Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 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)."

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Sebastian Trela shoved for 1,350,000 from the cutoff and Rory Liffey snap-called from the big blind.

Sebastian Trela: 8♥8♦ All in
Rory Liffey; 10♠10♦

Trela needed a date with an eight to beat Liffey's pocket tens. However, the runout of 2♣K♥3♦Q♠Q♦ didn't help Trela, and he was the Main Event's eighth-place finisher.
