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 tenth episode, Connor speaks with health and life coach Tyler Todt, a longtime poker player who made seven figures in early online poker days before taking a job in the banking industry and eventually leaving that to become his own boss and a health influencer.

Todt talked about online poker pre-Black Friday, bum hunting Tom Dwan, the benefits of a balanced life, avoiding the pitfalls of Las Vegas, being bullish on humanity and his favorite non-fiction books.

This interview was filmed at the 2024 World Series of Poker (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 Tyler Todt by heading to the PokerNews YouTube channel.

PLO – PLO 8 – Big O - PLTD: 600/1,200, 1,200 Ante
No-Limit Hold’em: 600/1,200, 1,800 Ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Kyle Miholich, commonly seen wearing eccentric outfits, opened to 3,000 from under the gun while wearing a full Ron Burgandy outfit (microphone included). On the button, 2023 Main Event Champion Daniel Weinman potted to 12,800 and Miholich put in the call.

Miholich grabbed his microphone and announced, "SPR kinda shallow, not sure what's gonna happen here."

On the K♠5♦4♣ flop, Miholich checked to Weinman who potted for 24,000 effective and Miholich put in the call for his tournament life.

Kyle Miholich: A♦K♣Q♣8♠ All in
Daniel Weinman: A♠A♥J♣10♦

The 10♠ peeled off on the turn which left Miholich with just five outs to survive. Luckily for him, the K♦ fell on the river and Miholich raised his arms in celebration before he complemented Weinman on taking the bad beat "like a champion."

"You need to suck out on a Main Event champion to make it on the news these days," lamented Miholich as he dragged the pot.

Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Action was picked up after the second draw in a pot between Sean Akhavi in the cutoff and Ariel Mantel in the big blind.

With 18,000 in the center, Akhavi drew one while Mantel stood pat. Mantel moved all in for 13,000 which sent Akhavi into the tank. After some thought he called to put Mantel at risk.

Mantel sighed as he drew two, a clear indication that he had been snowing, and Akhavi stood pat.

Ariel Mantel:6x4x2♠ All in
Sean Akhavi: 8x7x6x5x3x
