289. EPT Cyprus champion Gilles Simon

With the first ever #EPTCyprus in the books, James and Joe recap their trip to Kyrenia and speak to Main Event champ Gilles Simon. In an extended interview, he talks about his poker journey, from streamer, to Platinum Pass winner, to professional player to besting a field of more than 1,300 to become a European Poker Tour champion. Plus, the guys look ahead to #NAPTLasVegas and the return of the Big Game…on Tour, with details of the qualification path and selection process for Loose Cannons. No 'Superfan vs Stapes' this week. But if you'd like to apply to be a Superfan, or just want to comment on the podcast, please check out the #PITE channels on the PokerStars Discord server (psta.rs/Discord).
