Doug Kim: How Louis CK Inspired Him to Create Just Dougie

Lee Davy sits down with the former World Series of Poker Main Event final tablist, Doug Kim, to take a trip down memory lane, talk about his upcoming TV show Just Dougie and more.

In 2006, Doug Kim was writing his name into the World Series of Poker (WSOP) history books when he became the youngest-ever player to reach the WSOP Main Event final table.

Kim would finish seventh in what remains the most cash rich WSOP Main Event in history. Kim won $2,391,520. The winner, Jamie Gold, walked away with $12m.

Kim not only shared a final table with Gold, he also shares a love for TV production. Before Christmas news emerged that Kim was busy working on a semi-autobiographical TV show called Just Dougie. We caught up with Kim to hark back to those lofty heights of 2006, and to learn more about his new show.
