Episode 103: Randy Sadler — aka 3 Coin — walked into the studio and delivered one of the most unexpectedly electric Table 1 episodes we’ve ever filmed.

This one has everything:

• 🔥 The origin story of 3 Coin and how a Dallas cash-game needle turned into a full-blown brand
• 🔥 Growing up around East Texas gambling culture (cigar smoke, poker rooms, and gold coins)
• 🔥 His rise as one of the most entertaining characters in streamed poker
• 🔥 Getting hustled, getting even, and the legendary $5k cruise-ship flip incident
• 🔥 The real story of selling his family’s company for hundreds of millions
• 🔥 Sobriety, second acts, fashion lines, and chasing the million-dollar game
• 🔥 Why he believes poker is the great equalizer — and why he’ll always be a “Joe sitting with the pros”

It’s funny, wild, emotional, and pure 3 Coin energy the entire way through.
If you want stories, lessons, and laugh-so-hard-you-snort moments… this is your episode.

This week we sat down with someone who’s doing for funny poker content what we’re trying to do for fun poker games — the one and only Caitlin Comeskey.

And buckle up… because this episode starts with Art butchering the intro, devolves into a table full of losers from our Venetian takeover, and somehow ends with ketamine stories, burlesque confessions, the Jack-4 sketch that blew her up, and why PokerStars literally called her out of the blue to sign her.

In this episode we get into:

• 🔥 Her viral “Jack-4” moment — how an impulsive Halloween wig run basically changed her life
• 🔥 Playing No Gamble No Future with Stapes & Justin… and saying jokes they couldn’t air
• 🔥 Why she was a theatre-kid-turned-NYU-acting-major-turned-burlesque-host-turned-Texas-poker-DJ
• 🔥 The surprising way she met her husband (shoutout to Colleen 5/10/25)
• 🔥 The early Texas poker boom and what the games were REALLY like back then
• 🔥 Getting signed by PokerStars — and why it didn’t feel real at first
• 🔥 Her thoughts on ladies events, the Santa Claus incident, and why some players desperately need a “vibe check”
• 🔥 Mixed games, Raz pain, Big O chaos, and why everyone in poker is too healthy now
• 🔥 The exact moment she decided to bet on content instead of cash games
• 🔥 What’s next for Caitlin — streaming, comedy, Jersey life, and forcing us into a TikTok dance

We also talk a lot about Vegas self-loathing, Greyhounds, the death of degeneracy in tournament poker, and why Justin keeps ending up at Five Guys after busting events.

If you like poker with personality — not the silent-hoodie GTO Olympics — this one’s for you.

Before he was behind the mic on the World Poker Tour, Tony was just another online grinder trying to survive. He went from living broke in China with a $2,800 bankroll, to getting banned from Australia, to waking up one morning after Black Friday completely broke — and somehow, turned it all around.

This episode dives into the real story behind the suit:

• 🎙 How Tony went from staking makeup to hair & makeup on the WPT
• 💸 What it feels like to be $300K in makeup — and finally dig out
• 🧳 The insane story of getting banned from Australia
• ♠️ Why “not caring too much” resulted in a breakout 2016

Now he’s one of poker’s most recognizable voices... but the journey there is anything but smooth.

If you love stories about redemption, risk, and what it really takes to make it in poker, this one’s a must-watch.

In this episode of The Table 1 Podcast, Art Parmann and Justin Young sit down with renowned poker pro Ryan LaPlante for an unfiltered deep dive into the grinder’s life.

Ryan opens up about sneaking online poker sessions as a teen, the “Moneymaker effect,” and how dropping out of college set him on the path to poker stardom. He discusses moving across North America to chase the dream, overcoming challenges growing up gay in a traditional environment, and building community through forums and coaching.

You’ll hear candid insights into tournament swings—odd jobs, finding stable internet, and bankroll variance. Ryan breaks down the backing model, why coaching became both passion and safety net, and why multiple income streams matter for today’s pros.

The conversation gets personal: being an openly gay figure in poker, balancing business ventures and mentorship, and future aspirations beyond the felt. We close with goals for the next chapter, inside stories about his bracelet win, and advice for grinders navigating an ever-changing industry.

Episode 98: Cary Katz

In this episode of The Table 1 Podcast, Art Parmann and Justin Young sit down with poker legend and PokerGO founder Cary Katz — one of the few players who pretty much invented high roller tournaments. Cary opens up about everything from launching a $20 billion student loan empire to accidentally starting the high roller poker boom.

Why he trademarked “Embrace the Tism,” and how he made 75 of his employees millionaires. You’ll hear stories about the origins of PokerGO, backing Bryn Kenney through his insane heater, and the real reason he plays poker today. It’s one of the most candid, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt conversations we’ve ever had at Table 1.

Jeff Boski didn’t plan on being a YouTuber. He just wanted his mom to see what poker life looked like.
But that small idea turned into 100,000+ fans, sponsorships, and a front-row seat in the high-stakes world.

In this episode, Boski talks about:

• 🎥 How vlogging for one person turned into a full-time audience
• 💰 The scrappy hustles that got him free meals, deals, and a poker sponsorship
• 😅 20 years of WSOP pain — and why he keeps showing up
• ♠️ What poker really looks like when you live it every day

This is the story of a guy who proved that sometimes, all you need to do is ask.

Grew up outside Philly. Played lacrosse at Penn State. Obsessed over Counter-Strike.

Accidentally turned a Puerto Rico casino trip into an $8k “beer money” bankroll.

By senior year of college? $150k in his poker account.

Six months later? Nearly dusted it. Then hit for $60k at PCA and never looked back.

John has lived the full poker arc: Black Friday moves to Toronto, huge scores in Europe (including tilting Luke Schwartz in Prague), New York DJ lifestyle, Bay Area private games… and now? He’s running A5 Labs, a 200-person tech team building AI that hunts bots and collusion across online poker.

This episode is funny, wild, and brutally honest. It’s about how obsession becomes opportunity, how every poker player eventually faces the “what’s next” moment, and how John turned his into a career shaping the entire industry.
