Peter Brian Okin Growing up Long Island → Manhattan for 18 years Board games, Uno scoring, and why Monopoly is “the true model of business” First real gambling: Vegas as a kid → self-deal poker → then… an “underground casino” run out of a synagogue 😭 Studying abroad in Vienna + London and falling into craps (aka: “six months of addiction”) The Rounders/Moneymaker-era lightbulb moment: first bluff ever in a 1/2 underground game The “destiny” hand: river gets redealt… and the same river comes again The bachelor party that turned into a Bellagio nightly cash + 5th-place finish Brian Okin’s infamous marathon sessions (and why coffee is basically a performance-enhancing drug) The $100k+ loss + the cashmere hoodie he had to throw away Playing Molly’s Game 10–15 times… and the story of the $13k check Leaving the family plumbing business → starting a dot-com home goods business → the website disaster that nearly killed it New York home game scene: PLO, no-limit Stud 8, “trading action,” and why Vegas players were sharper Moving to Vegas in 2015… by smuggling cats on a train (yes, really) Pre-COVID Vegas vs private-game era: politics, access, and the fork in the road Launching Okin’s Game at the Venetian + going live on stream Heads-up PLO battles and why he thinks it’s the purest form of gamblingBrian’s linkshttps://okinsgame.comhttps://x.com/brianokinhttps://instagram.com/brianokinhttps://youtube.com/brianokinTable 1 LinksCard Player stories from our episodes:https://table1.vegas/cardplayerWant a seat in our game at Aria?Go to https://table1.vegas → click “Get a seat in the game” and fill out the form.Minimum buy-in $5,000.

Lee Markholt: Bull Riding, Old-School Poker, and the Wild West Era of Vegas Games | Table 1 PodcastSome poker careers start with solvers and staking deals.Lee Markholt’s started with bulls, butcher shops, and a $10 “please just get on this thing” rodeo spot… and somehow turned into a decades-long poker run that included early WSOP final tables (hello, Daniel Negreanu), WPT cash-game glory, and a whole lot of “I never went broke” discipline.In this episode, Art and Justin sit down with Lee for one of those conversations that feels like you’re getting a peek behind the curtain of two disappearing worlds: rodeo and pre-boom poker.What we talk aboutGrowing up in Tacoma + a family story that sends him to the farm at 12The bull riding dream (and the injuries that came with it)Dropping out before high school… then out-working everyone anywayThe moment poker “clicked” during shoulder surgeryEarly card rooms: dealer’s choice, stud games, wild stuff, and “IOU poker”Tournaments in the early days (including the legendary Seymour Flop story)Working as a floor / running rooms… and the twist that pushed him into full-time playWSOP memories + the final table where Negreanu won his first bracelet (and the brutal hand)The boom years, shot-taking, bankroll rules, and why Lee never borrowed to stay aliveBellagio’s golden era, private-game politics, and why phones changed the feel of pokerWhy Lee game-selects more than ever now (and what he’s chasing these days)Quick shoutouts / linksCard Player stories from our episodes:https://table1.vegas/cardplayerWant a seat in our game at Aria?Go to https://table1.vegas → click “Get a seat in the game” and fill out the form.

