Ep 637 - Chats: David Lappin Goes Runner Runner

What this episode covers

This week Jim Reid and the RecPoker RECing Crew welcome poker’s greatest villain David Lappin back to the show to talk about his recently winning Poker.Org’s “Runner Runner” competition, and its prize of a gold pass to the North American Poker Tour going on in Vegas this week! They discuss David and Jim’s ongoing ‘rivalry’ in the poker world (can it be a rivalry if one person does all the wining?) rooming together in Las Vegas, how David solved the Runner Runner clues, how he prepares for a large tournament series, the logistics of selling action for events, auditioning for The Big Game on Tour, and more! Plus of course we raffle away a free prize at the end for folks in the YouTube chat, to help support a local food bank.
