Description

NEW episodes every Tuesday and Thursday!

When the Chips are Down Podcast is hosted by four vastly different individuals who all share one thing in common: A passion for the game of poker. Andrew "Bikeking19" Pieper plays professionally while living out of his van, and Scott "StayWild" plays poker recreationally but is looking to transition to having poker be his primary source of income. Scott and Andrew discuss the past week of grinding and their journey on Thursdays, and on Tuesdays, Andrew is joined by Joe Tehan, a WPT Main Event Champion and a regular in the high stakes of Bobby's room in Las Vegas, and Willy is a 2/5 grinder also based in Vegas.

Whether you've been at the tables for years or are just now getting interested in the most complex strategy game on the planet, this podcast has something for you!
