Sarah Kilborn-Strand was counting out her chips after doubling through former chip leader Dinesh Alt.
"Two pair versus a set," Alt told us, with both players sitting on about the same stack with around an hour until the dinner break.

Christina Gollins:K♦K♠
The dealer didn't save the opponent from elimination when they dealt the J♠ turn and 10♦ river, meaning Gollins gained another knockout bounty, taking her total to three.

Josh Arieh raised to 20,000 in middle position, it folded to Yuya Kita in the cutoff, who three-bet to 60,000 leaving 9,000 chips behind. When it folded back to Arieh, he elected to put Kita all in, which Kita called.
Yuya Kita: A♥K♦
Josh Arieh K♠5♠
Kita was in great shape for the double, and the A♣Q♥9♣ left Arieh needing running cards to find the knockout. The 3♣ on the turn left Arieh drawing dead, as the 9♥ completed the board, to give Kita the double up.

Nathaen Blankenship: J♦J♣
The Q♦9♥8♦2♠Q♣ board didn't change anything and Blankenship added the chips to his stack just as his table was breaking.

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.
For the fifth episode, Connor spoke with South Florida crusher Raminder Singh about his nearly one hundred live tournament victories, moving to the US from India and running a business full time. He also shared his strategies for various tournament stages and gave Connor a tour of his one-of-a-kind poker trophy collection.
This interview took place inside Singh's South Florida home during the World Poker Tour (WPT) Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown in Hollywood, Florida.
The Life Outside Poker podcast is available on major streaming platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and iHeartRadio. You can also watch the interview with Raminder Singh by heading to the PokerNews YouTube channel.
One player opened to 16,000 and Kevin O'Donnell three-bet all in for over 600,000 — by far the biggest stack at the table.
Po Fuk Ying was behind him and moved all in for 70,000 with the original raiser folding.
Po Fuk Ying: 9♥9♠
Kevin O'Donnell: A♣K♠
It would appear that O'Donnell had been on a tear of late, if his tablemates table talk was anything to go by.
"At least this time you're behind!" someone joked.
The J♦4♣3♠8♦6♦ board held no issues for Ying and he doubled up.
