On the tail end of a 10♣5♥7♠4♠A♥ board, Griffin Casey check-raised to 20,000 and Justin Harvell eventually called.
"You are good, queen high," Casey announced and flashed his cards before they went into the muck. Harvell won the pot with A♠5♦ for aces and fives.
The board read A♣5♣K♠10♦4♦ on the river with a pot of close to 20,000 in it. Damian Salas was in the hijack and bet 14,400. Timothy Barany was in the big blind and after about 30 seconds elected to fold.
Salas added the pot to his stack which was grown by nearly double since the start of the day.
George Antonakos opened 1,700 in the cutoff and Petr Knopp came along from the big blind.
The dealer spread a flop of A♠Q♣4♠ and both players checked to the 3♣ turn. Knopp check-called a bet of 1,000 and the 9♦ fell on the river.
Both players tapped the table, and Knopp rolled K♦10♥ for king-high before Antonakos tabled 6♠6♣ to take down the pot.
The board showed 6♦4♦J♥J♣ with around 37,000 chips in the middle. Clifton Temm moved all in for roughly 10,000 from early position, and Nicholas Trionfo reluctantly made the call.
Temm turned over A♦K♦ for a rivered straight. That earned him the double up as Trionfo turned over K♣Q♣ for a pair of queens.
With around 50,000 already in the middle, Harry Lodge and Nirssan Sivalingam went heads-up to the turn with the board showing 5♠A♥4♠6♥.
Lodge checked in the small blind over to Sivalingam, who also checked on the button. The river was the 3♥ and Lodge led out for 7,000.
Sivalingam quickly called and Lodge showed A♣A♦ for top set to win the pot.
After a raise and a call from Brian Whiteman in the small blind, Nicholas Bond tossed in his final 13,800 from the big blind. The initial raiser had folded when Whiteman made the call.
Nicholas Bond: A♠5♠ 
Brian Whiteman: A♦10♠
Bond flopped two pair on 5♥8♦A♥ and won the pot when Whiteman did not improve on the Q♣2♥ runout.
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 11th episode, Connor speaks with Dan "Jungleman" Cates about accountability in poker, his notorious heads-up challenge with Tom Dwan, Game of Gold, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, mindfulness in poker and his new podcast Winning the Game of Life.
Cates also talked about his iconic Poker Players Championship outfits and a six-figure downswing he experienced at Bellagio during the summer.
This interview was filmed at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) inside Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
Terry Setters raised to 3,100 from under the gun, he was called by Alejandro Herrera in the hijack, and Laurie Tournier in the small blind.
The flop came 3♥2♥3♠ and Setters bet out 6,000. Herrera made the call, and Tournier folded.
After the 7♥ on the turn, Setters bet 10,200 before Herrera raised all in for 25,000. After quickly debating his decision, Setters made the call to put Herrera at risk.
Alejandro Herrera: J♥J♣
Terry Setters: A♥K♣
Herrera was ahead with his pocket jacks, but he would need to fade an ace, king, or heart to stay in the tournament. But he was unable to do so as the 8♥ hit on the river, to give Setters the nut flush, and knock Herrera out of the tournament.
