Nivel 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Action folded to Ricky Perez on the button and he raised all in for his stack of 31,000, which Yordanos Mebrathu in the small blind called. Then Michael Skimbo in the big blind three-bet to put Mebrathu all in for her stack of 95,000, which she called as well, leaving Perez and Mebrathu at risk.

Ricky Perez: A♥9♦ All in
Yordanos Mebrathu: A♠Q♣ All in
Michael Skimbo: A♦9♥

Mebrathu was in a great spot to more than double up with Skimbo and Perez sharing cards. But after the 8♦9♣8♠ flop Mebrathu was the one needing help to stay in the tournament. However she quickly took the lead back after the Q♠ on the turn, and the 4♣ on the river gave her the pot and eliminate Perez with two pair queens and eights.

Nivel 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

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 18th episode, Connor speaks with author and psychologist Maria Konnikova about her family leaving Russia to come to the US, writing her first story in kindergarten, being mentored by Steven Pinker at Harvard, meeting Erik Seidel for the first time and her 2020 bestseller The Biggest Bluff that explored her poker journey.

Konnikova, a PokerStars ambassador, also talked about her research for an upcoming book into cheating in poker and other games, as well as game integrity rule changes implemented at EPT Barcelona that Konnikova said needed to go even further.

"I think what PokerStars has done is amazing. I think you need to go a step further and not have any electronics anywhere on the table," said Konnikova. "Like, I think phones need to be on the floor, in your bag."

"I would actually also ban sunglasses because ... there's so much technology that (that can enable cheating)."

Action folded to a player in middle position who raised all in for 48,000 and Ricky Perez also went all for 18,000 from the hijack. It then folded to John Reynolds in the small blind who made the call to put both players at risk. The big blind folded and the cards were turned on their backs.

Ricky Perez: A♠K♥ All in
Middle Position: K♠J♦ All in
John Reynolds: A♦Q♦

Perez was ahead with ace king high looking for a triple up, but once the board ran out 6♥2♠2♣6♦10♣ the ace high of Perez and Reynolds chopped up the main pot, while Reynolds took the side pot for a nice chip up, as the middle position player was eliminated.
