The Lock-In - Thomas Keeling

This week, Dara and David are locked in and hanging out with the seriously serious Thomas Keeling. The lads kick things off by sharing some memories about the 1999 WSOP Main Event champion Noel Furlong who passed away this week. The conversation then turns to the recent PokerKing WPT Heads-Up event, won by Phil Ivey. Thomas gives his behind-the-scenes perspective and insights into why the event worked so well. The lads then segue to another Thomas Keeling production - the limited Joe Ingram interview series with Phil Ivey and Tom Dwan - before turning their attentions to the Phil Hellmuth victory in High Stakes Duel II. They talk about Hellmuth’s astonishing winning streak whilst definitely not burying the lede... Daniel Negreanu’s losing streak. David then tells the wild story of the French Businessman and High-Stakes Poker Player Arnaud Mimran who has been Sentenced to 13 Years for Kidnapping. Dara delivers his strategy nugget on ‘Ace-high boards’ and the lads round things off by trying to get Thomas to dish done secrets about what’s coming up for PokerKing. Does he crack and spill the beans? Tune in to find out.
