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.

The Life Outside Poker podcast is available on major streaming platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and iHeartRadio. You can also watch the interview with Tyler Todt by heading to the PokerNews YouTube channel.

Niveau 29 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Juha Helppi opened to 1,000,000 in the cutoff with K♦J♠10♥10♦ and Brian Rast called in the big blind holding K♥J♦3♦2♥.

The flop came 4♥A♥10♠, prompting Rast to check. Helppi continued for 1,000,000 with his set of tens only to see Rast raise to 5,450,000. Helppi responded by moving all in for 13,100,000 and Rast quickly called with the marginally larger stack to put his opponent at risk.

Juha Helppi: K♦J♠10♥10♦ All in
Brian Rast: K♥J♦3♦2♥

Helppi was ahead and remained so on the 9♠ turn. The 5♣ river, however, improved Rast to a wheel to send Helppi out in 5th place in brutal fashion.

David Eldridge called from the small blind with K♣J♥8♦2♥ and Juha Helppi checked his option in the big blind with A♦10♠7♦2♣.

Helppi called a 500,000 bet from Eldridge on the 9♠4♦7♠ flop and then Eldridge check-called a 1,200,000 bet from Helppi on the Q♥ turn.

The 2♠ completed the board and Eldridge bluffed for 3,500,000.

Helppi tanked for some time, but eventually stuck in a call with his two pair to take down the sizable pot.

David Eldridge limped on the button holding K♦Q♥9♣6♠ and Juha Helppi called in the small blind with A♥K♣5♥5♦. Ethan Cahn then checked his option out of the big blind with A♣K♠7♣6♥ to send action three-way to the flop.

All three players checked through the 3♠8♠2♣ flop to the 4♦ turn at which point Helppi checked again, having made a wheel. Cahn took the opportunity to fire off 900,000. Eldridge quickly got out of the way while Helppi opted for a call.

The 7♠ river saw Helppi check once more. Cahn continued his bluff by betting 2,500,000. Helppi considered for a moment, then laid down the best hand to take a hit to his stack.

Brian Rast called from the small blind and David Eldridge raised to 900,000 from the big blind. Rast called.

Rast checked to Eldridge on the 6♥K♠2♣ flop and Eldridge bet 1,000,000. Rast then check-raised to 2,500,000 and Eldridge put Rast all in for a bit over 6,000,000. Rast called and a showdown was held.

Brian Rast: K♦Q♠6♠2♦ All in
David Eldridge: A♥A♦2♠2♥

Rast was in rough shape against Eldridge's bottom set, but the J♠3♠ runout gave Rast a runner-runner flush for the double up.

Niveau 29 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

David Eldridge opened to 900,000 from middle position with J♠9♥9♣7♣ and Yang Wang defended in the big blind holding A♠9♠6♦2♦.

Wang checked following the 4♦A♦K♠ flop before calling a 1,800,000 continuation from Eldridge.

Both players checked through the 10♠ turn to the 2♥ river at which point Wang checked once more. Eldridge, with little to no showdown value, bet out a chunky 4,500,000. Wang did not think for too long before mucking his hand to send a sizable pot over to Eldridge.

WATCH: POY Controversy? Seiver Wins 3rd Bracelet of Summer & Joey Ingram is a Wizard | PokerNews Podcast #843

Niveau 29 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

In the 843rd episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway and Kyna England are joined at Level 9 Studio by Joey Ingram, who served as special co-host to talk about the latest happenings at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) as well as his new partnership with GTO Wizard.

The biggest story is that of Scott Seiver, who captured his third bracelet of the summer and became just the seventh player in history to win three bracelets in the same year. Could he make history by becoming the only player to win four? He has two more weeks to do it.

Despite winning three bracelets, you might be surprised to learn that Seiver is far from a lock to win the 2024 WSOP Player of the Year; in fact, Jeremy Ausmus, who hasn't won a bracelet this summer, isn't too far behind in points thanks to a bevy of final table appearances. Would a non-bracelet winner winning POY over a three-time winner cause a controversy? The crew discusses that very possibility.

Chad then shares pictures and videos from the exclusive Global Poker party that took place at PokerGO Studio on Sunday night, while Ingram opens up about all things GTO Wizard. As usual, you'll also get your dose of other WSOP bracelet winners and a $25K Fantasy update. Oh, and did we mention talk about Daniel Negreanu, Nick Schulman, and Phil Ivey? Because that's all in there too.

A new PokerNews Podcast will drop twice weekly during the 2024 WSOP every Tuesday and Friday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time. Make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you do not miss an episode!
