Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to Dad Poker Podcast.

This is episode 113, the Dad Poker podcast, brought to by Daniel Negrois Masterclass of Poker.

And we have a new main event champion.

The last World Series of poker ever at the Rio

last World Series main event anyway has completed. We're going to talk all about that now.
