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.
Hael Al Labani opened to 4,500 from middle position, and was faced with a three-bet to 13,000 by Piotr Zapolski on the button.
Eric Fischer in the small blind pondered the spot, and then cold four-bet jammed for 62,500. Al Labani then moved all in for around 100,000, forcing out Zapolski.
Eric Fischer: A♥A♣
Hael Al Labani: A♦K♠
Fischer had woken up with aces and Al Labani had ran straight into them with ace-king, the 3♠3♦6♠4♥J♠ runout failing to provide him with an unlikely escape, sending Fischer a nice pot.
