WATCH: Texas Mike in HCL $1M Cash Game, WSOP Drama & Reichard Wins WPT | PokerNews Podcast #833
In the 833rd episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Kyna England, and Mike Holtz come to you from Level 9 in Las Vegas where the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) is officially underway! Find out about the first few days of the 2024 WSOP, including how Kyna and Mike got some backlash for playing in the Casino Employees event, the same tournament Chad won back in 2013!
The crew also looks at some big hands — including a wild bluff by "Texas Mike" Moncek and Doug Polk losing trips over trips — from the Hustler Casino Live (HCL) $1,000,000 Cash Game, recap Josh Reichard's big win in the World Poker Tour (WPT) Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown, and results from Daniel Negreanu's $25,000 Fantasy Draft.
As for the 2024 WSOP, it kicked off with Event #1: $5,000 Champions Reunion in which 22 former Main Event champs competed including "Action" Dan Harrington, who hadn't cashed a WSOP event in a decade. Surprisingly, he didn't even know about the tournament and only learned of it when he was in Las Vegas for another reason. Find out that story and some of the other former champs who competed in the first event of the summer!
Finally, Robin Poker tours this year's new PokerNews Daily DeepStacks tournament area.
