The Quadruple-Crown: WSOP, WPT, EPT And...The Rail???

Congratulations on a year well lived! (Or if it was poorly lived at least you made it to the finish line)

If you’re new around here, each week we get unfiltered access to some of the brightest minds in poker. And we don’t hesitate to ask them the stuff we all care about. The money, the scandals, the journey. Everything’s fair game. And this week we’ve finally got someone on who rivals us in our drinking prowess.

But before we get to that, would you like to get an interest rate on your crypto WITHOUT giving up your private keys? Then check out our sponsor: Gauntlet.xyz.

They’ve changed the DeFi game by curating crypto Vaults that let you lend securely and stay in control. I’ve got my USDT in their Prime Vault, and it’s returning a pretty ridiculous 21.96% APY right now.

Do your own research (obv), but check them out—now let’s get into it!

Episode 59 - Niall Farrell

What happens when you combine world-class poker talent with razor-sharp wit and a knack for storytelling? You get Niall Farrell. In this episode, we’re talking about everything—from the wild gambling culture in Scotland to the hilarious (and sometimes painful) realities of going broke, backing players, and riding those legendary poker heaters.

Niall doesn’t hold back, whether he’s spilling on his heater years, breaking down how he built his first live bankroll, or explaining why heaters are absolutely real. You’ll laugh, learn, and probably feel like you’re sitting at the table with him. This one’s packed with insight, banter, and pure fun.

Don’t miss this chance to hang out with one of poker’s most entertaining personalities.
