WATCH: WSOP Main Event First Hand Bustouts | PokerNews Podcast #844
In the 844th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway and Mike Holtz are joined at Level 9 Studio by commentator and comedian Joe "Stapes" Stapleton, who served as special co-host to talk about the latest happenings at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP).
That includes the 2024 WSOP Main Event kicking off and not one, but two players busting in the very first hand of Day 1a. Find out how it happened in this episode and how both Chad and Kyna England fared when they played. There's also an 'In Memorium' segment remembering those who fell during Day 1a action, who thinks Mike gives the best massages, and a look at the recently-announced Poker Hall of Fame nominees. Who does the panel think should get in and why? You'll hear all about it here.
Finally, Stapes talks about his upcoming comedy show in Las Vegas, David Eldridge gives an interview after winning the $25K PLO High Roller bracelet, and Nick Petrangelo won Wynn Summer Classic Championship for $2,221,775. Check out all of those stories and more in the latest episode of the PokerNews Podcast!