Poker careers don’t usually start with a screenwriting degree, a philosophy PhD track, and a failed TV pitch.But David Lappin’s did.In this episode of the Table 1 Podcast, David Lappin joins Art and Justin for a wide-ranging conversation that connects poker, writing, creativity, and the emotional reality of life in the game. From late-night UK poker TV to $5 sit-and-gos on Full Tilt… from near-miss Hollywood scripts to building one of poker’s most respected podcasts… this is a masterclass in how strange, nonlinear careers actually happen.David opens up about growing up around film and theater, falling in love with philosophy, and how rejection in the writing world prepared him for poker’s brutal swings. He breaks down the need to scratch the creative itch—and why so many players eventually build podcasts, write books, or create something outside the game.In this episode: The origin story of The Chip Race and how David and Dara O’Kearney built an award-winning poker podcast by treating interviews like game trees Why most poker content fails to market the actual poker audience (and how that hurts the ecosystem) The Irish Poker Open’s transformation into one of the best poker festivals in the world (and why player experience matters more than prestige buy-ins) A sharp critique of modern tournament structures, late registration abuse, and re-entry culture David’s personal Black Friday story—and how it quietly reshaped European poker Why poker players, writers, and creatives all struggle with the same thing: rejection, confidence, and meaningThere are hilarious Full Tilt chatbox stories, honest industry takes, commentary war stories, and thoughtful reflections on how poker has changed—and where it should go next.If you care about poker beyond hand histories…If you’ve ever felt the urge to build something outside the game…Or if you just want to hear one of poker’s smartest voices talk candidly about the life behind the results…This one’s for you.Show Notes: 00:00 Early Life & Film Studies 20:12 The Poker Grind 27:19 Meeting his Girlfriend In A Sit n Go?! 32:34 Favorite Poker Stops 46:10 Value to the Players (WSOP vs WPT) 54:48 Black Friday & Staking Deals 1:04:49 The Chip Race Podcast 1:19:20 The Future!David's Links: The Chiprace Podcast - www.thechiprace.com X - www.x.com/DKLAPPIN Simplify Poker - www.SimplifyPoker.comTable 1 Links: What is Table 1? - www.table1.vegas Play with us online & Get 200% Deposit Bonus up to 4,000 USDT - play.phenompoker.com/register?r=Table1 X - www.x.com/table1vegas Instagram - www.instagram.com/table1vegas

This wasn’t just our year.It was the year of stories that somehow slipped through the cracks.In this episode, we break down the past year by revisiting the most under-viewed, overlooked, and borderline-unreal poker stories we came across — pulled from podcasts, interviews, and moments that deserved way more attention than they got.Some are wild hand histories.Some are offhand comments that reveal everything.Some are stories told once… to the wrong audience.We clipped them.We replayed them.And then we told you what actually matters.You’ll hear:– Crazy hand histories that never went viral (but should have)– Moments from other podcasts that completely flew under the radar– Stories that explain why poker is the way it is — ego, luck, discipline, tilt– How hearing these clips changed how we think about the game and the people in it– And the handful of moments that made us stop and say, “Wait… did you catch that?”This episode is part year-in-review, part film room.Just us doing what we love most — finding great poker stories and putting a spotlight on them.If you like:• under-viewed content• real hand histories• poker stories told by the people who lived them• and episodes that feel like you’re sitting around after the game replaying the nightThis one’s for you.👇 Comment with the clip or story that stuck with you👍 Like & subscribe if you want more under-the-radar poker stories🎙️ And if you’ve got a clip we missed… send it.

He discusses moving across North America to chase the dream, overcoming challenges growing up gay in a traditional environment, and building community through forums and coaching. You’ll hear candid insights into tournament swings—odd jobs, finding stable internet, and bankroll variance. Ryan breaks down the backing model, why coaching became both passion and safety net, and why multiple income streams matter for today’s pros.

Played lacrosse at Penn State. Obsessed over Counter-Strike. Accidentally turned a Puerto Rico casino trip into an $8k “beer money” bankroll. By senior year of college? $150k in his poker account. Six months later? Nearly dusted it. Then hit for $60k at PCA and never looked back. John has lived the full poker arc: Black Friday moves to Toronto, huge scores in Europe (including tilting Luke Schwartz in Prague), New York DJ lifestyle, Bay Area private games… and now? He’s running A5 Labs, a 200-person tech team building AI that hunts bots and collusion across online poker. This episode is funny, wild, and brutally honest. It’s about how obsession becomes opportunity, how every poker player eventually faces the “what’s next” moment, and how John turned his into a career shaping the entire industry.
