The podcast is back, and is now on Discord! Join the conversation: psta.rs/Discord. During the summer months, Joe travelled to Foxwoods for a live poker session and battled Nate Silver at the online tables. Now, the boys are focussed on #WCOOP2021. The 20th edition of the World Championship of Online Poker starts on Sunday 22nd August, with live cards-up coverage on the PokerStars Twitch and YouTube channels. James and Joe run through the schedule and talk to streamer Mason 'pyefacepoker' Pye (founder and leader of the Mixed Games Movement) about his broadcasts of non-Hold'em events. In a new segment called 'Can I Get a Ruling?', judgement is passed on the validity of the 7-2 game. And, in 'Superfan vs Stapes', Ben File demonstrates his knowledge of the UK poker legend Devilfish as he competes for a $109 WCOOP ticket. Please don't forget to like and subscribe. #PITE

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.
