This week we are locked in to the commentary booth at the Merit Poker Western Series.

David and Dara are in Kyrenia, North Cyprus calling the action on the Warm-Up, Main and Highroller Events but they still make time to record an on-location episode featuring guest stars Jack Sinclair, La Sengphet, Michael Lech, Paul Browne, Jamie Nixon and their co-commentator Ali Nejad.

After the lads discuss their experiences at the all-inclusive Merit resort, they address the appalling Pokernews article by Jon Sofen about poker pro Paulina Loeliger.

This week Dave talks with writer and author Martin Harris about US sports betting and online gaming in Pennsylvania and Michigan.  Encore Presentation.  For broadcast schedule, go to http://houseofcardsradio.com/HOCR2015/stations.html
