Recent WPT champion Ilyas Muradi joins Third Man Walking to discuss his improbable path to poker glory.

I learned about Muradi's story from the following articles:

Sean Chaffin: "WPT champion's journey: Ilyas Muradi transitions from detention to domination"

Charles Rabin: "From immigration 'cage' to newest poker champ at Hard Rock. An Afghan refugee's luck returns"

Spencer Woodman: "'Solitary Voices' detainee wins big, but remains in immigration limbo"
