| 6:07 | Bernard welcomes Adam Owen, who recently captured a WSOP Circuit ring at Harvey��s Lake Tahoe. |
| 6:56 | Adam Owen joins the show. |
| 8:21 | Adam discusses how his friends help bring him up in no-limit hold��em as he is more of a mixed game specialist. ��I��m fortunate enough to have some really talented hold��em friends and they kind of bring me up a little bit to their level.�� |
| 9:05 | Adam explains that when he started playing poker, surprisingly no-limit hold��em was not his primary focus. ��I was in a home game group with friends in school in the UK. We played hold��em initially, but we eventually found all the games�� We ended up playing a mix of H.O.R.S.E and triple draw.�� |
| 10:33 | Bernard explains how he met Adam at the 2015 WSOP, centered around 2-7 Single Draw No-Limit. |
| 13:47 | Adam discusses being drafted very high in the $25,000 Poker Fantasy Draft prior to the 2018 WSOP. ��I think I was (drafted) 6th overall, which was extremely flattering.�� |
| 15:18 | Adam recalls his difficult 2018 WSOP, playing easily over 50 events. ��I remember I bricked 35 or 36 events in a row.�� |
| 15:56 | Adam discusses how he felt during this difficult run during the 2018 WSOP and how he got through it. ��I did feel some of the pressure to be honest after being drafted really high.�� |
| 17:19 | Adam discusses the good and bad of staying at the Rio for the entire WSOP for seven weeks. |
| 19:03 | Adam explains how he decides his daily playing schedule at the WSOP and whether he will late register for an event. ��Ideally, I��d play the 11 a.m. event and see how that goes. If not, I��ll jump in the 3 p.m. And if not, see what��s on at Aria or more likely the Venetian.�� |
| 20:47 | Adam explains that ��winning the $50,000 Poker Player��s Championship would be the ultimate pinnacle.�� |
| 21:07 | Adam lists his favorite two mixed games: 2-7 Single Draw No-Limit and Razz. ��I built my bankroll playing 2-7 single draw heads-up sit-n-go��s against some guys who didn��t know the rules.�� |
| 23:11 | Adam divulges his least favorite game: Omaha Hi-Lo. ��Most definitely, Omaha Hi-Lo. A lot of people just assume I��m good at the game because it��s a staple of all mixed games, but it just hasn't really clicked yet. I have worked hard at it relatively speaking. It doesn��t come naturally to me.�� |

| 27:44 | Bernard continues his interview with Adam and asks him what brought him to the Reno/Lake Tahoe area and why he likes coming to the event/area annually. |
| 31:54 | Adam describes the WSOP circuit event that he won at Harvey��s Lake Tahoe. ��I cashed one of the other flights (but busted prior to bagging), and I got to come back the next day. I re-entered and ran insanely hot.�� |
| 35:31 | Adam describes how he played and took advantage of his big stack late in the WSOP circuit event that he won. ��When you have a lot of chips, you should be looking for reasons to put chips into the pot. When it seems like a close open, it��s probably better to err on the side of aggression, rather than the side of caution.�� |
| 40:02 | Adam recalls the heads-up battle versus Shawn Van Asdale. |
| 40:56 | Adam was extremely happy to win the WSOP Circuit ring, although the WSOP bracelet is the holy grail. |
| 42:08 | Adam discusses his schedule on and off the felt for the remainder of 2018. |
| 44:38 | Adam recalls oversleeping Day 2 of the WSOP Circuit ring event that he eventually won. ��It was crazy. I was forty minutes late, but it cost me about 30 minutes of playing time and my stack went from 750k to 700k.�� |
