Wicked Chops Podcast with Erik Seidel


Will Rounders 2 do Erik Seidel a solid, and, you know, show he had the way better career than Johnny Chan the master?

No This Week in Poker yesterday, so instead we did a very TWiP-ish episode of our Wicked Chops Podcast.

Joining us (and taking your q’s) on the podcast is the man who is absolutely knocking 2011 upside the head, Erik Seidel. He talks music, Rounders 2, and of course, the $3.5M-ish he’s won over the past 30 days.

Jess Welman covers poker headlines and bashes Norm MacDonald. Sorry Jess, he’s no Paula Poundstone.
