Boris Berthomet opened to 2,000 from under the gun. Ivan Mikulic called in the hijack before Christian Kung raised to 8,000 from the cutoff. Andreas Katsanis called in the small blind before Berthomet moved all in for 23,000.

Boris Berthomet: A♠K♣
Christian Kung: J♠J♣
Berthomet took the lead on the 4♠A♦Q♠ flop. The 10♥ turn provided outs in the form of a king for Kung but top pair top kicker ended up being good for Berthomet as the 2♥ river ensured the double.
With around 10,000 chips in the pot on a flop of 4♦7♠10♣, Lars-Magne Johansen checked from the small blind and Tommy Nguyen also knuckled the table from the cutoff. Scott Masih fired 3,000 on the button, Johansen folded, and Nguyen called.
On the 5♦ turn, Nguyen checked, Masih bet 6,400, and Nguyen called.
An A♦ landed on the river and after thinking for a while, Nguyen led out for 20,000. It took all of two seconds for Masih to call and he revealed a set with 5♥5♠, which gave Nguyen the opportunity to muck without revealing his cards.
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 21st episode, Connor speaks with Survivor legend Boston Rob, aka Rob Mariano, about growing up near Fenway Park, learning poker at the age of 6, studying psychology at Boston University, applying for Survivor and winning Season 22, his recent appearance on Deal or No Deal Island and filming an upcoming season of The Traitors.
Boston Rob also revealed a story about Costa Rican authorities raiding a mansion known to host high-stakes poker games during a 2006 filming that included Daniel Negreanu, Josh Arieh, David Williams, Michael Mizrachi and actress Cheryl Hines.
"(Gambling mogul) Calvin (Ayre) had a big party at the house, and they came in guns drawn," he said. "And we were fine, but we all had to stay at the party until they checked our passports and everything. I think it was a little bit of a shakedown. But we had a good weekend."
