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.
