The Lock-In - Lon McEachern

This week, we are locked in and wigging out with legendary poker broadcaster and WSOP Circuit ring winner Lon McEachern. The conversation kicks off with a chat about Lon’s recent WSOP victory which segues to a chat about the WSOP free-to-play app and the broader issue of online poker in America. Dara and Lon weigh in on David’s article about Odin removing its 20 second delay feature and the possibility that it can now be used as RTA. Dara makes the point that it’s impact is neither a tournament nor low-midstakes issue while Lon grapples with the morality and where the job of policing RTA use lies. There is then some discussion on Daniel Negreanu’s recent allegations against Ali Imsirovic. The conversation concludes with a results round-up, David plugging the upcoming Unibet Spring Poker Championship Main Event and a ‘Leaky Lon’ tease about his upcoming project with Phil Galfond and poker producer Todd Anderson.
