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?"
The Life Outside Poker podcast is available on major streaming platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and iHeartRadio. You can also watch the interview with Tony G by heading to the PokerNews YouTube channel.

Jason Wheeler: A♠J♠
The flop was promising for Wheeler as the Q♠7♥5♠ gave him a flush draw. However, the K♦ turn put Alonso further out in front and the 3♣ river confirmed his double-up.

On a flop of 5♠J♠6♥, Soraya Estrada, in early position, checked the action to Hiroshi Nishiyama, in middle position. Nishiyama bet out 3,000 and Estrada made the call.
The 9♠ turn saw a repeat of the action, this time Nishiyama sized down to 2,900.
The 3♥ river checked to a showdown. Estrada tabled A♦5♦ for a pair of fives; good enough to take down this pot.
