Is this the Worst Bad Luck You've Ever Seen in Poker? | PokerNews Podcast #971
In the 971st episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by FanDuel Poker, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Ben Ludlow come to you from the floor of the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) where they discussed one of the most viral hands of the summer, one involving Bobby James and Ricky Landais that has been called one of the worst bad beats ever!
They then discuss Martin Kabrhel's premature celebration, give you a good news update on Jeremy Ausmus vlogging credentials, and a poker curse from WWE superstar Danhausen. Other stories include highlights from the Mixed Game Festival XIV, choosing a winner for the signed Daniel Negreanu autographed book (plus a new giveaway), and the return of the famous PokerNews segment, The Chainsaw Report, featuring Allen Kessler.
Find out all about those stories and more in this week's episode of the PokerNews Podcast! Oh, and be sure to check out the audio version of the PokerNews Podcast that is available on all major podcasting platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and SoundCloud.
