Thinking Poker

Erik Seidel has been one of the greatest poker players in the world for over four decades. We are proud and honored to celebrate this milestone episode with such a legend of the game. Erik discusses with Carlos and Andrew his early days as a backgammon player at the Mayfair Club, his second-place finish to Johnny Chan at his first WSOP, and how he’s navigated so many dramatic changes in the poker landscape without losing his edge.
Thanks to Sam Greenwood for helping us connect with Erik.
