Chapter 4 Ep. 37: The Rivers Reunion (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We’re at Rivers Casino in Schenectady, where several Ante Up Poker Tour events have wrapped up and Main Event weekend is here. In Table Talk, we catch up on the series, time with the A-Team, and a few adventures away from the tables. In Call the Floor, a player puts out extra chips intending to call and make change—but the dealer announces a raise.

We’re on the road again!

Read excerpt
This week on the Ante Up Poker Podcast, we’re looking ahead to the Electric City Poker Series at Rivers Schenectady, talking about some of the unique events on the schedule, Ante Up plans for the stop, and even getting into the great dealer debate: slide or pitch? Then, Elliott joins me for a Call the Floor involving a player tipping a cocktail waitress, a dealer who moves the action along a little too quickly, and a community card that hits the felt before everyone has acted.
