Mori Eskandani: Xx3x / 4x3x3x folded on fifth street
Opponent: Ax6x / 8x4x10x
Mori Eskandani completed and was called by one opponent. He bet fourth street and then check-folded fifth when he paired his trey, revealing another trey in the hole. When sitting down earlier on, the WSOP Poker Hall of Fame member had joked that "today will be a quick one" and he already lost a portion of his starting stack.
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.
Bruno Portaro: A♦A♠J♥ / A♣4♥9♦10♣
Yehuda Buchalter: XxXx / 7♥K♦5♦7♣ / Xx
Yehuda Buchalter bet his pair of sevens on sixth and was called by Bruno Portaro, who then faced another bet on seventh. Portaro raised and Buchalter called to get shown a set of aces.
"He got there in the end," another player remarked while Portaro smirked "no, of course I was rolled up". The Aussie mentioned that he had previously won a big pot in Pot-Limit Omaha.
Kazuhiro Shirasawa reraised to 8,000 pre draw and Kiryl Radzivonau called with around 13,000 behind. Shirasawa drew one while Radzivonau patted. The shove by Shirasawa for around 15,000 followed and Radzivonau sigh-called after a short while.
Shirasawa tabled 7x6x5x4x2x and Radzivonau tossed his cards into the muck.
