This week for episode number 717 of the RecPoker Podcast Jim Reid and the RecPoker RECing Crew interview Cory Waaland! Cory pulls no punches as he talks about his time as a poker pro, some difficult challenges he’s faced in his life, the importance of his religious faith, his new role as a musician, what he still loves about poker, and more!

We also Open The Action with our speed round, and we play Stake/Study Stack with “Bet on Drew”, Jeff Madsen, Brian Devonshire.

Plus of course we raffle away a free prize at the end for folks in the YouTube chat, to help support a local food bank. Join us LIVE on YouTube next Monday at 7:30 ET for free to ask our guests questions in real time, and you can win too!
