Episode 224 – 23/09/2021 – Benjamin 'bencb789' Rolle

James and Joe run through some recent developments in the poker world, including the sighting of an EPT champion at the US Open Tennis final and the signing of Benjamin 'bencb789' Rolle to the Team Pro roster. Ben is the guest on this week's podcast, and talks about his career as a player and coach, what makes a good poker teacher (and student), and how he tried and failed to become a PokerStars ambassador several years ago! Following their interview with Ben, the boys respond to a question on Discord, and go behind-the-scenes on the recent #WCOOP streams, revealing how they prepare for a broadcast and what happens in the minutes/hours leading up to the stream going live. Finally, Doyle Brunson's classic poker strategy book 'Super/System' is the subject of this week's Superfan quiz, with Demetrios Lambros from Atlanta, Georgia competing for prizes.

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.
