This week Jim Reid and the RecPoker RECing Crew welcome Kevin Mathers back on the show to talk about all things WSOP! There were multiple technical issues with the audio of Kevin’s interview, unfortunately, so bear with us if there are some abrupt cuts here or there as we find our footing at the start - Kevin rejoins the panel via cell phone with a much clearer signal shortly, and we cover some really helpful topics like: what you CANNOT forget when packing for Las Vegas, what you MUST do before you are ready to register for any WSOP tournament, the best ways to handle your actual physical bankroll before you enter and after you win, and a lot more! Plus of course we give away a free prize at the end for folks in the YouTube chat. Join us on YouTube next Monday at 7:30 ET for free to ask our guests questions in real time, and you can win too!
