PN Podcast: Aliaksandr Shylko Wins PSPC; Guest Eric Persson Talks Hellmuth, Cash Games & More
On the latest PokerNews Podcast episode of 2023, Chad Holloway, Jesse Fullen, and Connor Richards wrap up the 2023 PokerStars Players No-Limit Hold'em Championship (PSPC), which was won by Aliaksandr Shylko. Hear what the champ had to say after the win.
They also make predictions for the 4th Annual Global Poker Awards (both Connor and Jesse are nominated), talk about PokerStars' plans for the US market, recap both the bestbet Jax Winter Open and Potomac Winter Poker Open, and discuss what happened when a player surrendered during heads-up play in one event that left poker fans scratching their heads.
Finally, Jesse has an in-depth chat with Maverick Gaming's Eric Persson, who has shot to poker fame in the past couple of years due to his bold and boisterous play, not to mention his clashes with Phil Hellmuth and others in both televised and live-streamed high-stakes cash games. Hear from the man himself as he doesn't shy away from telling it how it is.
