Nathan Gamble from poker kid to WSOP glory

Nathan was 12 years old when he started playing poker in his father's regular game, fast forward less than two decades and now he has 2 WSOP bracelets to his name. His is a fascinating story. We talk about him growing up as a kid playing an adult game, college years, Nathan's 4 years in the military, him being kidnapped as a teen, and of course the WSOP glory. Eventually, we get to the topic of the Galfond Challenge and poker on Twitch. There is a lot in between, I won't give you spoilers.
