Action went four-ways to a flop of K♠K♦J♥ in a limped pot. It checked over to Ernest Essad in the cutoff who bet 175,000 and only Florian Ribouchon called in the small blind.
The 8♣ turn went check-check, bringing the 10♦ river. Ribouchon checked and Essad fired out a bet of 275,000.
Ribouchon thought for a moment before giving up his hand.
James Cheung raised from under the gun to 125,000. Robert Cowen called from the cutoff, and Ernest Essad also made the call from the button, and everyone else got out of the way.
The flop came down with Q♥6♥J♦ and everyone checked.
On the turn 7♥, Qibang Cheung placed a delayed continuation-bet of 175,000, and Cowen went into the think tank and popped it up to 600,000 with authority. Everyone folded, and Cowen scooped a nice pot.
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.
With Ernest Essad applying the pressure, the game was getting tight for Eric Buchman. He was down to less than 200,000 chips and to call Essad's latest bet and lost the hand he would be out of the tournament.
He folded.
The very next hand, he got it all in against James Cheung.
Eric Buchman: J♠J♦10♦6♠
James Cheung: A♥7♣6♥5♠
Buchman hit a set of jacks on the flop and after the full board runout 4♠A♣J♥2♥7♦, that was still the best hand. And Buchman had new life.
Level: 25
Blinds: 25,000/50,000
Ante: 50,000
Casey Brown limped from under the gun and the small blind, Dylan Weisman called, while the big blind, Kyle Rosnes, checked. The flop came out with 4♣5♠4♦, and Rosnes led out for a bet of 80,000. Weisman folded, and Brown called.
On the turn 10♦, Rosnes kept up the aggression and bet out 100,000, and received the call.
The river J♣ had Rosnes lead again for 285,000, and Brown pondered and then made the call.
Rosnes showed J♥9♣4♠3♣ for the full house and the win.

Action went three-ways to a flop of 5♥8♥9♦ in a hand between Casey Brown in the hijack, Julian Velador in the small blind, and James Cheung in the big blind.
Velador checked, Cheung bet 250,000 and Brown made it 625,000 to go. Velador made the call for 600,000 to put himself at risk, and Cheung called, creating a small side pot.
On the 4♥ turn, Cheung checked and Brown moved all in to put Cheung at risk. Cheung thought for a moment before giving up his hand.
Julian Velador: K♦J♠10♦7♠
Casey Brown: K♥8♣7♦6♥
Brownn had turned a flush leaving Velador drawing dead and the meaningless 5♦ rolled off on the river.
The action started before any cards were shown, Florian Ribouchon bet 100,000 from the cutoff and Luteng Li called from the big blind position.
For the first three streets the players saw K♣K♠4♣. Li checked to Ribouchon threw out a bet of 75,000. Li made the call.
A turn card hit J♦ Li checked and Ribouchon bet 150,000. Li tanked for a short moment but cut out the call from his decreasing chip stack and threw it into the pot.
A seemingly harmless river of Q♥ peeled off on the river and Li checked again, Ribouchon moved all in and after a minute Yu made the call.
Luteng Li :A♣J♣J♠2♠
Florian Ribouchon : K♥J♥9♥9♠
The story unfolded on the turn where Florian Ribouchon spiked a full house kings over jacks making Lu's jacks full no good. Good run for Lu as he made his away to the payout desk,
