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 13th episode, Connor speaks with 888poker ambassador and Twitch streamer Ian Simpson, who talked about first learning poker as a kid, getting a degree in biotechnology and becoming a biology teacher, poker streaming and his breakout year of live poker in 2013 that saw him winning the Irish Poker Open for $339,604.
Simpson also discussed the importance of being a responsible poker ambassador and how science can change the world for the better.
With roughly 40,000 on the A♣9♠5♦8♠ turn, Jeremie Zouari fired 13,000 and Scott Margereson made the call.
The K♠ fell on the river, and Margereson announced all in. Zouari went into the tank, asking for a count. After hearing it was 42,500, he eventually folded and flashed the A♠.
Margereson showed a card of his own, tabling the 10♣. Ren lin said, "Wow, that's a professional bluff." Margereson then tabled the 7♣.
A pot of over 30,000 had been built by the river with a completed board of Q♦6♣4♠7♠Q♣ as Ren Lin bet 30,000 from the hijack into Jeremie Zouari in the cutoff.
Zouari thought briefly and then called to see Lin show 6♦6♥ for a full house and the winner to rocket into six figures.
Sam Greenwood was all in on the button for 28,500 against Kiwamu Watabe in the hijack.
Sam Greenwood: A♠K♥
Kiwamu Watabe: K♠K♣
The A♥J♦6♣ flop paired Greenwood's ace to take the lead and left Watabe drawing thin. The 10♦ turn gave some chop possibilities but the J♥ river improved Greenwood to a full house.
Thomas Eychenne opened 4,000 in the hijack and Vladimir Korzinin came along in the big blind.
When the K♥9♥6♥ flop hit the felt, both players checked to the 6♦ turn. Korzinin fired 3,500 across the line and Eychenne called.
The 10♠ completed the board on the river and Korzinin continued for 4,500 which was instantly called by Eychenne. Korzinin rolled Q♥10♣ before Eychenne showed K♦5♦ to drag the pot.
After Jules Dickerson moved his last 36,000 in from the button, Scott Margereson moved in from the small blind, covering Dickerson by just 1,000 chips.
Jules Dickerson: A♥J♠
Scott Margereson: A♠Q♦
The board came 10♠9♦7♦3♠3♥ as Margereson's better ace-high held up to eliminate Dickerson for a final time today.
