A Twitter spat that occurred this week between Exit 2 guest Brett Richey and 2005 World Series of Poker Main Event Champion Joe Hachem has lead to a significant spike in downloads of my interview with Brett. Downloads of Brett’s interview leveled off around 45 days ago. It was picking up one or two a week, until this week when downloads took off.
It seems that Brett took issue with Hachem’s recent criticism of some WSOP Main Event Champions as being poor ambassadors of the sport. I’m not qualified to comment on the issue, but what is clear is that Brett was upset enough with Joe to fire repeated shots at him on Twitter. Eventually Joe responded, and a short showdown of poker minds ensued.
Whatever the cause I’m happy to see that the podcast downloads are increasing, and hopefully those who are listening enjoying it.

Here is a screen shot of their brief battle and video of Hachem’s criticism that prompted Richey to take the first shot.
