2023 World Series of Poker
On the latest PokerNews Podcast episode, Chad Holloway and Jesse Fullen continue The Chad & Jesse Poker Show straight from the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP).
They are joined by none other than Daniel Negreanu, who took a break from his busy summer schedule to talk about a plethora of topics including what it’s been like running deep in the lower buy-in, big field events, interacting with fans, and how he feels about his performance thus far.
Negreanu also offers his thoughts on the Poker Hall of Fame, including who he thinks will get in and the changes he’d like to see moving forward. Finally, “Kid Poker” offers his prediction for the 2023 WSOP Main Event, which is also the first big topic discussed by the hosts.
Chad and Jesse then do a new "Calling the Clock" segment in which they offer quick two-minute dialogues for topics on “The Board.”
This hand was relayed to Pokernews by Christopher Fraley:
Shortly before break, Fraley raised under the gun to 3,000 and was immediately met with an all in by the player directly to his left. It folded back around to Fraley and he made the call.
Christopher Fraley: Q♦Q♥
Early Position: Q♣8♣
The flop wasn't much of a sweat as it fanned out 5♥5♦7♥, the turn locked the hand up for Fraley as the 10♥ peeled and the A♥ rolled off the deck just due to the dealer's obligation.

On the J♦5♣4♥6♠ turn, Daryl Harris led for 22,000 into the pot of over 50,000. The player next to act made the call and the third player in the hand got out of the way.
The 6♥ landed on the river, and Harris instantly slid a stack of reds across the line for a bet of 100,000. His opponent went into the tank with a stack of about 70,000.
"Good bet," said his opponent. "I guess you have a better hand," he concluded as he mucked his hand and claimed to have ace-jack.
