AUG. 13 POKERCAST RECAP: In a very special episode, we interview Ben Erwin, Thunder Valley Casino Resort Director of Poker Operations. It's our first interview on the show in years, and what an interview it was as we discuss the upcoming Ante Up World Championship, which begins this week! Our normal show will return next week.

This week Elle and I recap the Camp One Step Charity Tournament. We also stop off to play a little poker at Play Poker Chicago. Elliott rules on whether tournament chips should be blinded out or if it's more important to get someone off the waiting list. Patrick and I break down a tournament hand with A8 suited. We recorded this one from the car so the audio isn't great. Then I end the show talking about small improvements over time.
