Lynn Gilmartin is an Australian actress, poker player, and host of the World Poker Tour (WPT). We last had Lynn on in January of 2020 to talk about her efforts in responding to the Australian fires. While only 9 months ago, it feels like a decade, so it was time to catch up with Lynn on her life (including successful acting auditions) and her reflections on Mike Sexton. We also get to hear a bit of Lynn’s back story growing up and her journey into hosting a poker tour.
