PokerNews Podcast

In the 849th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by 888poker, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Kyna England are at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas to talk about the "LaptopGate" controversy that came out of Jonathan Tamayo's big win in the 2024 WSOP Main Event for $10,000,000. How did solvers impact things? Does it constitute cheating? What comes next? Not only do the crew talk about it, but they also share clips from two interviews Doug Polk conducted, the first with runner-up Jordan Griff and the other with two prominent poker personalities Daniel Negreanu and Alan Keating. For those wondering what Tamayo had to say about the situation, check out this PokerNews article here. Plus, hear who won the summer crossbook bet between Jeremy Becker and Landon Tice, High Stakes Poker returning to PokerGO next week, and how WSOP Paradise champ Stanislav Zegal failed to sell his championship bracelet in an attempt to raise money for charity, which in turn led to a talk about the value of a bracelet nowadays. Finally, get a sneak preview of Connor Richards' interview with 888poker Ambassador Ian Simpson on his Life Outside Poker Podcast.

What two hands could inspire two big stacks to get 120 big blinds all in preflop on the money bubble? Find out here. The trio also take a look at the WSOP Main Event payouts and how they compare to past years, which former Main Event champs lasted the longest, and how both Mo Nuwwarah and Josh Reichard took pre-tournament misfortune and used it as motivation to make a deep run into Day 5. Chad also shares why he was inspired to turn extra links from his WSOP gold bracelet into a pair of gold earrings, while Keith talks about his life in the Keystone State, which includes a successful Twitch stream. As a matter of fact, he even streamed from the recently completed Global Poker x PokerNews Cup, which crowned a pair of Freeroll Finale Champions. Finally, hear about recent WSOP gold bracelet winners including Garth Yettick, Carsten Heidemann, Matthew Alsante, and Chance Kornuth, who took down Event #85: $1,000 Flip & Go for his fourth gold bracelet.

In the 843rd episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway and Kyna England are joined at Level 9 Studio by Joey Ingram, who served as special co-host to talk about the latest happenings at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) as well as his new partnership with GTO Wizard. The biggest story is that of Scott Seiver, who captured his third bracelet of the summer and became just the seventh player in history to win three bracelets in the same year. Could he make history by becoming the only player to win four? He has two more weeks to do it. Despite winning three bracelets, you might be surprised to learn that Seiver is far from a lock to win the 2024 WSOP Player of the Year; in fact, Jeremy Ausmus, who hasn't won a bracelet this summer, isn't too far behind in points thanks to a bevy of final table appearances. Would a non-bracelet winner winning POY over a three-time winner cause a controversy? The crew discusses that very possibility. Chad then shares pictures and videos from the exclusive Global Poker party that took place at PokerGO Studio on Sunday night, while Ingram opens up about all things GTO Wizard. As usual, you'll also get your dose of other WSOP bracelet winners and a $25K Fantasy update. Oh, and did we mention talk about Daniel Negreanu, Nick Schulman, and Phil Ivey? Because that's all in there too. A new PokerNews Podcast will drop twice weekly during the 2024 WSOP every Tuesday and Friday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time.

Highlights include a cooler flop between the NBA's Jimmy Butler and Brazilian footballer Neymar Jr., professional streamer Richard Tyler Blevins (AKA Ninja) slow-rolling boxer Ryan Garcia, and an insane hand involving Neymar Jr. and Alan Keating that saw more than $300K change hands after the river was run out an astounding eight times! You have to believe it to see it. Meanwhile, the WSOP rolled on by crowning a plethora of bracelet winnings including Chris "Big Huni" Hunichen, who not only won the $100K High Roller but went on to nearly take down the $250K Super High Roller in a week most players can only dream of. Speaking of that SHR, Santhosh Suvarna defeated Ben Tollerene to take down that tournament for $5,415,152 and his second gold bracelet.

In the 839th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, host Chad Holloway is joined by Kyle Anderson and Connor Richards at Level 9 in Las Vegas and talk about the latest from the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) and about town, including the much-talked-about 15-way chop in the Wynn Summer Classic Ladies Event. Speaking of ladies, one was kicked out of a WSOP tournament as seen in a viral clip circulated on social media, but Phil Hellmuth wasn't around to see it as he took a break to head north to Montana for a family wedding. However, he soon returned to Las Vegas and immediately made a run at bracelet No. 18. Speaking of bracelet runs, the son of 2005 WSOP Main Event Joe Hachem nearly followed in his father's footsteps by capturing WSOP gold. While he fell one spot short, Daniel Hachem's run is still one of the most heart-warming stories of the 2024 WSOP thus far. Plus, learn about recent bracelet winners such as James Obst and Magnus Edengren, the "Studs & Duds" from the $25K Fantasy league, and remembering bracelet winner Matthew Parry, who unexpectedly passed away this week. Finally, Chad wrote a poker history piece involving David Sklansky, who is looking to sell a pair of rare 1982 WSOP gold watches and a look ahead to next week's $600 PokerNews Deepstacks Championship bracelet event.

Not only do they discuss the controversial shorted-pot hand from the Gladiators of Poker involving Men Nguyen, but Chad actually chatted briefly with "The Master" about it. That led to a larger conversation about Men "The Master" Nguyen's reputation and legacy within the poker world, and in turn to a discussion on fact versus fiction. From there, Anderson talks a bit about his ambassador duties for Ontario, and then talks about being put in the spotlight by Phil Hellmuth, which inspired Johnnie Vibes to chime in with his desire to be scolded by the "Poker Brat." Speaking of Vibes, he shared the details behind how the chip stack of Adrian Mateos went missing after a break in the $2,500 Freezeout, and then the crew dive headfirst into Nick Schulman winning the $25,000 High Roller for his fifth WSOP gold bracelet.
