Use, who was in the small blind, checked, and Chew fired a 160,000 bet. Use took a brief moment to study the board and his opponent, and then called.
The dealer placed 5♣ on the turn, and Use checked. Chew sized up to 180,000, which received a call.
The river brought fireworks after J♦ appeared.
Use checked, and Chew took a few seconds before announcing an all-in bet for his remaining stack. Use, who covered his opponent, snap called to put Chew at risk and the cards were tabled.
Stevan Chew: Q♣Q♥ 
Miguel Use: A♠5♠
Use’s trip fives took the hand and sent Chew packing.

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.
Action was caught on the turn with the board K♣4♣Q♣A♣. Johan 'YoH ViraL' Guilbert bet 75,000 into a pot of over 400,000 chips, leaving himself with only 250,000 behind. Brett Apter called.
The river brought a fifth club, the 5♣, and now Guilbert bet all but one chip, 245,000. Apter thought for a long time and then folded. He made a comment to Guilbert prompting him to reveal something about his hand, and Guilbert replied: "One-one," followed by: "I had a flush."

Juha Helppi raised to 60,000 from middle position. Romain Lewis made the call from the hijack, the big blind also made the call.
The flop came 10♥10♦J♣, action checked to Helppi who bet 65,000. Lewis made the call and the big blind folded.
The turn was the 2♠, Helppi checked, Lewis bet 115,000 and Helppi called.
The river was the 9♣, Helppi once again checked. Lewis slid out a stack of blue chips that would put Helppi all in and at risk. Helppi thought about his decision long and hard and looked to have a pained expression on his face. Eventually Helppi made the fold. He commented that it was a good bluff hoping Lewis would show. Lewis did not oblige and tossed his cards in the muck.
