PokerNews Podcast: Ryan “Hagzzz021” Hagerty on Making WSOP Main Event Final Table
In the latest edition of the PokerNews Podcast, Jeff Platt and Chad Holloway tell you why Sarah Herring is MIA. They then share details about their respective weekends in Las Vegas for the 2020 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event and highlight those players fortunate enough to make the final table.
