Chapter 4 Ep. 43 Poker History and Heartbreak

This week on the Ante Up Poker Podcast, Joe sits down with Philip Guitar and Jim Martyka, co-authors of Poker Wars, to explore the colorful characters, dangerous rivalries, and wild stories that helped shape the World Series of Poker.

In Call the Floor, Joe brings a situation from the tables for Elliott to weigh in on. Then, in Hand of the Week, Patrick and Joe revisit a hand from the early days of the poker boom, where an unlikely starting hand leads to some big decisions and an unforgettable showdown.

Finally, in Joe’s One Outer, after a couple of brutal tournament exits, Elle asks a question every tournament player has probably wondered: Why do we keep coming back when the odds of winning are so low?
