In the 1,016th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by Solana, Chad Holloway and Mike Holtz are joined by Lucas Jumalon, who talks about life after winning the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event for $10,000,000!

What did he do with all the money? One thing he did was buy his dream car. The trio then discusses how Jumalon learned poker in the first place, his relationship with his trophy-winning dad, and his run in the Main Event itself. From there, Jumalon talks about becoming an ambassador for the WSOP Academy, his plan to bring more people to the game, and the upcoming WSOP Paradise in the Bahamas.

Finally, find out who Jumalon's favorite poker players are, plus his remaining poker aspirations.
