328. Co-host Spraggy, plus YouTuber Spencer Owen

Welcome to 2025. Part 2. The duo becomes a trio, as James and Joe partner with Benjamin 'Spraggy' Spragg to present this week's episode. They talk about Spraggy's trip to Brazil to play high stakes Hold'em against Neymar, the New Year Series on PokerStars, and celebrate Spraggy hitting 100,000 subscribers on YouTube. On a related note, the guys are joined by YouTuber Spencer Owen to get the lowdown on the Creator's Cup. Spencer reveals what he's learned about poker so far and showcases his knowledge of creators in Joe's stupid game. 'Hand of the Century of the Day' focuses on James getting owned by the other Spragg (Marle) in a cash game at The Hippodrome. Finally, Steve Macintosh from Chester in the UK competes for a Bronze #PowerPass in 'Superfan vs Stapes', answering questions about 'The 51st State'.

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.
