In the 938th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Ben Ludlow are joined by Connor Richards at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas to talk about poker pro Jared Bleznick revealing that he's buried by a bad investment into a massive amount of Labubu!
Connor then shares details on covering the federal trial of Tom Goldstein in person in Maryland and what it was like to win the recent Charity Series of Poker (CSOP) event. Speaking of federal, Chad sat down with the Nevada congresswoman, Rep. Dina Titus, to discuss her efforts to pass the FAIR BET Act, which would restore gambling deductions from 90% back to 100%.
From there, it's a talk about the largest overlay in online poker history and recent tournament winners presented by WPT Global, including Alex Foxen, Nick Schulman, and Chino Rheem.

Nino Pansier opened the button to 750,000 and Justin Steinbrenner defended from the big blind.
After the dealer fanned out the 9♠6♠2♦ flop, Steinbrenner checked, and Pansier fired for 1,325,000. Steinbrenner check-raised to 4,400,000, and after giving it a lot of thought, Pansier called with less than pot behind.
A 10♦ rolled off on the turn and Steinbrenner jammed, covering Pansier. Pansier called for his stack of 12,950,000, and the players flipped their cards.
Nino Pansier: A♠A♦8♦7♦
Justin Steinbrenner: 8♣7♠6♦4♠
Both players turned the nut straight, however, each of them had a different flush draw. A spade on the river would win it for Steinbrenner, whereas a diamond would see Pansier take a huge chip lead.
The dealer burned a card, then delivered the K♣ on the river, resulting in a chop pot.
