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 11th episode, Connor speaks with Dan "Jungleman" Cates about accountability in poker, his notorious heads-up challenge with Tom Dwan, Game of Gold, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, mindfulness in poker and his new podcast Winning the Game of Life.
Cates also talked about his iconic Poker Players Championship outfits and a six-figure downswing he experienced at Bellagio during the summer.
This interview was filmed at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) inside Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.

Toan Nguyen raised to 2,00 from early position, and once it folded to Igor Kurganov on the button, he made the call. The big blind Vaughn Michaud also called to see a flop.
The flop came 2♣4♦A♥ and Michaud checked to Nguyen who bet 2,500. Kurganov folded, and Michaud made the call.
Both players checked after the 9♦ on the turn.
After the 9♣ on the river, Michaud bet out 5,000. Nguyen decided to throw his cards in the muck and give the pot to Michaud.
After the hand was over Michaud tabled 10♠5♥ to show Nguyen he was bluffing.

Action picked up on a board showing 10♦8♠6♠ in a hand with Steven Piper all in out of the big blind for his remaining 15,700 against an opponent on the button.
The player on the button was in the tank shuffling chips and looking at the board before asking the dealer for a count, which the dealer confirmed. The player on the button then called to put Piper at risk.
“I flopped a straight,” Piper said before tabling his hand.
Steven Piper: 9♣7♥ 
Opponent: K♣10♣
Piper was well ahead in the hand after the flop. And it remained that way after the dealer placed Q♠ on the turn and 2♣ on the river to give Piper a double up.
