Kicking the 888Ride Podcast Series Off with a Blast!
We’ll kick the series off with a few of our most popular and entertaining 888Rides. The first five episodes will include the following poker players/personalities:
- Ben Lamb
- Shaun Deeb
- Phil Galfond
- Jeff Platt
- Ali Nejad
Here’s a taste of what’s in store:
Six-Time WSOP Bracelet Winner Shaun Deeb
Shaun loved speed maths as a kid, so multi-tabling in poker was a natural fit once he started playing online as an adult. He can make decisions quickly and has a super memory, so he rarely times out.
He’s able to focus and concentrate a seemingly impossibly large numbers of tables simultaneously.
Join David Tuchman as he gives Shaun Deeb a lift in the 888Ride and, along the way, discusses multi-tabling 40 tables at once, the Jeff Platt Curse, alongside other crazy poker-related events in his life.

Phil Galfond Playing The Biggest Games, & The Galfond Challenge
Poker legend Phil Galfond is a poker OG with the classic memorable online poker moniker “OMGClayAiken”. Phil chose the name as an antithesis to all the “macho” screen names that were prevalent in online poker at the time.
In this reflective 888Ride, Tuck (David Tuchman) and Phil discuss the challenging times in Phil’s life and his upcoming plans involving content creation.
Follow that up with the unenviable position of being down a million dollars to venividi in The Galfond Challenge and this podcast delivers!

In this 888Ride, we delve into the man behind the camera and learn what gets him up in the mornings. He shares how a tragedy early in life has shaped his gratitude for all things—good and bad.
We also get insight into his “side jobs” of hosting private games and day trading and how he got his start in poker.
