WATCH: WSOP Late Reg Drama & Marked Cards? Frankie C Joins | PokerNews Podcast #836
In the 836th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway and Mike Holtz welcome a special fill-in cohost in Frankie Cucchiara (AKA Frankie C) of Next Gen Poker. The popular content creator took a break from filming his poker exploits, as well as time away from his wife and newborn son, to come down to Level 9 in Las Vegas and talk about the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP)!
Speaking of which, it was there where Holtz says that he experienced a marked card situation, while one of the week's hot topics was the issue of late registration in big buy-in tournaments at the WSOP. Find out what happened and how officials are addressing concerns.
You'll also hear about Frankie's new summer challenge to play 100 straight days of poker, recent bracelet winners like Robert Mizrachi, Dylan Weisman, and John Racener, and other winners from about town at venues like Wynn and Venetian.
Plus, hear about the $25,000 High Roller won by Brek Schutten for $1,405,641. It was in that event that Phil Ivey lost a three-way all in, while third-place finisher Michael Rocco gave an emotional post-elimination interview.
Oh, and don't forget about WPT World Champion Dan Sepiol, who managed to claim his first bracelet and continue his rapid ascent among poker's elite.
Finally, get an update on the $25K Fantasy league and learn a bit about the popular PokerNews Daily Deepstacks which have been crowning big winners and awarding hefty paydays!
