Good episode give it a view.

In a recent aside segment, Andrew Feldman sits down with (SPOILER ALERT!) 2010 WSOP Main Event winner Jonathan Duhamel to break down some critical hands from his big win.
It’s yet another example of something that could be adapted and used in the actual Main Event broadcasts to make it a more interesting show.
In somewhat related news, check out a surprisingly entertaining video of Duhamel’s homecoming after winning the WSOP ME title here.

ESPN’s Inside Deal is back for its second season. Looks a little looser and more fun this go around. 2009 WSOP Main Event champ Joe Cada stops in the studio for a visit.
In completely unrelated news, never play this prank or this prank on Paul Darden.

Now, we don’t throw words like “genius,” “love,” or “falcon” around lightly. For example, if we meet a new friend, we don’t go telling everyone we “love” this person after a few weeks. That’s because that only happens if you’re on reality TV or if you have a vagina.
Same goes for the word “genius.” It’s like Gwenyth Paltrow‘s character in The Royal Tenenbaums told Eli Cash: she just doesn’t throw that word around. (which Eli had lead in with: “Why would a reviewer make the point of saying someone’s *not* a genius? Do you especially think I’m *not* a genius?”)
Anyway, as you can see, there is almost no chance we’d call somebody a genius unless we really meant it. So why does Andrew Feldman get such distinction?
On a scale of 1-10, the chances of us embedding this week’s edition of Inside Deal with Kevin Schaffel was around a -47. Except Andrew Feldman, genius that he is, decided to name “us” as the “funniest person” in poker during a game of Pokerdy. This caused an approximate 100 point swing on a scale of 1-10 of us embedding the episode.
The reference comes in around the 10:40 remaining mark. In semi-related news, Laura Lane can do some funky shit with her arms (watch intro). She appears to be very bendable. MAXIM shoot, Laura. MAXIM shoot.
