Niveau 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

David Coleman, on the button, asked Konstantyn Holskyi in the big blind how many chips he had left after checking his own cards. Once Holskyi counted and informed him, Coleman went all in, covering the remaining players. Holskyi folded, but Akinobu Maeda quickly glanced at his cards and decided to call all in with 3,700,000.

Akinobu Maeda: A♣Q♥ All in
David Coleman: 9♠3♠

Coleman needed significant help from the board. The flop came 8♣7♠2♥, offering no assistance.

The 10♦ on the turn gave Coleman a glimmer of hope with a straight draw.

However, the Q♦ on the river gave Maeda top pair, securing his double-up.

Life Outside Poker w/ Connor Richards is a new podcast for PokerNews that focuses on poker players with successful careers and lives outside of poker.

For the third episode, Connor spoke with high-stakes poker player, politician and entrepreneur Antanas "Tony G" Guoga. In the interview, Tony G spoke about growing up in Lithuania, founding PokerNews in the early 2000s, getting into European politics later in life and his favorite televised poker moments.

He also opened up about clashing with players like Phil Hellmuth in televised games and even issued a heads-up challenge to the Poker Brat. Will Hellmuth take him on, or is he, like Tony G said, "afraid to ever play me again?"

Konstantyn Holskyi went all in for his last 2,050,000 from the small blind after everyone folded to him. Akinobu Maeda, in the big blind, tanked for a while as he only needed around 2,000,000 to call. Eventually, he made the call.

Konstantyn Holskyi: J♠8♠ All in
Akinobu Maeda: 9♠4♣

The flop came 2♥10♠6♠, giving Holskyi a flush draw.

The 3♥ turn provided Maeda with additional outs for a potential straight.

However, the 7♦ on the river completed Holskyi's double-up.

Props, Family & Fortnite: For the Four Members of Team Lucky It's About Much More Than Poker

Niveau 35 : 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

With 14 bracelets and nearly $50 million in tournament earnings between the four of them, there's no denying that Shaun Deeb, Josh Arieh, Daniel Weinman and Matt Glantz are poker crushers. But with resumes that include a $1 million bounty pull, a body fat prop bet victory worth nearly the same amount and a win in the biggest World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event in history, it's clear the group of close friends also have luck on their sides.

The four American poker players have branded themselves as "Team Lucky" — a name that Deeb may have come up with, though they aren't certain — as a way of consciously embracing and owning their good fortunes while fighting back against the jaded cynicism all to common in the poker world.

But Team Lucky is about more than once-in-a-lifetime bounty binks and turned two-outers leading to $12 million scores. As PokerNews learned during brunch with its four members, is more about friendship, camaraderie, and shared values than a good run of cards.

After David Coleman checked the stacks of the players to act after him, he decided to raise to 1,000,000 on the button with 8♠8♦. Akinobu Maeda opted to defend his big blind with K♥8♥.

Maeda check-called Coleman's 500,000 bet on the 3♦9♦3♣ flop.

The turn brought the A♥, and Maeda checked again. Coleman continued with a 750,000 bet, and Maeda called after some deliberation.

The K♦ on the river gave Maeda top pair, but he chose to check. Coleman also checked, visibly displeased with the outcome as the pot went to Maeda.

When the J♣ completed the board on the river, Maeda checked for a final time and Seward checked back to drag the pot with two pair.
