The appointment of durrr and Isildur as new Full Tilt pros is discussed. Druff and Drexel give tips on how to cash out $500-and-up chips at Las Vegas casinos, in light of stories regarding the Venetian recently giving people the third degree.

Craig Casino, Pamela Jones and Scott Carroll are our guests. Craig is the all-time money winner on the Heartland Poker Tour, has the best poker name since Moneymaker and won the largest HPT tournament in history last October. The Poker Monkey and myself will be re-united for the first time in three weeks on this full two hour episode together*. We'll be talking Raymer, Cantu, Esfandiari, Southern Indiana, Hammond -- and of course Phil Hellmuth, who won his thirteenth WSOP Bracelet in WSOP Europe's Main Event. Pamela Jones co-owner and radio personality at OnTiltRadio.com is our second guest this week.

It's Ladies Day! Claudia Crawford, Marsha Wolak and Annie LePage are our guests on a Friday special edition Greatest Hits version of the show. I won a Heartland Poker Tour (HPT) Main Event seat here in St. Louis this week, and will be playing in Flight B Saturday. I want to focus on the HPT tournament and we will be playing our interviews with Claudia "The Claw" Crawford, then-reigning Ladies World Champion Marsha Wolak, and Canadian poker sweetheart Annie LePage. Claudia Crawford was on the show June 03, just after arriving at the World Series of Poker. Last year, Claudia finished 85th in the 2011 WSOP Main Event, and this year she would go on to finish 290th in the 2012 Main Event. Our interview with Marsha Wolak took place toward the end of June, and we literally pulled the reigning Ladies World Champion out of a WSOP tournament to be on our show. Annie LePage will anchor the show this week. She has a French-Canadian voice which Monkey describes as a voice "you want to make out with". The Scotty Clark Poker Show is brought to you by Lock Poker and we will return to our regular schedule in October.

Druff plays clips of parts 3 through 7 of the infamous "Lederer Files" interview, and analyzes them. Drexel returns to the show and talks about his weekend hanging out with Druff. We have a long conversation with Ken Scalir and his angry friend Stephanie. Rawwolf/Slim T calls in while Ken is on the phone, and is remarkably subdued. Druff gives an update on the gutshot.com scam, and also talks about a high limit account being hacked on Lock Poker. This show suffered from some sound issues while it played live, but all of them have been cleaned up for the archives, so you might want to listen if you missed some things during the live show.
2012 WSOP Circuit National Champion Ryan Eriquezzo is our guest and Bustout Pro Don Norman fills in for an hour as co-host. This week we talk about The Lederer FIles, the seven part video interview with Howard Lederer released this week by PokerNews. My regular co-host The Poker Monkey will check in late in the show with his experiences this week at WSOP Bossier City and we will then get up close and personal with the reigning WSOP Circuit National Champion, Ryan Eriquezzo...

Matt Glantz and Aaron Massey are our scheduled guests. Matt Glantz is the Poker Ambassador for the Parx Casino in Bensalem, Pennsylvania (near Philadelphia). Parx kicked off the U.S. portion of this season's World Poker Tour schedule in August, and Glantz is a well-respected player in the industry. The Borgata Open began September 05 and runs through the 21st, and we have scheduled Aaron Massey to appear. Massey makes his return to the show on the heels of his $651,559 victory in the River Poker Series Main Event at the Winstar Casino. The Poker Monkey went to Seattle this week.

Jesse Sylvia, Dennis Phillips and Mike Matusow are our guests. Jesse is the chipleader at the WSOP Main Event, and we will be getting to know him on the air. From speaking to Jesse on the phone, I can say he is a bright young man full of promise and positive energy, a real pleasure to talk with. Our Town's Dennis Phillips entered the 2008 Main Event Fial Table as the chipleader, the year the WSOP first introduced the November Nine. Dennis is one of the good guys in poker, and I have invited him on for a Q & A in which Jesse Sylvia will "pick his brain" for tips on how to approach his upcoming battle to become the 2012 World Champion of Poker. We will also take the time to ask Dennis what he has been up to lately... Mike "The Mouth" Matusow anchors this show. The Poker Monkey and myself are also known as big mouths, and we are bringing the biggest mouth in poker on to talk about what he has been up to since Black Friday. It will be interesting to see who does all the talking in the segment, as we will be asking Mike about his book, Full Tilt Poker, football and anything else that comes to mind.

We discuss the perplexing lawsuit at the AC Golden Nugget, and Alvin Finklestein makes a series of prank calls to get to the bottom of the situation. We speculate about Ben Mezrich's planned book regarding AP, and his odd decision to paint the cheaters in a positive light. We tackled the situation of a poker writer allegedly getting stiffed by WPT Magazine. Is Howard Lederer trying to rehabilitate his image already? We look at yet another fail at Lock Poker -- this time with them displaying eCOGRA certification banners that they don't have. Edition #2 of "What Does Ken Scalir Think?" is played, with contestants onestep and Hockey Guy. Ken Scalir agrees to let us call the woman who may have set him up to be scammed at a restaurant. A federal judge ruled that poker is a skill game in relation to an underground live casino bust, and Druff discusses whether that will impact online poker's legality. Vwls talks about relationships, pre-nups, and gold diggers. Some breaking news is announced regarding the status of Pokerstars owner Isai Scheinberg's indictment. Neverheeb attempts to check in from a pay phone.
Dustin "Neverwin" Woolf makes a surprise appearance, and he calls in to let us know what happened to him and where he is now. Slim T, banned from the radio until he provides proof in the forum regarding his accusations against Brandon, demands airtime while in the chat and is finally given a few minutes to state his case. Brandon walks off the show in disgust of the situation. Druff talks about his WSOP Main Event performance thus far, and tells of his experience of playing a few hours with David Sklansky. We talk about the WSOP allegedly printing the wrong time of certain preliminary event tickets, as well as their false promotion of the 2012 WSOP having the "biggest prize pool ever". We talk about two Rio cash game follies -- a hand where two people get dealt the nut flush at the same time, as well as a terrible ruling where an angle shooter was allowed to "win" $5k of a casual player's money. We briefly talk about Lock Poker's deposit problems on their new network, and analyze a photo of Tom Dwan possibly eating with Howard Lederer. We discuss the rumors that the Pokerstars purchase of Full Tilt was a DOJ hoax, as well as Ray Bitar being granted bail. We analyze the unfortunate situation of Epic Poker screwing writers out of their hard-earned back payments. In our "Love Hurts" segment, we visit the curious situation of Matt Marafioti possibly being back together with Lauren Kling, along with the Twitter-based physical assualt allegations from Amanda Musumeci against boyfriend Ryan Eriquezzo (who also might be back together!) Vwls and Beebs9Dizzle discuss whether sex toys are bad for relationships. User "BUBBLES" plays "Older or Younger than Druff" for a $50 restaurant gift card, donated by user "Pooh". Erik Ryland calls in, claiming that neverheeb is facing up to 5 years in prison, and onestep calls in to challenge Ryland to a fight.
