The series runs November 1-10 and will offer players and Gold Pass winners the opportunity to become the “Loose Cannon” on the PokerStars Big Game, which will also see future football Hall of Famer Rob Gronkowski compete at the felt. Speaking of Gold Pass winners, we highlight more players who won their way to Las Vegas including Luis Viera, who won his Gold Pass in the PokerNews Podcast giveaway, and Canada's Steve Maddison, who our PokerNews Ontario Ambassador Kyle Anderson interviewed as a part of the show.
Connor then shares his thoughts on the Life Outside Poker Meet-Up Game and shares the tragic story of Jim Weger, who passed away in a motorcycle accident the night before the 10th Annual Pawn Stars Poker Run. You'll also get to hear about winners from the 2024 Norwegian Poker Championship, and finally, you can see Chad take part in a $100 flip during an impromptu appearance on The Absolute Nuts show, which was filming their cash game at Resorts World during the PokerNews MUG.

The two players checked a board of 5♣2♣4♠9♠K♠ all the way down to the river. Worthington-Leese checked again, but Johnson bet 1,600. Worthington-Leese was curious enough to make the call and Johnson flipped over A♠5♦ for a pair of fives and Worthington-Leese mucked.
Owen Mullan raised to 1,100 from middle position with Bobby James three-betting to 3,500 from the button. After it folded back to Mullan he put in the call.
The dealer fanned out the flop of K♣9♣4♥ and Mullan check-called a bet of 2,200 from James.
Mullan checked upon seeing the J♥ drop on the turn and James bet 9,000. Mullan quickly folded and James flipped over just the Q♣.
