Level 8
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
The action was caught as Daniel Negreanu, on the button, was all in and at risk for his remaining 620,000, against Orpen Kisacikoglu, in the big blind.
Daniel Negreanu: K♥K♣ 
Orpen Kisacikoglu: A♠Q♦
The 9♣Q♠9♠ flop gave Kisacikoglu additional outs, however, the K♦ turn had Kisacikoglu drawing dead. Just for good measure, the dealer placed the K♠ on the river to give Negreanu quad kings, doubling him up.

: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Seth Davies raised to 38,000 from middle position, Jonathan Jaffe three-bet to 110,000 from the hijack and Mikita Badziakouski cold four-bet to 260,000, from the big blind.
Davies got out of the way and Jaffe went into the tank. After some time, Jaffe put in a five-bet to 560,000 and Badziakouski made a swift fold.
Despite Danny Tang repeatedly asking Jaffe to show, his cards hit the muck and he claimed this pot without a showdown.

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 eighth episode, Connor speaks with legendary UFC ring announcer Bruce Buffer in an exclusive in-depth interview after Buffer's deep run in the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) $50,000 High Roller. Buffer, a longtime poker player, finished in eighth place for a career-best $212,423 after kicking off Day 3 with his trademark "it's time" introduction.
Buffer talked about finding his long-lost half-brother, Michael Buffer, and becoming his manager, the early days of the UFC, the similarities between poker and martial arts, his relationships with Joe Rogan and Dana White, playing poker with Tobey Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio and the time he injured himself in a poker tournament before announcing the biggest UFC fight in history.
The Life Outside Poker podcast is available on major streaming platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and iHeartRadio. You can also watch the interview with Bruce Buffer by heading to the PokerNews YouTube channel.

What Else is Happening at the WSOP?
- Both Phil Ivey and Daniel Negreanu are deep in the $10,000 Razz Championship where Brandon Shack-Harris leads.
- Chris Hunichen took down the $100,000 High Roller for his first bracelet and over $2.8 million in prize money.
- The $5,000 NLHE 6-Handed field is so stacked that it would not look out of place in a $50K buy-in event!
