In the 831st episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by PokerStars, Chad Holloway and Kyna England are joined by Nikki Limo, who is filling in for Mike Holtz, at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas to talk about her time as the Loose Cannon on the PokerStars Big Game. The first two episodes recently dropped featuring Limo squaring off against Phil Hellmuth, Alex Keating, Arden Cho, Lex Veldhuis, and Jennifer Tilly.
Limo discusses how she got cast for the show, what happened when she played "Two Truths and a Bluff," and then Kyna & Chad surprise her by offering up some bluffs of their own. Limo also delves into a big hand that she played against the "Poker Brat" that went poker viral.
The crew then talked about the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) being less than a week away, and take a look at some of the "Best Without a Bracelet" including Maria Ho, Seth Davies, and Bin Weng, just to name a few. Plus, will Phil Ivey be at the 2024 WSOP? Find out what the hosts think in this episode.
From there, they take a look at Jessica Vierling winning the WSOP Commerce $1,700 Main Event for $328,273, plus all the big winners from the Triton Montenegro including Mike Watson, Igor Yaroshevskyy, Adrian Mateos, and Mikalai Vaskaboinikau, who all won seven-figure scores!
Finally, Kyna and Nikki play a game of #PokerThrift in which they have to guess whether or not Chad bought some random poker items he found in secondhand stores in Las Vegas. Oh, and there's a preview of Raminder Singh's appearance on PokerNews' Life Outside Poker show hosted by Connor Richards.
A new PokerNews Podcast drops every Friday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time. Make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you do not miss an episode!

Luigi Macaluso raised to 200,000 from under the gun, the cutoff called, as did Hugues Girard, in the big blind.
The action checked to Macaluso, who continued for 260,000 on the 9♥10♦3♣ flop. The cutoff folded and Girard check-raised to 750,000. Macaluso called.
The 7♦ turn checked through to the 7♥ river. Girard placed a small bet of 200,000 and Macaluso responded with a raise to 1,000,000. After some table talk, Girard tossed his cards into the muck. Macaluso proudly showed Q♦J♥ for just queen high.

Fahad El Mechraa raised to 325,000 from under the gun. Soufiane Messadek called in the cutoff and Romain Lewis squeezed to 3,000,000 from the small blind. El Mechraa moved all in for 3,000,000 almost instantly, Messadek folded, and Lewis called just as quickly.
Fahad El Mechraa: A♦10♦
Romain Lewis: K♣K♦
The flop landed 6♣5♦K♠; El Mechraa was going to need running cards to stay alive. The A♣ turn had El Mechraa drawing dead and the 9♥ confirmed his departure.
