Episode #379 - September 8th, 2015

Live from the Two Plus Two Studios - This week on the Pokercast: Steve Day comes to town to bid us adieu. To start, the guys will be moving around next week and update you on where we’ll be. A Pokercast survey is available in the forum and we love your feedback! We review what you’ve told us so far, touch on a few other tidbits and jump into the news. This week in “In Case You Missed It”: A new Patrik Antonius interview raises some interesting points, inductees to the (other) poker hall of fame are announced, a gaming legislator in Michigan says he thinks DFS wagering is illegal and Chris Grove joins us to give us the low down. Some tournament news from a strangely guaranteed event in Oklahoma, also the legends of poker in LA, some shenanigans in Malta and of course WCOOP. After the break Terrence has a new inductee to the IPWOF then a familiar voice from years of the Pokercast, Steve Day joins us in studio for his last official appearance on the show. Steve has been in the upper echelon of Pokerstars operations for quite some time and we talk with him about a bunch of topics from the past, and some of what to expect in the future of the world's largest poker site, and Steve himself. We’ve also got some Rossco Report, 140 or less, some forum shout outs and as per your request a double dose of Pokerstars Invitational passwords in the show!

Music: Mac Demarco - Another One, Hockey Dad - Seaweed

FT!

There better be a lot of fantasy football discussion!

I would be talking to myself

Did you guys clarify for listeners that don't follow the forums that Lee Jones was completely wrong and out of line to say that Jason Mo had made a complaint before about chips disappearing?

You can get your answer by listening.

Haven't listened to how you discussed the payouts at the River ME at Winstar, but they did the same payout structure last year ($1m GTD to winner, $2.5m GTD prize pool). Last year's winner did not make a deal.

Adieu, like forever?

Well timed appearance of Steve D for pokercast listeners given the heated discussion about the whole Barcelona thing in the forums this past week.

Looking forward to hearing the show! You guys are the best!

Steve has nothing to do with operations now, he's moved to a different job within the company.

GG Steve.

Regarding gambling games from other nations: Mah Jong!

Also, regarding the $1mn first prize at whereversville tennessee, it tilts me no end (as someone who is never going to play one, but still) when they use a name like the millionaire maker when tax is going to be taken out of the $1mn.

Which would also be giving them a download I'm not willing to give atm. I would hope and expect they opened the show with clarifying their involvement of falsely hurting a guys reputation the week before.

Looking forward to the day we earn your download Lloyd!

No trolling bro!

Also, how am I wrong?

What is the song that features on 'in case you missed it'?

Stop being so self-righteous and entitled and just download the show and listen for yourself.

Wow, first time since I've been at 2+2 that I have seen Kevmath in non-mod status. And yet still chock full of info.

Others have said it in many forms (as I have on Facebook) but I'll be the first in this thread: congrats on the new gig.
