Life Outside Poker is a 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 35th episode, Connor talks with No Filter Poker Series founder Mounir Tajiou about growing up in Sweden, working as a high court judge, playing professional soccer, making a deep run in the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, and the new No Filter Poker Series, which values fun at the table over poker strategy.
We also hear from 1998 Main Event champion Scotty Nguyen, reigning WSOP champ Michael Mizrachi and Finnish poker legend Juha Helppi about their involvement with the No Filter Poker tour.

The bubble is near, but not before a 60-minute dinner break.
The 208 remaining players will resume action at approximately 9:45 p.m. local time, just six spots away from the money.

Benny Glaser opened to 175,000 in the cutoff and Jean-Robert Bellande called on the button.
Both players checked on the flop of 10♣6♦8♠ and again on the 3♥ turn. Glaser checked once more on the K♣ river and Bellande took a stab by betting 325,000. Glaser folded.

Antonio Galiana opened to 180,000 on the button, and Erik Eisen defended his big blind to see the 7♠4♠K♣ flop.
Eisen checked and made the call when Galiana continued for another 180,000. Both players checked through the 8♣ turn, and Eisen led out for 400,000 on the 10♥ river.
Galiana took the entire 30-second clock before raising to 1,300,000, and Eisen took some time of his own before making the call.
Galiana tabled 10♣8♥ for two pair, adding more chips to his stack when Eisen mucked.

Christoph Vogelsang opened with a raise to 190,000 from early position, which was called by Benny Glaser in the small blind and the big blind Jean-Robert Bellande.
After the A♥Q♦2♠ flop, it was checked to Vogelsang, who bet out 175,000. Glaser made the call in the small blind, then Bellande raised to 700,000. Vogelsang mucked, as did Glaser, to give Bellande the pot.
Vogelsang then said to Bellande, "SHOW!" and Bellande told Vogelsang to pick one of his cards. He picked one and turned over the K♣, and Bellande jokingly said, "Oh no! Not that one!" followed by a big laugh.

Garry Gurevich: A♣10♥
Brandon Adams: K♠10♦
"No king," Gurevich pleaded with the dealer, and was pleased with the 4♥8♦2♣6♦7♠ board to earn the double through Adams.
