After a preflop betting bonanza, Sam Blankenship got it all in against two other players, with him as the shortest stack.
Sam Blankenship: A♥A♦
Player 1: J♥J♦
Player 2: 3♣3♥
Blankenship was very much a favorite going into this hand, and the runout of 9♥7♦8♠7♣6♥ kept it that way to secure the main pot for the triple up while Player 1 took the side pot.

A player opened to 18,000 in the small blind and Ben Yu three-bet to 50,000 in the big blind. His opponent responded by moving all in with the covering stack. Yu went into the tank as he considered a decision for a huge pot on the soft bubble of the tournament. Eventually, and with visible reluctance, he mucked his holding to preserve his stack a few spots away from the money.

Gabi Livshitz kicked off the action with a raise to 14,000 from early position. Another player went all in for 52,000, and Andrew Batey also went all in from the big blind for 67,000. Livshitz asked the dealer for a count but ultimately decided to call both all-ins.
Livshitz revealed 9♣9♠, Batey showed Q♣Q♦, and the third player had J♥10♥. The board ran out 8♣4♠2♦8♥10♣, eliminating the third player and allowing Batey to secure a triple up and a bounty.

Peiwen Wang opened to 12,000 from late position and then called after Ryan Riess moved his short stack into the middle on the button.
Ryan Riess: K♥J♥
Peiwen Wang: K♣Q♠
Riess was in rough shape but picked up a flush draw on the 7♥9♦4♥ flop. The 4♣ turn and 3♣ river bricked out, however, to send the former main event champion out of the tournament short of the money.

Life Outside Poker is a new 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 eighth episode, Connor speaks with legendary UFC ring announcer Bruce Buffer in an exclusive in-depth interview after Buffer's deep run in the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) $50,000 High Roller. Buffer, a longtime poker player, finished in eighth place for a career-best $212,423 after kicking off Day 3 with his trademark "it's time" introduction.
Buffer talked about finding his long-lost half-brother, Michael Buffer, and becoming his manager, the early days of the UFC, the similarities between poker and martial arts, his relationships with Joe Rogan and Dana White, playing poker with Tobey Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio and the time he injured himself in a poker tournament before announcing the biggest UFC fight in history.
The Life Outside Poker podcast is available on major streaming platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and iHeartRadio. You can also watch the interview with Bruce Buffer by heading to the PokerNews YouTube channel.
After a player opened, Jessica Teusl three-bet to 40,000 and the player called to see a flop of Q♠2♦7♠.
Teusl continued for 27,000, her opponent shoved to cover, and Teusl snap-called to put herself at risk.
Jessica Teusl: Q♥Q♦
Opponent: A♠8♠
Teusl was well in the lead with her top set of queens, but she still had to fade the spade draw to stay alive. Fortunately for her, the 2♣ peeled off on the turn to give her a full house, locking up the hand. The board completed with the 8♥ and Teusl was pushed the substantial pot.
