After an intro featuring host of The Soup and star of CommunityJoel McHale (who is joined by a still wearing way too much clothing Laura Lane) ESPN’s Inside Deal welcomes Joe Sebok to its studio to talk about his signing with UltimateBet.
Daniel Negreanu and Michael Binger join Inside Dealthis week. Negreanu talks about WSOPE (just a couple of days away, hard to believe). The two also square off in the first ever Inside Deal Nit-Twits (pretty funny, just watch it).

ESPN’s second episode of Inside Deal is up, and it’s getting better already.
This week features poker agent wannabe Dennis Phillips, who talks about his mentoring role with the November NineTM, which apparently includes following them into the bathroom at the Rio on breaks and talking them into deals.
