Most of the best things in poker come once a year, like the WSOP Main Event, the WPT World Championship, and Allen Kessler taking Vegas locals out for Thanksgiving dinner. 

But The PokerOrg Showdown is here for the rest of it, and Sarah Herring covering all the hot topics that fall in between the driver's seat and the center console. 

This week is packed, so we'll get right to it. Don't delay — sashay to the Play Button at the top and dig in.

Kids say the best things

This week's topics:

  • "Did you get a trophy, daddy?" Angel Guillen and Lynn Gilmartin hear this question a lot from their son, Bodhi, and the big moment came at the airport earlier this week. 
  • Meanwhile, poker life is a lot different in your 40s, as Andrew Moreno is finding out. But inspiration can come from all new places, like children, and we are choked up about it. 
  • Olivier Busquet is back, but where has he been? He dished it all after a big win at Borgata
  • Someone has beef with Rampage. What did he do now?
  • Jeff Boski was shot down when he asked Nelly for a selfie, and he took to the internet to tell us all about it. 
  • Phil Hellmuth has an opinion and someone doesn't like it. Go figure. 

That's a lot of stories for one Showdown. You better get going. If you need more, check out our last episode, or scroll down and get into the archive.
