Episode 231 – 18/11/2021 – The Big 20 (Part 1) with Colin Murray, Luca Pagano and Terrence Chan

James and Joe are celebrating #TheBig20 – the 20th anniversary of PokerStars – with a series of episodes looking back at two decades of poker history. In this show, they talk about the launch of PokerStars in 2001 with one of the first people hired by founders Isai and Mark Scheinberg: poker player, podcaster, MMA fighter and former customer support head Terrence Chan. They also discuss the birth of the European Poker Tour in 2004 with the original voice of the EPT: radio and TV presenter Colin Murray. Plus, they catch up with one of the OGs of the tour: seven-time EPT finalist and serial casher Luca Pagano.

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.
