This week we are locked in and eating out with math teacher turned poker player turned start-up wizard Josh Abady.

Josh tell us all about his exciting new food app ‘manna’ before we tuck into the latest poker news, gossip and scandal.

The lads discuss the recent heads-up duel between Hellmuth and Dwan, pondering how the structure means a 7-figure match in the horizon. They also discuss the charity match between Vanessa Kade and Alex O’Brien.

From that the conversation turns to ‘High Stakes Poker’ about which David has one of his rants and the GPI awards, where the lads focus on the wins of Christian Zetzsche and Kevin Mathers, both stalwarts of the poker community. There is also lots of love for Greg ‘Greg Goes All-In’ Liow who everyone agrees represents the direction that poker content needs to go.

Next up is Doug Polk’s ‘Best 100 Players’ podcast and the impossibility of compiling such a list. Dara talks about his recent article on why people lose in poker and Josh weighs in on what he thinks stops people from getting better.

The upcoming spate of live poker is met with a mix of excitement and trepidation from Dara and David as ‘Leaky Lappin’ almost spills the beans on Unibet’s yet to be announced partnerships.

David signs off with a reminder about the Unibet Open Online but not before Josh takes the piss out of his good friend and future Chip Race guest Ryan Leng!
