Joe is finally back in LA…just for a few days, before setting off for Run It Up Reno. He and James kick off this week's podcast with a few TV and movie reviews (03:55), before recapping Joe's gig in Estonia working on the 'Patrik Antonius Poker Challenge', and partying at McDonald's with Patrik (12:10)! In the wake of the Global Poker Awards in Las Vegas, the boys are joined by Broadcaster of the Year Maria Ho (20:40), who – in a rare strategy segment – provides in-depth analysis of the key hands Joe played during his recent deep run in the Bay 101 Shooting Star event (26:40). Finally, 'Tropic Thunder' is the theme of 'Superfan vs Stapes' (47:20), as Chris Hatton from Stroud in the UK competes for an #EPTMonteCarlo satellite ticket.
