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 sixth episode, Connor spoke with longtime poker pro and coach Faraz Jaka, who was fresh off a runner-up finish in the World Series of Poker (WSOP) $25,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em Championship. Jaka talked about running up a six-figure bankroll in college, going broke and moving down stakes, battling back from a debilitating back injury to win his first bracelet in 2023 and running deep in this year's $25,000 Heads-Up Championship.
Jaka also talked about his site Jaka Coaching, discussed what makes a good poker coach and offered advice for players looking to grind the WSOP this summer.
The Life Outside Poker podcast is available on major streaming platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and iHeartRadio. You can also watch the interview with Faraz Jaka by heading to the PokerNews YouTube channel.

Bradley Anderson: Q♠Q♥5♥4♠ 
Big blind: J♦10♣9♥4♣
The river 7♦ was safe for Anderson, as he improved to a full house, queens full of sevens, to secure the double up.

Heads up on a river reading A♦A♠4♦9♠A♥, Jared Jaffee was in the tank, rolled his eyes,, and considered his options as he faced a bet of 60,000 from Nicholas Gonzalez. Almost reluctantly, Jaffee made the call and saw the bad news when Gonzalez tabled A♣9♣8♣5♣ for top board.
Jaffee still has more than two starting stacks despite the massive hit his chips took.
