his cards and decided to call all in with 3,700,000.
Akinobu Maeda: A♣Q♥
David Coleman: 9♠3♠
Coleman needed significant help from the board. The flop came 8♣7♠2♥, offering no assistance.
The 10♦ on the turn gave Coleman a glimmer of hope with a straight draw.
However, the Q♦ on the river gave Maeda top pair, securing his double-up.
Nikolaos Angelou shoved for 3,600,000 in the cutoff and David Coleman moved all-in from the small blind.
Nikolaos Angelou: A♣K♠
David Coleman: 5♥5♦
It was a classic race and the A♠Q♦3♠ flop gave Angelou a pair of aces to take the lead. The 9♣ turn and 2♥ river changed nothing, sending the double to Angelou.
Nikolaos Angelou initiated the action from the small blind with a raise to 1,000,000 holding 10♠7♠, and Nicholas Seward called from the big blind with 10♥9♦.
The flop came 10♦7♥3♥, giving Angelou two pair and Seward top pair. Angelou bet 600,000, and Seward called.
The J♣ on the turn provided Seward with a straight draw. Angelou continued with a bet of 1,200,000, and Seward called again.
The river brought the 8♦, completing Seward's straight. Angelou checked, and Seward moved all in. With his tournament life at risk, Angelou decided to fold, and Seward claimed the pot.
David Coleman opened 6,800,000 and Nikolaos Angelou called off his 3,400,000 in the big blind.
Nikolaos Angelou: A♦K♠
David Coleman: A♣5♥
It was a great situation for Angelou as the A♥Q♦Q♣ flop hit the felt, leaving Coleman drawing thin. The 6♦ landed on the turn, and the 7♠ completed the board on the river for Angelou to secure the double.
David Coleman raised to 900,000 from the button, and Akinobu Maeda, sitting in the big blind, went all in for 1,900,000. Coleman called.
Akinobu Maeda: A♣8♦
David Coleman: 10♦7♥
The board ran out 9♠5♥6♠9♥2♦, giving Maeda the double-up.
Stephen Buell shoved for 3,200,000 and Nicholas Seward three-bet jammed all-in as well, forcing the rest of the table out of the pot and both hands were tabled.
Stephen Buell: 4♣4♠
Nicholas Seward: J♦J♣
Buell was dominated and was unable to find one of the remaining fours as the board ran out K♣Q♥2♦6♣8♣, sending him home in 6th place.
The cards are officially in the air as the final six battle for the first-place prize of $516,135 and the World Series of Poker gold bracelet in Event #31: $3,000 6-Handed No-Limit Hold'em.
