Three-handed on a board of Q?3?4?J?, Alex Montgomery bet 5,500 from the small blind and Jamie Dwan called in the big blind, as did Paul Rigg on the button.
The river was the 8? and Montgomery moved all in for 30,000. Dwan snap-called, while Rigg got out of the way. Montgomery turned over K?10? for a missed straight draw and Dwan showed 9?4? for a flush to win the big pot and send Montgomery 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 15th episode, Connor speaks with statistician Nate Silver about his new book On the Edge: The Art of Risking Everything, election forecasting, founding and leaving FiveThirtyEight, his bad beats at feature tables, and co-hosting the Risky Business podcast with Maria Konnikova.
Silver also discusses the upcoming US presidential election, sports analytics, Limit Hold'em, his Silver Bulletin newsletter and why no one should be a nit in life.
This interview was filmed on June 8.
