This week's Podcast features interviews with top-ranked online tournament player Owen "OCrowe" Crowe and iMEGA.org President Edward Leyden.
Owen Crowe was first got his start in card games as a Blackjack dealer in a local Nova Scotia casino. His online poker career started with a small deposit that he was able to run all the way up to $6,000 before losing it all back. "OCrowe" entered the summer of 2006 with a renewed focus and quickly became a recognizable name after winning the PokerStars Million for $218,000, along with two victories in the $200 Rebuy tournament. Our listeners will enjoy relating to Owen's doubts about his own tournament schedule. He's known for grinding 16-hour days for months on end... but also has a habit of leaving the game for months at a time.
Our second guest this week is Edward Leyden of www.iMEGA.org (The Interactive Media Entertainment & Gaming Association), which is a leader in our fight to protect online gaming. iMEGA made a huge splash earlier this year when it filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Attorney General's Office in regards to the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. We will talk to Mr. Leyden about recent proposed legislation as well as iMEGA's future role as a major voice for online poker players.
