Level 3
: Blinds 200/300, 500 ante
The player under the gun raised to 600 and the button three-bet to 1,800. Naoya Kihara then four-bet to 6,300 in the big blind, which only the button called.
Kihara drew one before his opponent stood pat. Kihara looked at his new card and promptly jammed all in, covering the 14,000 chips the button had remaining.
The button spent a good while in the tank, trying to get information out of Kihara. However, eventually he released his cards as the pot was shipped to Kihara.
Meanwhile, Jon Turner was seen entering the tournament area looking for his seat.

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.

Yuri Dzivielevski had just sat down for his first hand after he registered and opened the cutoff to 700, which both blinds called.
The small blind drew one, the big blind drew three, and Dzivielevski took one.
The action checked to Dzivielevski who bet 3,500 into a pot of 2,600. The small blind tossed in the call and Dzivielevski tabled 9x8x5x3x2x which was good to drag a sizeable pot on his first hand.

With around 3,000 chips in the middle, Todd Brunson drew one card in the small blind before the player in the big blind drew two cards. Shaun Deeb also drew two cards under the gun, after which Brunson led out for 1,400 chips.
The big blind quickly folded, but Deeb tossed in a raise to 8,000. Brunson gave it some thought, but eventually folded. Deeb showed PokerNews 7x5x4x3x2x for the stone-cold nuts before tossing the cards in the muck.
Recent bracelet winner Patrick Moulder was also spotted sitting at this table.
