In the 868th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, sponsored by the free-to-play WSOP App, Chad Holloway, Kyna England, and Mike Holtz are at Level 9 Studio to discuss the bitter social media feud between Vanessa Kade and Ryan Depaulo, which started over a sponsorship for Benjamin "Bencb" Rolle and saw the likes of Charlie Carrel and Kevin Martin chime in.
You'll also get to check out the recent ClubWPT Gold $5M Freeroll Invitational winners, which includes Kyna, and how the reigning WPT World Champ Dan Sepiol won $1 million in a daily fantasy football contest on Thanksgiving. Some other recent big winners were Faraz Jaka down at the Rock 'n' Roll Poker Open and David Prociak at the Venetian DeepStack Showdown Series.
Finally, the year is quickly coming to an end, so the crew thought it was a good time to look at the PokerGO Tour leaderboard and see who is qualified for the $1,000,000 PGT Championship and who is on the bubble.
A new PokerNews Podcast will drop weekly every Friday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time. Remember to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you do not miss an episode!

Niklas Astedt raised to 4,000 from the cutoff, and after losing the majority of his stack in previous hands, Morten Klein moved all in from the button for his remaining 33,000. Astedt flicked in a call to put Klein at risk as players turned their cards.
Morten Klein: A♣J♠
Niklas Astedt: A♥K♦
Astedt remained ahead until the river as the board ran out 9♥6♠8♣6♥J♣, but Klein paired his jack to win the pot, doubling up his stack.
"What's happening?", asked a neutral player. "Yesterday you lost with ace-king versus ace-ten and now this?"
"I know," shrugged Astedt after handing over the chips to Klein.
