Omaha Hi-Lo

Action was picked up on the turn in a pot between Jake Schwartz in early position, Harold Klein in the big blind and Robert Mizrachi on the button.

With a pot having been built up and a board reading Q♠5♦3♠4♥, Klein checked to Schwartz who bet and only Mizrachi called.

The river peeled off a 6♦ and Schwartz checked over to Mizrachi who bet. Schwartz went into the tank pondering his decision and eventually tossed his hand into the muck. Mizrachi smiled and flashed A♠2♠ for a wheel which was good for the 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, 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.

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.
