The hijack raised to 800. Kevin Andriamahefa three-bet it to 3,500 from the button and the hijack came alone with the call.
The flop came down K♦Q♣4♥. Andriamahefa continued for 2,200 which got his opponent to fold fairly swiftly as the recent WSOP circuit Grand Victoria main event champion took the modest early 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 and the time he injured himself in a poker tournament before announcing the biggest UFC fight in history.
This interview was filmed at the 2024 WSOP inside Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
Action was caught on the turn on the board 3♣5♣Q♦2♠. Fangxiao Zhang checked in the big blind. Eric Stangel bet 2,000 on the cutoff, and Zhang raised to 5,000. Stangel called.
The river was the 8♠ and Zhang now bet 12,000, which was about the size of the pot. After some thinking Stangel called and saw the bad news, his opponent had turned the set with 2♣2♦.
