Episode 230 – 11/11/2021 – Casino Royale with Dr Tom Sambrook

This episode of the podcast is dedicated to #CasinoRoyale, the film in which James Bond plays poker. To celebrate the movie's 15th anniversary, James and Joe take a retrospective look at Daniel Craig's first outing as Bond, and debate whether it's the best film in the series. They also break down 'Casino Royale's Hold'em scenes with the movie's poker advisor Dr Tom Sambrook, including analysis of the (controversial) final hand, courtesy of Tom's notes from the shoot, detailing stack sizes, positions and the (never before revealed) pre-flop and flop action! Plus, 007 #PITE listeners win 007 prizes for posting their reviews of the film on Discord (psta.rs/Discord), and it's the subject of this week's Superfan quiz, as Liam Devine from the UK aims to win a tournament ticket and PokerStars merch.

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.
