In the 885th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Kyna England discuss the biggest pot in High Stakes Poker history, a $1.4 million monster won by Alan Keating. That led to a bigger discussion on the state of televised poker and the game's modern vs. old-school characters.
The crew also discusses the report that Phil Hellmuth apparently missed out on an $80 million payday after declining to invest $15,000 into a company, the status of Doug Polk's "Code Doug" challenge, and recent tournament winners including Daniel Negreanu and Chino Rheem. Oh, they also took a look at some of the best April Fools' Day pranks from the poker world, including one from PokerNews featuring Nik Airball.
Chad then offers a glimpse into his recent run in the MSPT Riverside. Everyone shares their thoughts on the 2025 Wynn Summer Classic schedule. In a new round of Collusion Mind Meld, Mike and Kyna try to get on the same page. Despite some early struggles, they do manage to hit their stride.
