This week's Podcast features two great interviews with Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL) and WSOP Main Event 7th Place Finisher Lee Childs.
Momentum continues to build as proposed legislation moves its way towards potential passage in the next nine months. A bill proposed by Rep. Wexler would provide a carve-out in the UIGEA for games of skill, including online poker and backgammon. The general consensus is that sooner or later, U.S. politicians will see the staggering potential online poker creates for tax revenue. Our interview with Congressman Wexler will focus on his bill and its potential implications for the online poker world.
Our second guest is known to the PocketFives.com community as "Acumen53", and placed 7th in this year's World Series of Poker Main Event for a cash of $705,000. Lee Childs is a pleasant individual who discusses his future plans on this week's Podcast. The now-famous Pocket Queens hand versus eventual winner Jerry Yang will be featured in Lee's interview as well.
