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

In a small blind versus big blind confrontation, Joseph Bold was all in for around 3,500,000 against the bigger-stacked Alex Keating to his right.
Joseph Bold: A♣K♦
Alex Keating: 10♥10♣
The flop of 3♠4♦10♦ left Bold drawing thin as Keating made a set, and the runout of 9♠K♠ confirmed his elimination despite making a pair of kings.

Iaron Lightbourne raised to 200,000 on the button, Abdullah Al-Shanti three-bet to 600,000 in the big blind, and Lightbourne called.
Al-Shanti checked the J♦10♥7♣ flop and Lightbourne bet 600,000. Al-Shanti then raised to 2,000,000 and Lightbourne instantly moved all in.
Al-Shanti checked with the floor to determine how many players were left as he faced with a decision for his last 250,000. "I'll give you four minutes," Lightbourne said.
"Why didn't you four-bet?" Al-Shanti asked.
"I have pocket sevens," Lightbourne replied, before being warned not to talk about the hand. Lightbourne eventually called the clock and Al-Shanti allowed the countdown to nearly reach zero before calling.
"If you really have pocket sevens, I'm dead," he said as the cards were revealed.
Abdullah Al-Shanti: A♥J♣
Iaron Lightbourne: 7♠7♥
Lightbourne did, indeed, show down a set and Al-Shanti was left drawing only to running cards. The 6♠ fell on the turn and he was drawing dead before the A♠ fell on the river.
After the hand, a tournament official gave Lightbourne a one-round penalty for revealing his hand with action still in progress.
