Ozturk Crushes JACK Cleveland, Helstern & Hankin Shine at Club Championship | MSPT Podcast Episode 14
The Major Series of Poker: The Tour (MSPT) has joined forces with PokerNews for a biweekly podcast, which is available in both audio and video formats.
In the 14th episode, Chad Holloway and Kyna England talk about two big stops that recently wrapped up on the Season 17 schedule. The first was the 2026 Ohio Poker State Championship at JACK Cleveland, which was won by a familiar face in MSPT Hall of Famer Umut Ozturk. It was a big win for the former back-to-back MSPT Player of the Year, and with a win early in the season, makes you wonder if he'll go for POY again!
Meanwhile, Potawatomi Casino in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, played host to the $1,000,000 GTD Club Major Championship, and Chad was there to play both side events and the Main Event. See highlights from his poker adventures, as well as a hand he captured while playing with the legendary Howard Hankin. Whether you love him or hate him, a 'Hands with Howard' is always a sight to see.
Plus, here who claimed Gold Cards at both stops, watch Chad scratch a couple of lottery tickets gifted by a fan of the show, and learn about Jorden Helstern's big win in the Club Major Championship. Finally, get an update on the current MSPT Season 17 Player of the Year race and a preview of upcoming stops.
