Elie Nakache bet 450,000 from the cutoff on a flop of 6♦9♥2♦ and Roland Rokita called in middle position.
The turn was the 10♥ and Nakache moved all in for 2,600,000. Rokita snap-called and turned over 10♠9♠ for two pair, while Nakache could only show A♦10♣ for top pair.
The river was the 2♥ and Rokita took the big pot to send Nakache to the rail.
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."
Alexandra Botez moved all in for 900,000 from the button and Alisson Piekazewicz called in the big blind.
Alexandra Botez: J♠9♥
Alisson Piekazewicz: A♣5♦
The A♥3♦A♠ flop gave Piekazewicz trips and left Botez already drawing dead. The board ran out 6♠A♦ and Piekazewicz ended up with quads to seal the bustout.
"Alright, you take this one," Botez said on her way to collect her payout.
With roughly 500,000 in the middle the flop read J♠9♦8♦, and Pieter Aerts checked from the big blind to Alex Foxen in middle position who fired 265,000. Aerts tank-called.
The A♠ fell on the turn and Aerts check-jammed over a bet of 575,000 for about 3,000,000 and Foxen snap-called.
Pieter Aerts: 8♠7♠
Alex Foxen: Q♥10♥
Aerts ran into the nuts as Foxen flopped a straight and was unable to find a spade to stay alive as the A♣ paired the board on the river.
Aram Sargsyan moved all in for 710,000 from the button and Rainer Kempe put him at risk in early position.
Aram Sargsyan: A♦J♣
Rainer Kempe: A♣K♦
Sargsyan found himself dominated as the flop came A♠3♣2♠, giving both players top pair. The A♥ turn improved them to trips, but Kempe's king-kicker continued to play following the 4♠ river to send Sargsyan to the rail.
Chris Klodnicki raised to 280,000 in the cutoff before Chris Moneymaker three-bet to 800,000 on the button. Klodnicki four-bet to 2,000,000 and Moneymaker called.
Both players checked the K♥Q♦10♠ flop. Klodnicki also checked the Q♥ turn and Moneymaker then bet 1,000,000. Klodnicki quickly called.
Klodnicki once again checked the A♦ river. "This might be the worst board I've seen in my life," Moneymaker said as he checked behind.
"Straight," Klodnicki announced, showing J♠J♥.
"Jacks are good. I should've bet the flop, but I don't think you're folding any street. Very bad river," Moneymaker added.
Gleb Tremzin opened to 245,000 from under the gun and was called by Matthias Eibinger on the button and Aram Oganyan in the big blind. The flop came 10♠6♥3♠ and Tremzin continued with a bet of 305,000. Eibinger called and Oganyan shoved all in for 1,655,000. Tremzin reshoved all in and Eibinger stepped aside.
Aram Oganyan: Q♠J♠
Gleb Tremzin: K♠K♥
The turn was the Q♥ to give Oganyan a pair and even more outs but the 5♣ on the river bricked out, sending the chips to Tremzin.
