286. Steve Preiss (VP, PokerStars North America) and WCOOP update with Howard Swains

Poker in the Ears

Big things are happening in the USA. The inaugural #NACOOP has been a huge success. Maria Konnikova, author of 'The Biggest Bluff', is returning as an ambassador. The North American Poker Tour is coming back after more than a decade. So, James and Joe bring Steve Preiss, VP of PokerStars North America, onto the podcast to talk about what players can expect at #NAPTLasVegas (November 4-12 at Resorts World Las Vegas), his plans and ideas for the coming months, and the prospect of more states and provinces regulating online poker. Plus, as the 2023 World Championship of Online Poker enters the home straight, #WCOOP Correspondent Howard Swains provides a summary of the latest headlines (spoiler alert: Benny Glaser continues to dominate the agenda). And London taxi driver Mark Johnston is not giving away his shot. He competes for a Bronze Power Pass, answering questions about the musical 'Hamilton' in 'Superfan vs Stapes'.
