In the 844th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway and Mike Holtz are joined at Level 9 Studio by commentator and comedian Joe "Stapes" Stapleton, who served as special co-host to talk about the latest happenings at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP).
That includes the 2024 WSOP Main Event kicking off and not one, but two players busting in the very first hand of Day 1a. Find out how it happened in this episode and how both Chad and Kyna England fared when they played. There's also an 'In Memorium' segment remembering those who fell during Day 1a action, who thinks Mike gives the best massages, and a look at the recently-announced Poker Hall of Fame nominees. Who does the panel think should get in and why? You'll hear all about it here.
Finally, Stapes talks about his upcoming comedy show in Las Vegas, David Eldridge gives an interview after winning the $25K PLO High Roller bracelet, and Nick Petrangelo won Wynn Summer Classic Championship for $2,221,775. Check out all of those stories and more in the latest episode of the PokerNews Podcast!
A new PokerNews Podcast will drop twice weekly during the 2024 WSOP every Tuesday and Friday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time. Make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you do not miss an episode!
Day 40 of the 2024 WSOP won’t see any $25K Fantasy movement as no bracelets will be awarded nor will there be any Day 2 action.
Instead, it will be Day 1d of the Main Event, the fourth and final starting flight. On Friday, Day 1c took place and plenty of $25K Fantasy players took their shot and found success including but not limited to Arthur Morris (Team AJ’s Eagles – 221,800 in chips), Chris Brewer (Team The Dinkers – 156,800), Adrian Mateos (Team Lucky – 143,100), Adam Hendrix (Team Wilson – 134,500), Isaac Haxton (Team Wilson – 124,900), and Ben Lamb (Team The Dinkers – 124,600).
On the flip side, a handful of $25K Fantasy players fell on Day 1c including Jake Schwartz (Team Oz), Joao Simao (Team Sternheimer), Chino Rheem (Team Negreanu), Shaun Deeb (Team Lady Gaga), Punnat Punsri (Team TheCoffeeBreakers), and Shannon Shorr (Team Girl Dads).
Remember, PokerNews has been tracking $25K Fantasy players in our live updates and has even made it simple to follow the action by tagging all players with a $25K Fantasy badge. That allows you to utilize our chip count filter option to follow only those players (just tick the $25K Fantasy badge); what’s more, each blog will have a “$25K Fantasy” tab that if you click all you will see are hands played by $25K Fantasy players.

Day 38 of the 2024 WSOP is going to be relatively lowkey given it’s the 4th of July.
