Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
The Simpsons is widely regarded as one of the most successful and beloved television shows of all time. But actress and high-stakes poker player Jennifer Tilly, who was married to Simpsons co-creator Sam Simon, tried to stop her ex-husband from making the iconic show.
Tilly, the star of the Chucky franchise and a recent guest on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, revealed her skepticism about Simon pursuing the cartoon in a new episode of the PokerNews Life Outside Poker podcast.
"I remember us trying to keep Sam from doing it because he had been offered his own deal, multi-million-dollar deal, at Hollywood Pictures, which was at the time very trendy," Tilly told PokerNews. "And I said, 'Sam, don't you want to be your own person and do your own shows?'"

Three ways to a flop of 10♠3♥10♦ and Santiago Garza started with a check, Cagdas Ersoy followed suit.
Benjamin Williams pushed out a bet of 60,000 and Garza raised to 165,000. Only Williams called.
The turn brought the 9♥ and Williams checked. Garza bet 275,000 and Williams made a pained fold.
"I folded a monster... will you tell me if I tell you?"
Garza agreed.
"I folded jacks..."
"I had a ten."
"Yeah... I couldn't think of any bluffs. Maybe king-jack of hearts..."
Cagdas Ersoy was seen exiting the tournament area shortly after this hand.

On a board of 3♦8♣A♦6♠ and a pot of around 500,000, Alex James bet 200,000 in middle position and got called by Dennys Ramos in cutoff.
The river 2♥ prompted James to fire out 300,000 which made Ramos think for a few seconds before making a one-chip call.
Ramos mucked his hand when James tabled 8♥8♦ for a set on the flop.
As James scooped the pot, he went, "Dennys, I forgot to tell you. I own a tour bus company and I will take you to every street," evoking chuckles all around the table.
