Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Connor Richards

Level 18

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.

The Life Outside Poker podcast is available on major streaming platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and iHeartRadio. You can also watch the interview with Bruce Buffer by heading to the PokerNews YouTube channel.

Taylor was left short the following hand and she got in her final chips against Leah once more.

Esther Taylor: 5x3x/Ax8x6x8x/Xx All in
Mike Leah: 6x3x/5x7x6xQx/Xx
Nacho Barbero: XxXx/5xJx10x (folded on fifth street)

Taylor completed with her ace and she and Leah capped it on third street with Barbero calling every bet from both of them until Taylor was all in.

Leah bet on fourth street with Barbero calling and on fifth street, Barbero folded to the second bet from Leah.

The seventh street cards saw Leah peel an Ax which was good for him to make a seven-six and Taylor peeled a Kx which did not improve her hand and she was eliminated from the tournament.

Liam Gannon

Level 18

Omaha Hi-Lo

Action was picked up in a multiway pot.

Benny Glaser in the big blind bet on a board reading K♣9♥3♠ which saw Esther Taylor call in first position and Brandon Shack Harris responded by raising. Patrick Moulder in the hijack folded and Maksim Pisarenko in the small blind folded, leaving only Glaser and Taylor to call.

The turn of 10♣ had everyone check to the 7♦ river where Glaser bet, folding out Taylor and sending Shack-Harris into the tank.

"I think we have the same hand Benny," said Shack-Harris as he was pondering his decision. He shuffled around his chips a little bit more, then folded K♠Q♥10♠9♠ face up.

"I had a set of threes," said Mike Leah as Glaser raked in the pot, eliminating one of the potential hands to be Shack-Harris' hand to be possible in Glaser's hand.
