Bruce Buffer Life Outside Poker
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 eighth episode, Connor speaks with legendary UFC ring announcer Bruce Buffer in an exclusive in-depth interview after Buffer's deep run in the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) $50,000 High Roller. Buffer, a longtime poker player, finished in eighth place for a career-best $212,423 after kicking off Day 3 with his trademark "it's time" introduction.
Buffer talked about finding his long-lost half-brother, Michael Buffer, and becoming his manager, the early days of the UFC, the similarities between poker and martial arts, his relationships with Joe Rogan and Dana White, playing poker with Tobey Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio and the time he injured himself in a poker tournament before announcing the biggest UFC fight in history.
This interview was filmed at the 2024 WSOP inside Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.

Wayne Harmon
Wayne Harmon moved all in for his remaining stack shortly after the dinner break and was called by Manuel Estol, who had Harmon covered.
Wayne Harmon: K♥K♦
Manuel Estol: J♠J♥
The dealer fanned 7♣Q♠K♣ on the flop, giving Harmon top set.
“That’s a safe flop,” a player at the table said.
Not so fast, because this is poker, after all.
The dealer placed A♠ on the turn, opening up a gutshot straight possibility for Estol. The 10♦ on the river drew stunned reactions from the table, as Estol got there for a straight to eliminate Harmon.
Wayne Harmon finished the tournament in 17th place for a payout of $57,652.

Brian Roff: 10♦9♦
