PokerNews Podcast 519: WSOPE Breakdown, Tony Burns
Sarah Herring and [Removed:139] are reunited for Episode 519 of the PokerNews Podcast. Sarah is about to take off to Rozvadov to cover the World Series of Poker Europe Main Event, so she chats with Jeff about what's been going on at the festival thus far.
Shaun Deeb continues to absolutely crush the WSOP Player of the Year race, and Israel is represented very well at King's Casino so far.
Plus, Kelly Minkin makes a World Poker Tour final table, one of our own ships a WSOP-Circuit ring, and one of poker's power couples gets engaged!
Then, Seminole Hard Rock Tournament Director Tony Burns jumps on the show to break down the Moneymaker Players Championship Tour & Rock 'N Roll Poker Open that come to Florida in November!
