The Grid 091 ft. Claudia Salinas – Pocket Kings

August 10, 2025

Poker player and Innocence Center lawyer Claudia Salinas enters the GRID to talk about her very first livestreamed hand. Claudia’s friend Veronica Brill called her in as a last-minute replacement for a Ladies Night game at the Commerce casino. While engaged in client calls right up to showtime, Claudia arrived on set a little nervous to play with pros like Caitlin Comeskey, Christina “Baby Shark” Gollins, as well as Veronica herself.

Facing Kasey “PokerMomma” Lyn Mills and Veronica Brill, Claudia found herself in a three-pot with pocket kings. And the news kept getting better and better when a king and two deuces hit the flop. Watch the hand here:

Claudia and Jen discuss the hand, and then move on to a deep dive into Salinas’ work as a lawyer at the Innocence Center to help free the innocent and the wrongfully incarcerated. Claudia also talks about her upcoming poker charity tournament All in for Justice on October 2nd, which also happens to be International Wrongful Conviction Day.

Now that Claudia has discussed pocket kings, 83 hands remain on the poker GRID. Also see poker dealer Jeffrey San Gabriel discuss kings here.   Browse other hands and see what’s left at: https://thepokergrid.com/episode-finder/
