On the latest episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Connor Richards, and Matt Hansen come at you from the PokerStars 2023 North American Poker Tour (NAPT) at Resorts World Las Vegas. They recap some of the early side event winners, fill you in on the Main Event, and dive into the return of the Big Game featuring two new loose cannons.
Connor then chats with Jesse Lonis, who won the NAPT Super High Roller, while Chad catches up with Poker Hall of Famer Scotty Nguyen, who made his way to Vegas for the NAPT. Finally, Matt interviewed PokerStars Ambassador Parker "Tonkaaaa" Talbot, who bagged up a big stack in the $1,650 Main Event.
Additionally, the crew recap winners from the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Europe, which is currently taking place at King's Casino in Rozvadov, as well as their decision to have a leprechaun emcee their mystery bounty event. Toss in a discussion on Shawn Sheikhan receiving a four-year prison sentence, and it's a show not to be missed.
