PN Podcast: MI Player Kidnapped & Zip-Tied & Dan Sepiol Talks Winning WPT World Championship
On the latest episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Connor Richards, and Matt Hansen bring you the last show of 2023!
They chat about the MSPT & WSOP champion that was found zip-tied and allegedly held captive for 35 days in Michigan, poker player Sean Perry being eliminated from the Circa Survivor NFL contest, and highlighting the Top 10 Stories of 2023.
They also wrap up the 2023 World Poker Tour (WPT) World Championship, which concluded last week at Wynn Las Vegas. That included a Ren Lin win in the $50k WPT Alpha8 for $1,045,781; Daniel Lowery capping off a career year with a WPT Seniors win just weeks after his 50th birthday; and Mikita Badziakouski shipping the $1,000,000 WPT Big One for One Drop for $7.1 Million.
Plus, they offer a winner interview with Dan Sepiol, who etched his name in poker history by winning the WPT World Championship for $5.3 million after an impressive final table performance.
