With just over a week until the WSOP Main Event gets going, we invited Will "Monkey" Souther, the founder of the staking group Monkey's Minions, for a preview of his summer crew and how you can support them. John "Cakes" Auville, co-host of the longrunning radio show The Sports Junkies and a first-time Minion, also joined the conversation. Enjoy the episode, and best of luck to anyone heading out to Vegas!

You'd be hard-pressed to find someone with more intimate knowledge of the Gulf Coast poker scene than Darrell Guillory. A dealer for over thirty years—not to mention a tough tournament player in his own right—Darrell's currently wrapping up his career at Caesar's New Orleans, where he plans to retire at the end of this year. He's also working as a supervisor at this summer's World Series of Poker. We hope you enjoy this conversation with Darrell and our preview of the 56th WSOP.

We're pulling out a throwback episode with Tom "Dr. Dialtone" Darce, a regular on the Gulf Coast Poker scene for many years. When Tom passed away in March at the age of 58, the community lost an avid poker player and a dear friend. We hope that you enjoy this conversation with him.
