In the latest edition of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway and Jesse Fullen welcome a very special guest in Poker Hall of Famer and World Series of Poker (WSOP) co-founder Jack Binion, who was kind enough to share his thoughts on the 2022 WSOP, Jack Binion's Steakhouse, legendary Texas road gambler Bob Hooks, and the recently-announced Doyle Brunson movie.

Finally, they discuss the news that Bryn Kenney will be a part of a new online poker site called 4poker, and his subsequent response to our article about it, how new Australian gambling laws may impact the future of Aussie Millions, and take a look at the next PokerNews Cup coming to Luxon Pay Mediterranean Poker Party on August 29.

Sikes raised to 6,100 and Infantini got out of the way. Paetsch went into the tank for a few moments before he reluctantly tossed his cards in the muck and gave up the pot.
