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 29th episode, Connor talks with actress and high-stakes poker player Jennifer Tilly about the 20th anniversary of her World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet win, high-stakes cash games, the recent cancellation of Chucky, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, voicing Bonnie Swanson on Family Guy, dating poker pro Phil Laak, and her goal of getting into the Poker Hall of Fame.
Tilly also revealed that she tried to stop her ex-husband, Sam Simon, from creating The Simpsons and told the story of how she was nearly the voice of Marge Simpson.

The clock is back up and running, as the final table of nine players begin to battle it out.
The clock has been paused whilst players have racked up for the final table redraw.
Action folded to Scott Eskenazi in the cutoff, and he shoved all of his remaining chips in, a total just over ten big blinds. Chuanshu Chen woke up with a hand on the button, and called the shove.
Scott Eskenazi: A♣J♣ 
Chuanshu Chen: J♦J♥
The board kept Chen sweating the whole way through. The 4♠2♥5♣ gave Eskenazi a wheel draw, and the 10♣ turn had him drawing to the nut flush. That being said, he missed on the Q♠ river, and was sent home right before the final table.
John Esposito called 100,000 in the small blind, Peter Kiem checked his option in the big blind.
Esposito bet 100,000 on a flop of 10♠Q♣7♦, Kiem called. Esposito check-called 250,000 on the 7♥ turn.
Kiem fired out another bet of 500,000 when the 6♣ hit the river, Esposito snap-folded.
Charles Mitchell got his stack all in preflop, and was called off by Carmino Argiero.
Charles Mitchell: A♣K♥
Carmino Argiero: Q♣Q♦
"The classic! I like my chances," said Mitchell as the cards got flipped.
Mitchell was unable to improve, as the board ran out 4♦3♠9♣10♠4♣ sending him to the rail.
