329. Jason Koon

Meet Jason Koon. He's a high stakes crusher with $60m in live earnings and one of the newest members of Team PokerStars Pro. In an extended interview, Jason talks to James and Joe about his start in poker and his journey towards playing the biggest buy-in tournaments in the world. Plus, he gives his take on AI and RTA software and the controversy surrounding Nacho Barbero's social media "goof.” Jason also provides analysis of a hand played/butchered by Joe at RunGood Tulsa in 'Hand of the Century of the Day'. And, as if all that wasn't enough, Jason Koon happens to be the subject of this week's Superfan quiz, with Ashok Sharma from the UK trying to win a Bronze #PowerPass.

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.
