In a three-bet pot with around 400,000 chips in the middle, Aaron Pinson and Sean Ragozzini both checked the 6?3?7? flop.
The J? turn was also checked through to the K? river where Pinson led out for 300,000. Ragozzini considered his options and elected to lay his hand down.
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.
For the sixth episode, Connor spoke with longtime poker pro and coach Faraz Jaka, who was fresh off a runner-up finish in the World Series of Poker (WSOP) $25,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em Championship. Jaka talked about running up a six-figure bankroll in college, going broke and moving down stakes, battling back from a debilitating back injury to win his first bracelet in 2023 and running deep in this year's $25,000 Heads-Up Championship.
Jaka also talked about his site Jaka Coaching, discussed what makes a good poker coach and offered advice for players looking to grind the WSOP this summer.
On a flop of 8?4?4?, Kyriakos Papadopoulos checked, James Davidson bet 85,000, and Papadopoulos raised to 235,000. Davidson thought about it for a while before he grabbed a bunch of chips and made a three-bet to around 600,000, which got Papadopoulos to snap fold.
Daniel Strelitz raised it up to 60,000 from early position. Matthew Rosen three-bet to 185,000 from the hijack. Vitor Dzivielevski then four-bet to 425,000 from the button. Strelitz got out of the way quickly and Rosen took a few moments before he called.
The flop came 9?J?5?. Dzivielevski continued for 500,000 and Rosen folded after a few seconds.
