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 seventh episode, Connor speaks with World Series of Poker (WSOP) commentator Norman Chad, one of the most recognizable voices in poker who has provided color commentary on poker's biggest stage for over 20 years.
Chad talks about getting his start as a sports writer in college, his decades-long syndicated sports humor column for the Washington Post and being asked to commentate on the 2003 WSOP Main Event that sparked the Poker Boom.
Chad also discusses the state of poker broadcasting today, the need for more color commentary in the booth, and the need for more interesting characters on the felt.
The Life Outside Poker podcast is available on major streaming platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and iHeartRadio. You can also watch the interview with Norman Chad by heading to the PokerNews YouTube channel.

Action folded around to the blinds, where [Removed:554] called from the small blind and Phil Ivey raised to 48,000 from the big blind. [Removed:555] called.
[Removed:555] check-called a 40,000 bet from Ivey on the Q♥K♣5♥ flop and then both players checked on the 7♠ turn.
The 8♦ completed the board and [Removed:555] overbet the pot for 270,000. Ivey burned up a couple time extensions before opting to lay his hand down and [Removed:555] collected the pot.

Action picked up on the river in a hand between Kazuhiko Yotsushika, who was under the gun, and Yulian Bogdanov, in the big blind.
With about 500,000 in the pot and the board reading 4♦J♥A♦2♣A♣, Bogdanov checked and Yotsushika bet 150,000.
Bogdanov went deep into the tank, using five time bank cards, before eventually arriving at a fold.

Daniel Negreanu opened to 32,000 from under the gun and Paul Jager shoved all in from the next seat for around 300,000. When the action got back to Negreanu, he made the call.
Paul Jager: J♥J♠ 
Daniel Negreanu: A♦K♣
Jager sighed when he saw the flop of 5♥9♣K♦ as Negreanu paired his king and took the lead. No improvement on the 2♠ turn nor 5♣ river meant Jager was sent to the rail.

Sergio Aido: K♠7♠
The 3♠ turn improved Aido to a flush and left Hennigan drawing dead.
An irrelevant 3♦ completed the board and Aido collected the rest of Hennigan’s chips.

Action picked up on the flop in a hand between Leon Sturm and Shannon Shorr.
With about 90,000 in the pot and the board reading Q♠9♥3♠, Shorr check-called a bet of 61,000 from Sturm.
The 4♥ turn went check-check, and on the 2♦ river, Shorr led out with a bet of 185,000. Sturm then raised to 630,000, putting Shorr all in for a little less.
After using several time bank cards, Shorr made the call and saw the bad news when Sturm tabled 6♥5♥, having hit a backdoor straight.
