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.

Jiexi Guo moved all in for 4,575,000 from early position, Dohang Na put in an isolating raise from middle position and the hand went to a showdown.

Jiexi Guo: 8♣8♥ All in
Dohang Na: A♠Q♣

This flip fell in the favor of Guo as the 4♣8♦9♦ flop gave her a set. The A♥ turn and 7♥ river changed nothing and Guo doubled through Na.

Nível 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

After a preflop betting war, Stephen Silverman, Shariq Khan, and Junya Matsueda get all of their chips into the middle, with Matsueda covering.

Shariq Khan: 10♦10♥ All in
Stephen Silverman: A♥A♠ All in
Junya Matsueda: Q♦Q♥

Silverman was poised in a prime position to score a boatload of chips with his aces, but his heart sank as the flop came out 3♥Q♣2♦ to give Matsueda a huge lead with top set of queens. And just in case there was still hope for his opponents, it disappeared quickly as the fourth Q♠ rolled off on the turn to leave them dead in the water. The river 4♥ was just a formality as the monstrous pot was shipped to Matsued to catapult him into the chip lead.

Nível 33 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Men Nguyen moved all in for 2,875,000 from the button and was looked up by Michael Megison, in the small blind.

Men Nguyen: K♥J♥ All in
Michael Megison: A♥Q♦

The board ran out Q♥K♣4♦10♣A♦ giving Megison two pair to prompt a celebration. Nguyen, rechecking the board, had to point out to Megison that his two pair were no good against his rivered straight, ensuring Nguyen the full double up. Nguyen told Megison that his celebration had convinced him he'd in fact lost the pot.

Nível 33 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Michael Maddocks moved all in preflop for 2,850,000 and then Antonis Poulengeris called for less right behind, which brought the action over to Andy Chen in the big blind.

"Ok, let's go!" He announced as he tossed in chips after thinking it over for a few moments, putting both opponents at risk.

Antonis Poulengeris: K♥10♣ All in
Michael Maddocks: A♠10♠ All in
Andy Chen: 5♥5♦

Chen was a favorite going in with his pocket pair and with the fact his opponents were sharing outs, and the runout of 8♥2♥8♣7♠4♠ kept it that way to score him the pot along with the double knockout.

Nível 33 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Billy Swaringen moved all in from early position for approximately 4,000,000 and Antoine Polido, in the big blind, called off the bet for less.

Antoine Polido: 10♠10♣ All in
Billy Swaringen: A♦4♦

Polido was ahead but the 2♦3♠4♠ flop gave Swaringen both a pair and a straight draw. The Q♠ turn changed nothing but the 5♥ river completed Swaringen's straight and sent Polido to the rail.

Nível 33 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

In the first hand of play, Florence Mazet open-shoved for 3,775,000 and then Shane Hall moved all in over the top for 5,750,000. Although it took some time, one by one the rest of the table regrettably got out of the way and the cards were tabled.

Florence Mazet: K♥Q♣ All in
Shane Hall: A♦J♦

Mazet would need to improve to stay alive, but the runout of 6♣6♦7♦7♥J♣ only improved Hall and she was sent to the rail early in Day 3.
