PN Podcast: Guest Neil Patrick Harris Talks WPT World Championship; WSOP Paradise Dealer Error
On the latest episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Connor Richards, and Matt Hansen come to you from both the World Poker Tour (WPT) World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas where they chatted with Hollywood actor Neil Patrick Harris!
NPH was in town to participate in a WPT celebrity charity event, and you get to hear from him right after he was on the wrong end of a cooler!
Plus, hear from Calvin Anderson, winner of the $1,100 WPT Prime Championship for nearly $1.4 million. The crew then get you up to speed on all things WPT World Championship Festival, including the missed $40 million GTD, Garrett Adelstein’s return to livestreamed poker, and the $1,000,000 Big One for One Drop.
They then wrap up the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise, including a dealer error controversy at the final table that may’ve cost Daniel Neilson dearly, and a winner interview with Stanislav Zegal, who took down the Main Event for $2 million.
Plus, hear the dates for the 2024 WSOP in Las Vegas, current leaders in the GPI Player of the Year races, and how Padraig O'Neill turned 12 bb into €1,030,000 en route to a 2023 EPT Prague Main Event victory.
Listen to those stories and more on the latest episode of the PokerNews Podcast.
