Casey Sandretto: J♠6♠ 
Brody Self : K♥10♣

Erik Eisen: 9♦9♥
Sitbon was in trouble through the turn of the runout 8♣6♠5♥10♠, but was saved by the J♣on the river.
On a pot of around 70,000 and a flop of 5♥9♣10♦, Erik Eisen checked spurring Niall Duffy to bet 30,000 in the pot.
The turn 6♦ was checked by both players. On the river 10♣, Eisen decided to lead out with 275,000 which was enough to take the pot down.
Hongru Zhang opened on the button to 400,000 and got an all-in shove from small blind Fabian Gumz for 488,000. Brian Dennis in the big blind folded leaving the two players to head to showdown.
Fabian Gumz: A♣Q♦
Hongru Zhang: 9♥9♠

Life Outside Poker is a 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 29th episode, Connor talks with actress and high-stakes poker player Jennifer Tilly about the 20th anniversary of her World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet win, high-stakes cash games, the recent cancellation of Chucky, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, voicing Bonnie Swanson on Family Guy, dating poker pro Phil Laak, and her goal of getting into the Poker Hall of Fame.
Tilly also revealed that she tried to stop her ex-husband, Sam Simon, from creating The Simpsons and told the story of how she was nearly the voice of Marge Simpson.
There were roughly 100,000 chips in the pot on a board of 3♠3♦A♦. Stephen Graner bet 16,000 from under the gun when the 5♣ hit the turn. Michael Phillips made the call from the hijack.
Graner slowed down when the 7♠ was dealt on the river, and Phillips put Graner all in for his tournament life. Graner went deep into the tank before he folded.
Trevor Teehan went all in for his last 67,000 and Michael Mizrachi made the call to put him at risk.

Neil Warren: Q♥Q♠
Donald Manns: A♣Q♦
The board dropped an ace in the window, which left Warren drawing thin as the board ran out 5♠4♥A♥10♣J♠, and Mann's pair of aces was enough for the win.
