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.
This interview took place at the 2024 WSOP in Las Vegas and was filmed inside Horseshoe Las Vegas.
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.

Robert Gill was seen dragging in a pot after having knocked out one of his tablemates.
With cards on their backs at showdown, and the board reading A♠Q♦6♣J♣J♠, Gill's A♣A♦6♠4♣ for a full house, aces full of jacks, earned him the pot worth about 100,000.
His opponent tabled 8♠5♠5♦4♥, and was sent to the payout desk.
