This week's Podcast features interviews with Corwin "Mig.com" Mackey and Steve "Thorladen" Weinstein.

When "Mig.com" interviewed on the PocketFives.com Podcast last year, no one could have predicted his 2007 tournament run that would include a WSOP Bracelet ($5,000 NL Holdem – 1st Place $730,740) and a PokerStars WCOOP Bracelet (Event #14: $1,000 NL Holdem – 1st Place $580,000).

Corwin's interview will provide our listeners with insight on what it takes to outlast large player fields in today's tournament environment. Last week's podcast guest, Alex "AK87" Kim seems almost prophetic now after predicting mig.com's rise during this year's WCOOP.

Our second guest is world-renowned bridge player Steve "Thorladen" Weinstein, who first gained attention in the online poker community through a prop bet he made with "Ozzy87" regarding the August 2005 PokerStars TLB. "Thorladen" won that prop bet (also known as "Gigabet vs. The World") for $100,000. *

Steve will also discuss his career as a prodigal bridge player and Wall Street trader, along with his opinion on what it takes to be a successful poker player in the long-term. Listeners are encouraged to submit questions for future podcast guests by emailing podcast@pocketfives.com, or by dialing (206) 734-4655 and leaving a voice message.
