Life Outside Poker w/ Connor Richards

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 17th episode, Connor speaks with Scottish poker pro and Triple Crown winner Niall Farrell about studying law, winning the Triple Crown in less than three years, "Firaldo After Dark" streams during lockdown and a new BBC documentary The Four Rules of the Poker Kings that follows Farrell's poker journey.

"Firaldo" also breaks down an iconic hand he played in the 2017 WSOP Europe Main Event that resulted in him getting Maria Ho to fold a set.

This interview was filmed in Barcelona during the 2024 PokerStars EPT Barcelona festival at Casino Barcelona.
