Another solid show yesterday as we discussed the 2010 WSOP Main Event Final Table and who of the November Nine^TM will be Good, Bad or Meh for Poker. Joining us in the studio to break it all down was pro poker instructor Alex Outhred along with his dog Broadway and a table full of ridiculously tasty food from the burger/beer joint he co-owns, Stout.

Joining us via Skype for most of the show was a saucy looking Jess Welman who took a break from the final table action at the WPT Foxwoods to deliver the news and chime in on the November Nine^TM discussion.

We also debuted a new Poker Strategy Segment with poker pro/Poker VT instructor Brian Rastanswering viewer questions, and then, with Jason Calacanis in the studio with us, Rast broke down step-by-step a hand Jason recently played against Abe Mosseri and Doyle Brunson on the Big Game.
