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 34th episode, Connor talks with WSOP free-to-play app ambassador Sam Abernathy about growing up in Georgia, studying design, the similarities between gymnastics and poker, finishing third in the 2016 Aussie Millions Main Event, and a notorious slow roll she suffered in that event.
Abernathy also talks about first getting into poker through the WSOP Play app before becoming an ambassador years later, motherhood and being married to fellow poker player Lautaro Guerra, who finished 15th in this year's WSOP Main Event for $450,000.

Daniel Pidun raised to 180,000 under the gun and Jonas Lauck called in early position. Artem Kobylynskyi then three-bet to 660,000 in middle position and Pidun moved all in. Lauck folded, but Kobylynskyi called for 1,165,000.
Artem Kobylynskyi: A♦A♣
Daniel Pidun: 9♠9♣
Kobylynskyi had picked up aces and was a big favorite to double up as the A♠6♣2♦ flop improved him to top set. The 2♥ turn gave him a full house, while the river was the 2♣ and he doubled up.

The 7♦ completed the board and Neugebauer checked. Pidun bet 325,000, and after giving it some thought, Neugebauer called.
Pidun showed the winner with 6♠6♥ for a pair of sixes as Neugebauer mucked A♥6♦ for ace-high.

"Do you want to bet that you want last an orbit? €1,000,000. Put some money on the table," Martin Kabrhel told Ivan Banic, who offered to shake his hand and make the bet.
"I want to see money on the table," Kabrhel added. He then raised to 165,000 in middle position and Bastian Gallitzendoerfer called in the small blind.
"Don't do anything stupid. I have other targets," Kabrhel told him, pointing at Banic. The flop came K♣10♣Q♣. "If I have 80% of a Royale, I bet," he said before putting in 95,000. Gallitzendoerfer called.
"Jack of clubs," Kabrhel said, and the dealer indeed turned over the J♣ on the turn. Kabrhel stood up from his seat and raised his arms in the air in triumph before getting a warning from the dealer. "I'm celebrating. The best dealer. This is for you," Kabrhel said, handing the dealer three yellow 5,000 chips from his stack.
He ended up checking back to the 6♦ river, and both players checked again. Gallitzendoerfer showed A♠2♠ for a straight, but Kabrhel had A♦6♣ for a flush to win the pot.
"What are the chances? I manifested," Kabrhel added.

Jonas Lauck made it 160,000 from the hijack before Gerald Karlic three-bet jammed for 980,000 from the button. Lauck called when the action got back to him.
Gerald Karlic: A♣8♦
Jonas Lauck: 9♥9♦
Karlic was in rough shape against the pocket nines of Lauck and needed to find an ace to survive.
The dealer produced a runout of 7♣8♠6♦4♠A♦ to give Karlic an ace on the river to win the pot, and doubled up through Lauck.

Alberto Speranzoni raised to 160,000 in the cutoff before Martin Kabrhel three-bet to 470,000 in the small blind. Bartlomiej Muzacz moved all in for 1,230,000 in the big blind and Speranzoni folded, but Kabrhel called to put Muzacz at risk.
Bartlomiej Muzacz: A♦K♦
Martin Kabrhel: Q♦J♥
The 10♥9♣6♥ flop gave Kabrhel outs to a straight, and he spiked his straight on the K♥ turn to leave Muzacz drawing dead. The river was the 4♣ and Muzacz was eliminated in 17th place.
The remaining 16 players are drawing for seats at the final two tables.
