‘What is truth?’ Not our words, but those of Johnny Cash, and if he didn’t know - who possibly could?

This week’s episode of The Showdown with Sarah Herring - your regular, lickitty-split rundown of the week’s biggest poker stories - is filled with players doing what doesn’t always come naturally: Telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

So come join Sarah for a whistlestop tour of the poker world’s top stories of the week, all wrapped up with a bow in just a couple of minutes. You’ll love it... honestly.

Gimme some truth

This week’s episode of The Showdown features


  • Chris Moneymaker dropping some truth bombs about his ACR Poker colleagues Ebony Kenney and Nacho Barbero
  • Doug Polk’s unflinching honesty when it comes to ClubWPT Gold’s pros and cons
  • Aleksejs Ponakovs at Triton Jeju demonstrating the maxim in vino veritas (‘In wine, there is truth’)
  • Tom Bedell dropping his guard to show just how it feels to beat the likes of Phil Ivey and Erik Seidel at a big-money final table
