In the 863rd episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by the free-to-play WSOP App, Chad Holloway and Kyna England are joined by Connor Richards at Level 9 Studio to kick off the 2024 Pokerstars North American Poker Tour (NAPT) at Resorts World!
The series runs November 1-10 and will offer players and Gold Pass winners the opportunity to become the “Loose Cannon” on the PokerStars Big Game, which will also see future football Hall of Famer Rob Gronkowski compete at the felt. Speaking of Gold Pass winners, we highlight more players who won their way to Las Vegas including Luis Viera, who won his Gold Pass in the PokerNews Podcast giveaway, and Canada's Steve Maddison, who our PokerNews Ontario Ambassador Kyle Anderson interviewed as a part of the show.
And let's not forget about the NAPT Women’s Event on Nov. 5 featuring a $30,000 guarantee and CardPlayer Lifestyle’s Mixed Game Festival IX from Nov. 3-7.
Connor then shares his thoughts on the Life Outside Poker Meet-Up Game and shares the tragic story of Jim Weger, who passed away in a motorcycle accident the night before the 10th Annual Pawn Stars Poker Run. You'll also get to hear about winners from the 2024 Norwegian Poker Championship, and finally, you can see Chad take part in a $100 flip during an impromptu appearance on The Absolute Nuts show, which was filming their cash game at Resorts World during the PokerNews MUG.
The podcast has a new sponsor in the #1 free-to-play WSOP app, and as part of it, we run another "WSOP Replay" segment in which Chad reviews a famous poker hand through the lens of the WSOP App. Check it out and remember to use bonus code "POKERNEWS" if you download and play for an extra 1,000,000 in chips!

: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Maxwell Young opened to 600 from the cutoff, and Alban Beysson defended from the big blind.
On a board of J♣3♥J♦, Young bet 200. It didn't take long for Beysson to call.
Both players checked the 6♠ turn to find the 7♥ river where Beysson led out for 1,300. Young called with K♦8♦ but Beysson had the exact same hand, K♠8♥, so they split the pot.

The dealer fanned a flop of 8♣5♥K♠ and the button continued for 600. Kvisthammar was the only one to call.
The button fired a second barrel of 1,600 on the J♦ turn, and a third one on the J♣ river. Kvisthammar called on the turn, but gave up on the river.

“Ciao e benvenuto a Sanremo!” Well known for its beautiful seafront and its music festival, the Italian city has also become an important poker destination thanks to the partnership between Casinò Sanremo and Texapoker.
After last year’s first edition of the World Series of Poker Circuit Sanremo, eight rings are in play again this year from the 1st to the 11th of November. A few days ago, former dealer Rebecca Rivoli won Event #1, the €250 WSOPC Cup for €26,000, before Georgios Tsouloftas took down Event #3, the €300 WSOPC Mystery Bounty.
He secured a total of €20,950 and his second WSOPC ring, having previously won the 2023 €1,000 WSOPC Sanremo Main Event for €120,000. 906 entrants were recorded in the 2023 Main Event, generating a total prize pool of €766,476.
