They also recap a huge pot-limit Omaha (PLO) bad beat jackpot hand from GGPoker, Gianluca Pane's victory in the MSPT Sycuan Casino in San Diego, highlight winners thus far in the Stairway to Millions, and discuss some nominees for the 3rd Annual Global Poker Awards.
Finally, Chad sits down with 2021 WSOP.com Player of the Year Mike "BrockLesnar" Holtz to talk about his start in poker, his rise in the ranks, and etching his name in online poker history.
