Level 13
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
There was a raise from under the gun to 10,000 and a call from the hijack. Paul Groombridge then three-bet squeezed all in for roughly 60,000 out of the small blind. The under-the-gun player shoved all in himself for 130,000 and the hijack folded. The cards were turned over with Groombridge at risk.
Paul Groombridge: 7♠4♠ 
Under-the-Gun Player: Q♠Q♦
Groombridge needed a lot of help if he was to stay alive and he found it on the 7♦7♥8♣ flop, improving him to trip sevens. The A♦ turn and 3♥ river were safe and Groombridge more than doubled up, much to the dismay of his opponent.

Shimizu Nozomu raised from under the gun to 10,000. The action folded all the way around to big blind, who opted to commit his last 15,000 into the middle. Nozomu happily called and the cards were revealed.
Big Blind: J♦7♦
Shimizu Nozomu: A♥5♣
The runout of Q♠2♥3♣K♣8♥ did not improve either player, and Nozomu won the pot with ace-high.

: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
According to the players, action folded to Natan Lidukhover in the small blind and he called. David Anderson was in the big blind and checked his option. Before the dealer dealt out the flop, he asked her to “keep it sh***y.”
The dealer dealt out the 2♥2♠9♥ and Anderson said: “Nice!” After Lidukhover checked to him, he bet out. Lidukhover called.
The turn was another deuce, the 2♣. Lidukhover checked and Anderson snap-checked behind.
The river was the 10♥ and Lidukhover bet 10,000. Anderson then went all in for around 70,000 chips. Lidukhover thought for a while and then folded.
Anderson first turned over the Q♣ and then slowly the 2♦ for the quads. Lidukhover said he folded 9x for deuces full of nines.

The player in the hijack raised to 8,000 and the player in the cutoff moved all in for 45,000 and announced that he was also all in for his online game at the same time. Ben Chambers called from the button and the hijack folded.
Ben Chambers: 5♦5♣
Cutoff: K♥Q♣
The cutoff stated, "Well. I'm live." until the turn came and he said, "now I am not live," and started to walk away but was called back as he still had 4,000 chips.
The board was 6♠J♦6♦5♥Q♥ and Chambers held a full house at the end.

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.
