The boys start this week’s podcast with a few movie and TV reviews, and Joe has details of another losing session in a Hollywood home game. He also tells the tale of an unnecessary road trip across Florida caused by a gap in his geographical knowledge. Talking of Florida, James and Joe run through the winners of the “Big Four” at the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open, and speak to the champion of the $2,650 event, Jessica Dawley. Jessica is a US Air Force veteran and pro player who has some interesting thoughts on how the poker world needs to evolve to bring more women into the game. There’s a preview of next week’s #EPTBarcelona live stream, including info on the special ‘Chase Your Dream’ event taking place on Tuesday 27th August. And James Read from the UK picks ‘Shaun of the Dead’ as his specialist subject as he competes for an #EPTOpenSochi satellite ticket in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. Please rate, review and subscribe to #PokerInTheEars. Next episode: Thursday 12th September 2019.

Episode 158 – 22/08/2019 – Jessica Dawley

Winner of the 2021 Global Poker Award for Best Poker Podcast, Poker in the Ears takes you behind-the-scenes of the international poker circuit. Hosted by PokerStars commentators James Hartigan and Joe Stapleton, it’s a mostly uncensored take on the world of poker, told from the perspective of a cranky British dad (Hartigan) and an undateable American bachelor (Stapes). The presenters 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 win prizes.
