This week, we are locked in to Jack Sinclair’s closet as we delve into the latest news, gossip and scandal.

Predictions (accurate ones as it turned out) are made for the WSOPE Final Table which leads the lads into a discussion on how to make the European leg of the WSOP more popular.

The current GPI rankings are analysed as Jesse Lonis fends off challenges from Adrian Mateos and Mike Watson to hold onto top spot for a 20th consecutive week. David asks Jack and Dara to rank themselves in the all-time UK and Irish list.

The lads discuss playing to study rations and downswings, offering some advice for how to cope with them. David thinks that Jack is daring Dara to play Tritons but is he?

The show ends with a deep dive into the recent articles by Kit Chellel, Jonathan Raab and David on the recent Russian botfarm scandal as the lads all express concern for the idea that in-house bots are being deployed by some poker sites.

The lads then segue to the EPT Monte Carlo and a pair of controversies at the Main Event final table, before wrapping things up with a preview of the last ever episode of The Chip Race coming next week.…

This week, the lads are locked in with poker player, marketeer and Party-Gammon, Kat Arnsby! After briefly discussing Kat’s imminent departure from Kindred, the trio dig up a controversial story from the end of 2024, namely Bonomo getting threatened with WSOP Super Main Event disqualification for wearing a keffiyeh. Kat highlights the hypocrisy of the WSOP who days earlier had run a tournament for the widows and orphans of fallen IDF soldiers. Barny Boatman’s heartfelt statement and generous auctioning of his first WSOP bracelet is also given some consideration. The conversation then turns to the Global Poker Awards with everyone weighing in on some of the most nominated people. The promise of a more full breakdown of each and every category is made for the next episode (which by the way will be from the Unibet Deepstack Open Barcelona). The discussion turns to the issue of poker-bots, specifically in-house poker bots as David plays a clip from the Sigma Panel at which both he and Kat spoke late last year. From that leaping off point, Dara weighs in with his strong take that liquidity bits of this nature would be terrible for the game. Kat defends her position that they can be a positive thing so long as sites are transparent. Nobody changes anyone else’s mind but the debate is held in good spirits and certainly provides both perspectives of a complicated issue. Before closing the curtain on a lively episode, David plugs the upcoming Dublin Poker Festival, for which Unibet Poker is running qualifiers - €50 satellites into both the €570 European Deepstacks and the €350 ACOP.…
