312. Kenny Hallaert

For their second summer special, James and Joe talk to the newest PokerStars ambassador: Belgian poker pro, former WSOP finalist and tournament director Kenny Hallaert. Kenny started his poker journey as an online grinder nearly 20 years ago. He's since organised and run live events in his home country, has worked as a floor person for the EPT, is a member of the Tournament Director's Association, and is well known for compiling a comprehensive list of all tournaments running in Las Vegas during the summer months. Also on this episode, James recounts a hand history (aka: bad beat) from the first weekend of the World Series of Poker. And, with 'The Big Game on Tour' returning to TV screens on Friday July 26th, the guys recap the key hands and stories from the first table. Next podcast: August 15th.

Om Podcasten

Every week, the hosts of PokerStars TV (James Hartigan and Joe Stapleton) bring you a behind-the-scenes look at what it's like being two regular folks on the international poker circuit. Told from the perspective of a cranky British dad (Hartigan) and an undateable American bachelor (Stapes), Poker in the Ears is a mostly uncensored take on the world of professional poker. The hosts also regularly call in favours, in the form of guest spots from their big-shot celebrity poker-playing friends. And they routinely hold on-air competitions, providing chances for listeners to join them on tour.
