Action was caught on the river with the board Q♥Q♠3♣J♣A♠.
Andre Luis Berlanda made an overbet of 10,000 into 6,000-chip pot on the river. Francisco Fragoso thought for a moment and called.
Berlanda flipped over J♠J♦ for the turned jacks full of queens. Fragoso hesitated a bit and showed K♣Q♣ for flopped trip queens.
The hijack raised to 800. Kevin Andriamahefa three-bet it to 3,500 from the button and the hijack came alone with the call.
The flop came down K♦Q♣4♥. Andriamahefa continued for 2,200 which got his opponent to fold fairly swiftly as the recent WSOP circuit Grand Victoria main event champion took the modest early pot.
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 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.

Action was already on the river with a board that showed 8♦8♥4♠7♦A♣. Jared Griener made a bet and Eric Afriat quickly called.
Griener tabled the JxJx but that was no good up against the Q♠Q♦ of Afriat who took down the pot with the superior pocket pair.
Action was caught on the turn on the board 3♣5♣Q♦2♠. Fangxiao Zhang checked in the big blind. Eric Stangel bet 2,000 on the cutoff, and Zhang raised to 5,000. Stangel called.
The river was the 8♠ and Zhang now bet 12,000, which was about the size of the pot. After some thinking Stangel called and saw the bad news, his opponent had turned the set with 2♣2♦.
