This week, we are locked in and busting out the champagne after our second nomination for Best Podcast at the GPI Global Poker Awards. Who better to help us celebrate but our trusted newsman Ian Simpson who is also celebrating his very profitable return to the live felt.

Ian made two final tables in London last week on his first poker outing in over two years. We chat to him about poker in Covid-times and mental game.

There is a conversation about the latest poker ambassadors coming from the entertainment and sporting world. Dara and David weigh in on the upcoming heads-up duels between Phil Hellmuth and Tom Dwan, and Alex O'Brien and Vanessa Kade.

In the last section of the show, there is a chat about the GPI Global Poker Award nominations as the trio pontificate on what is done well and what could be done better.
