In the 857th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by PokerStars, Chad Holloway, Kyna England and Mike Holtz are back at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas to talk about Daniel Negreanu's recent tweet from the Poker Masters criticizing an unknown player for their lackluster tip to a cocktail waitress. It got the poker world both talking and speculating.
From there, the crew looks at a wild rollercoaster hand with improbable river cards from Hustler Casino Live (HCL), which found itself with a big headache when its YouTube channel was suspended, as well as offer their thoughts on potential Women in Poker Hall of Fame candidates. In the realm of winners, Niklas "Lena900" Astedt won two PokerStars WCOOP titles in one hour, while the Poker Masters has crowned champs such as Spencer Champlin, Jeremy Becker, and Jonathan Little, just to name a few.
Finally, Chad offers his review of the poker movie Dead Money and sits down with high-stakes poker pro Alan Keating to talk about his cameo appearance and how he wound up becoming friends with the film's leading actor Emile Hirsch.
