Philip Wiszowaty limped in the hijack, David Peters completed in the small blind and Ben Lamb checked in the big blind.
The flop came 10♣8♠5♠, Peters and Lamb checked, Wiszowaty bet 20,000, Peters folded, and Lamb called.
The turn landed the 8♦ and action went check-check to the Q♥ river. Lamb check-raised to 220,000 over Wiszowaty's bet of 50,000 and Wiszowaty thought for a moment before flicking in the call.
Lamb turned over Q♦8♥ for a full house, eights full of queens, and Wiszowaty mucked his hand.
With over 100,000 in the middle, action went four-ways to the turn with the board reading 9♦K♥Q♦6♠.
Both the players in the blinds checked, Scott Seiver, who was under the gun, bet 70,000 and Brandon Wittmeyer, who was in early position, made the call. Both players in the blinds got out of the way.
On the J♥ river, Seiver bet 12,000 and after a moment of thought, Wittmeyer moved all in, putting Seiver at risk.
Seiver thought through his decision, ultimately giving up his hand.
Jake Schindler moved all in from the cutoff for 27,000. Michael Rocco raised to 42,000 from the button and Christoph Vogelsang called out of the big blind.
Vogelsang check-called a bet of 30,000 from Rocco on the Q♥6♦J♥ flop.
The turn came the 5♥ which saw Vogelsang check-fold to a bet of 70,000 from Rocco.
Jake Schindler: A♥K♣
Michael Rocco: A♣6♥
The river came the 5♣ which meant Rocco's pair of sixes would send Schindler to rail.
Nacho Barbero moved all in for his last 93,000 from the cutoff and Koray Aldemir, in the small blind, made the call.
Nacho Barbero: A♥9♣
Koray Aldemir: 10♦10♥
Barbero was behind the pocket pair of Aldemir, however, the A♦5♠4♠ flop reversed their fates. The J♥ turn and Q♣ river saw Aldemir's tens cracked to double up Barbero.
Dominik Nitsche bet 27,000 on the flop of 8♠2♥2♦ with Anthony Zinno making the call from the small blind.
Both players checked the 4♣ turn to see the Q♥ come on the river. Zinno led out for a minimum bet of 12,000, which was met with a raise to 85,000 from Nitsche. Zinno mulled it over briefly before making the call.
Nitsche turned over A♦10♦ for just ace-high. Zinno showed A♥4♥ for a pair of fours to take down the pot.
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 eighth episode, Connor speaks with legendary UFC ring announcer Bruce Buffer in an exclusive in-depth interview after Buffer's deep run in the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) $50,000 High Roller. Buffer, a longtime poker player, finished in eighth place for a career-best $212,423 after kicking off Day 3 with his trademark "it's time" introduction.
Buffer talked about finding his long-lost half-brother, Michael Buffer, and becoming his manager, the early days of the UFC, the similarities between poker and martial arts, his relationships with Joe Rogan and Dana White, playing poker with Tobey Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio and the time he injured himself in a poker tournament before announcing the biggest UFC fight in history.
