Poker Beat Extra

For those who missed our debut special-for-the-WSOP Monday episode live, here\’s the podcast … where The Poker Beat crew waxes poetic about Phil Ivey\’s bracelet, Daniel Negreanu\’s non-bracelet, non-Finnish national anthems, Ladies events, what makes an \”online\” player, and Joe Sebok\’s lie detector prop bet over his knowledge of Beth Shak\’s marital status or lack thereof. Also, Chops shows up to declare this World Series the \”Year of the Brother\” … or maybe it\’s the Year of \”tha Brothah\” … but either way, leave it to the Entities to celebrate poker in all its multicultural greatness.

This episode, btw, marks my personal umpteenth appearance on The Poker Beat — making me the \”last man standing\” amongst hosts and panelists (Go free labor!) and the only guy to appear on every episode since the show\’s inception. While that factoid may mark a certain pathos, I\’d also like to point out that I am the only one — even with all those extra minutes — who has yet to be called out by the Insider for a factual misstatement.

That\’s not to say I haven\’t made any errors — made a big one about something really important a month ago, but I guess it just slipped by our wheezey, phlegmy ombudsman.
