In the 873rd episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is the second episode of Season 16, Chad Holloway, Kyna England and Mike Holtz talk about the surprise PokerStars shoutout by actress Elle Fanning on the red carpet of the Golden Globes, where she also revealed that one of the hottest actors in Hollywood is a good poker player.

Kyna then shares her story about recently meeting a celebrity of her own in rapper Nelly and Mike offers up a Jose Canseco tale, plus an opportunity to win your way to Las Vegas as part of the "Vegas Vacation Sweepstakes" being held by the WSOP Free-to-Play App.

You'll also hear about various Player of the Year race results including GPI POY trophies for David Coleman, Cherish Andrews, and Han Feng. Likewise, Yunkyu Song claimed the WPT Season 22 POY while Umut Ozturk won the MSPT POY in back-to-back years. Oh, and did we mention Nick Schulman won another poker tournament, this time at the PokerGo Tour (PGT) Last Chance Series, as did Shannon Shorr and Brandon Wilson.

Two other stories they touch upon are Liv Boeree donating $560K from her record score at the WSOP Paradise to fight against pig factory farming and a look at wild back-to-back hands played by Peter on Hustler Casino Live (HCL).

Finally, get a sneak peek at a new, high-end luxury coffee-table book that will blow your socks off — The Las Vegas Book by Joris Dekker.
