The early position player opened to 5,000 and Brian Barker called from the cutoff. Philip Clarke also called from the big blind.
On the 2♣9♠8♦ flop, it checked to Barker who bet 6,000, and only the early position player called.
Both checked the 4♥ turn to see the Q♥ fall on the river. Once it checked to Barker, he bet 50,000, which was enough to put his opponent all-in. After some time, the early position player folded.
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.
On a board of 7♥5♣A♠2♠ there were around 50,000 chips in the pot when Nithin Eapen had bet 10,000. Jessica Teusl then raised to 33,000, and after some time thinking, Eapen shoved all in for around 150,000. Teusl called at lightning speed.
Nithin Eapen: A♥10♠
Jessica Teusl: 7♦7♠
Eapen was drawing dead to Teusl's flopped set as a meaningless 8♦ completed the board which meant he was eliminated, and Teusl's stack climbed to over 400,000 chips.
A three-way all-in and call situation occurred with Mustapha Kanit in the blinds and Florian Duta in middle position both at risk against a player in early position.
Mustapha Kanit: 9♠9♥
Florian Duta: A♥Q♣
Early position player: A♦J♦
On a board of 5♦4♥2♦7♠2♣, Kanit tripled up while Duta won the side pot.
