In the 834th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Kyna England, and Connor Richards come to you from Level 9 in Las Vegas where the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) is happening now!
The trio recap the big winners and losers from the Hustler Casino Live (HCL) $1,000,000 Cash Game, show two big hands including a $2.4 million pot and a player mucking the winner in a $534K pot, and share why Alan Keating is good for the game. Plus, Garrett Adelstein sent out a controversial tweet calling out HCL's Ryan Feldman, which spurred both Tom Dwan and Doug Polk to chime in.
Other stories discussed include James Mackey prevailing the WPT Choctaw final table for his second WPT title, Joe Cada & Johnny Chan appearing at a charity event, the legend of John Smith in the $25,000 Heads-Up Championship, and an update on the $25K Fantasy league.
Finally, hear about all the gold bracelet winners thus far from the 2024 WSOP including John Hennigan, who became just the ninth player in history to win seven or more bracelets. Other winners covered include Asher Conniff, Bryce Yockey, Nick Guagenti, and Darius Samual, among others.
