Three players saw the flop come down 8♦A♣K♠. Matt Livingston checked from the small blind and Nick Guagenti bet 12,500 from middle position. Paul Volpe folded from the hijack, but Livingston raised to put Guagenti all in for his last 50,000. Guagenti quickly called and the cards were revealed.
Nick Guagenti: A♦Q♦7♠3♠2♥
Matt Livingston: K♦K♥J♥7♦5♥
Guagenti's top pair was behind Livingston's set, but Guagenti did have a low draw working for him. However, the rest of the board came 9♥Q♠, and Guagenti was out.

Four players saw a flop of 9♣7♥4♦ when Jonathan Glendinning moved all in for 28,000 from the hijack. Matthew Woodward folded in the cutoff, as did Maksim Pisarenko in middle position, but Dan Heimiller in the big blind called to put Glendinning at risk.
Jonathan Glendinning: A♠10♣8♦3♥2♣
Dan Heimiller: A♣Q♦10♦6♥2♠
The board ran out K♦5♠ and Heimiller began to chop up the pot before the rest of the table informed him he had won the high with his ace, queen-kicker.
"He has no pair?" Heimiller asked, as he instead took three-quarters.

David Williams got his last 35,000 into the middle on a flop of A♦4♦9♣, with Ryan Conrad making the call to try and bust him.
David Williams: K♦J♦7♦5♦3♣
Ryan Conrad: A♠9♠7♠5♠2♦
Williams had a flush draw and straight draw against Conrad's top two pair. The 4♣ turn and 7♣ river didn't improve Williams to the winner as Conrad scooped holding two pair for the high, and a better seven-five low.
Williams immediately reentered and is now seated with a fresh stack of 60,000.

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.
Joseph Genova three-bet to 24,000 in the small blind and Andrew Yeh called under the gun.
The flop came 8♣3♥4♣ and Genova moved all in for 130,000. Yeh snap-called.
Joseph Genova: A♠5♠3♣2♣2♥
Andrew Yeh: A♣A♦8♦5♦4♦
Yeh was ahead with his aces, while Genova had straight and flush draws as well as the nut low. The Q♣ turn gave him his flush, while he secured the scoop on the J♠ river to double up.

James Chen made it 8,000 to go from under the gun with Ray Fishman calling on the button, and Dan Shak calling out of the small blind.
When it checked to Chen on the 5♣6♥K♥ flop, he bet 10,000, and only Fishman called.
The 6♠ dropped on the turn and Chen bet enough to put Fishman all in. Fishman had 55,000 left in his stack and after looking back at his cards, he opted to fold and surrender the pot to Chen.

David Williams was all in for 60,000 from under the gun as Elior Sion put him at risk in the hijack.
David Williams: A♠K♥10♣5♣2♦
Elior Sion: A♣A♦Q♠7♥3♣
Williams needed to improve against Sion's aces to stay alive as the flop came 9♣3♥2♠. The K♠ turn improved him to two pair, while he ended up with a full house after the K♣ completed the board on the river to earn the double up.
