Lance and Donnie are back in the studio for another exciting episode of The Fives!

Hosted by Lance Bradley and Donnie Peters, The Fives Poker Podcast runs each week and covers the latest poker news, preview upcoming events, and debate the hottest topics in poker.

On this week’s episode, Lance and Donnie talk more about the latest numbers out of PokerStars’ Sunday Million Experiment™, Maurice Hawkins‘ dominance of the World Series of Poker Circuit and why WSOP Circuit success doesn’t necessarily translate to WSOP success. Lance dubs Run It Up Reno to be the “festival of fun” and talk about not only the poker results (including Loren Klein’s crazy run of success there over the last three years) but also how the week-long event should be a model that other poker festivals emulate.

Phil Hellmuth once again stirred up a hornet’s nest on social media this week. The 15-time WSOP bracelet winner is being roasted by the World Poker Tour later this month in a private event. Hellmuth fans and haters alike both complained that the event should be open to the public and live-streamed. Lance and Donnie discuss not only the history of the annual WPT roast but also why the event has remained private over the years.

Lastly, Cat ‘Catrific’ Valdes is leaving the Thirst Lounge and Lance and Donnie wonder what’s next for her and for the Bill Perkins project, the Thirst Lounge.
