Episode 230 – 11/11/2021 – Casino Royale with Dr Tom Sambrook

This episode of the podcast is dedicated to #CasinoRoyale, the film in which James Bond plays poker. To celebrate the movie's 15th anniversary, James and Joe take a retrospective look at Daniel Craig's first outing as Bond, and debate whether it's the best film in the series. They also break down 'Casino Royale's Hold'em scenes with the movie's poker advisor Dr Tom Sambrook, including analysis of the (controversial) final hand, courtesy of Tom's notes from the shoot, detailing stack sizes, positions and the (never before revealed) pre-flop and flop action! Plus, 007 #PITE listeners win 007 prizes for posting their reviews of the film on Discord (psta.rs/Discord), and it's the subject of this week's Superfan quiz, as Liam Devine from the UK aims to win a tournament ticket and PokerStars merch.
