315. The EPT at 20 with John Duthie

James and Joe celebrate the 20th anniversary of the European Poker Tour with its founder John Duthie. In an extended interview, John talks about his journey into the television industry, discovering poker in the 1980s, winning the first ever Poker Million, and seeing an opportunity to launch the EPT when the World Poker Tour didn't live up to its name. He also discusses some of the darker chapters in his life, and the business decisions he made that ultimately led to him losing control of the tour.
