254. WCOOP 2022 double-champ Benny 'RunGodlike' Glaser + Howard Swains

Three weeks into the 2022 World Championship of Online Poker, James and Joe take stock of the series so far with Howard Swains from the PokerStars Blog. Plus, they speak to UK pro Benny 'RunGodlike' Glaser, who's having a solid #WCOOP: at the time of recording, he's won two trophies and has come second in five other events, making him a strong contender for Player of the Series. There's also some (amateurish) strat talk, as James tries to get his head around a hand that Joe played in a recent live tournament. Finally, Irish podcast listener Bennet Griffin goes for glory in 'Superfan vs Stapes', answering questions about the 1969 movie 'The Wild Bunch'.

Om Podcasten

Every week, the hosts of PokerStars TV (James Hartigan and Joe Stapleton) bring you a behind-the-scenes look at what it's like being two regular folks on the international poker circuit. Told from the perspective of a cranky British dad (Hartigan) and an undateable American bachelor (Stapes), Poker in the Ears is a mostly uncensored take on the world of professional poker. The hosts also regularly call in favours, in the form of guest spots from their big-shot celebrity poker-playing friends. And they routinely hold on-air competitions, providing chances for listeners to join them on tour.
