Life Outside Poker is a 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 28th episode, Connor talks with Canadian high-stakes pro Sam Greenwood about getting into poker with his two brothers Lucas Greenwood and Max Greenwood, running up a bankroll in high school, traveling the world playing high-stakes tournaments, climbing Canada's all-time money list and battling with Vladimir "Gambledore" Korzinin at Triton.
Greenwood also talked about the state of online poker, how to deal with cheaters, being a dad and his new "Punt of the Day" blog where he breaks down key hands from high-stakes tournaments.
The Life Outside Poker podcast is available on major streaming platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, SoundCloud and iHeartRadio. You can also watch the interview with Sam Greenwood by heading to the PokerNews YouTube channel.

Level 9
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Toby Joyce raised to 20,000 from the cutoff before action folded around to the big blind of Sean Winter, who called.
Winter checked the 5♠5♥Q♠ flop before Joyce slid out 14,000. Winter chose to raise to 37,000, and Joyce called.
Winter bet 52,000 on the 5♣ turn. Joyce called.
The A♣ river led to a bet of 105,000 from Winter, who only left a single 1,000 chip behind. Joyce gave it some thought before he folded to award Winter the pot.
Level 9
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Matthew Belcher opened to 21,000 on the button, and faced a shove from a short-stacked Alexandros Theologis. Belcher snap-called, and the hands were flipped up.
Alexandros Theologis: A♠6♠ 
Matthew Belcher: A♦K♠
The 5♣2♠3♠ flop gave Theologis a lot of hope of staying alive, and the 5♥ turn gave him a chance to chop the pot. The 8♣ didn't give him the help he needed, and he was out the door.
"How did I lose this?", Theologis said in a joking way, considering how many outs he had to remain in the tournament.
"I would have taken a chop on the turn", Belcher said back.
Level 9
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
David Coleman raised to 22,000 in the cutoff and Jonathan Jaffe three-bet to 80,000 on the button. The blinds folded and Coleman called to see a flop of 10♣7♠6♥.
Coleman checked to Jaffe who continued with a bet of 100,000 and Coleman called. The 7♦ paired the board on the turn and Coleman checked again. Jaffe jammed all in for 345,000 and Coleman asked for a count while deliberating.
"Jonathan Jaffe with the jacks, right?" Coleman thought out loud while Jaffe remained silent.
Coleman eventually called and Jaffe indeed turned over J♣J♦ while Coleman was left with K♥10♥. The river was the A♦ and Jaffe doubled up.

Andrew Lichtenberger began the action with a raise to 20,000 and was called by John Hennigan before Phil Hellmuth jammed for 177,000. Lichtenberger folded, and Hennigan called to put Hellmuth at risk.
Phil Hellmuth: Q♣Q♠
John Hennigan: A♣Q♦
Hellmuth's queens held as the dealer fanned the 7♥2♦K♠7♠8♦ board.
Level 9
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
The action was joined with a raising battle happening between Phil Hellmuth and John Hennigan, with John Hennigan eventually moving all in, and Hellmuth had him covered.
John Hennigan: K♥K♠
Phil Hellmuth: A♠Q♠
No ace on the 10♠3♣Q♣ flop, and when the turn 8♥ and river 4♠ both came blanks, Hennigan was sent the pot and a full double up.
Level 9
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Eric Wasserson raised from early position to 20,000 and was called by Nicholas Maimone from middle position.
The flop came A♣J♦2♠ and Wasserson bet out for 25,000. Maimone called.
The turn brought the 4♦, and now Wasserson bet out for 40,000. Maimone moved all-in and he had Wasserson covered. Wasserson snap called:
Eric Wasserson: AxKx
Nicholas Maimone: A♠J♣
Maimone had flopped two pair, and Wasserson needed to hit a king to stay alive. The river bricked out and Wasserson was sent packing.
Level 9
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Action folded to Linglin Zeng in the small blind. She then asked Ben Tollerene how much he was playing in the big blind. "163", Tollerene answered. Zeng then proceeded to jam all in, asking for all of Tollerene's stack. Tollerene quickly called and the cards were on their backs.
Ben Tollerene: A♥J♥
Linglin Zeng: Q♥J♣
Zeng was in trouble, but the Q♦Q♠9♦10♦4♣ gave her the victory and eliminated Tollerene.
