The Chip Race Podcast Enters New Era with PokerStars and Paddy Power Sponsorship

The Chip Race podcast will debut its new episode on March 3 with PokerStars and Paddy Power Poker as co-sponsors. The collaboration follows a period of independent production and coincides with new personal ambassador deals for co-hosts David Lappin and Dara O’Kearney. Launched in 2015, The Chip Race has grown to be one of the most respected podcasts in poker.

The March 3 episode marks the start of the new partnership and features one of the show’s strongest lineups yet. Maria Konnikova, Chris Litch, Sid Suna Gunter, and a strategy segment with the runner-up from the recent WPT Main Event final table will all be featured.

David Lappin and Dara O’Kearney, co-hosts of The Chip Race, have signed personal ambassador deals with PokerStars and Paddy Power Poker respectively. The new co-sponsorship represents a milestone for the show, aligning two of the biggest names in poker with two of its most trusted voices. While the dual sponsorship introduces a fresh commercial element, the creative control remains firmly in the hands of its hosts.
