This week our own Ben Enslow is stepping into the hosting chair and we are throwing back to another great interview in Kim Kilroy’s Poker Empowerment series – featuring WSOP bracelet-winner Lara Eisenberg! Recorded a while ago, Lara shares some memories about her then recent run at the WSOP, what led to her success at the tables, what its like balancing poker with a rich, full professional life, and some experiences she’s faced as a woman player in a game dominated by men. Plus we give away a free prize at the end for folks in the YouTube chat. Join us LIVE on YouTube next Monday at 7:30 ET for free to ask our guests questions in real-time, and you can win too!
