2024 WSOP-C Playground
In the 853rd episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by PokerStars, Chad Holloway, Kyna England and Mike Holtz are back at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas to talk about the term "fish" in poker. It's a debate set off by veteran poker media member Tiffany Michelle, who used the term while vlogging at the Arizona State Poker Championship and caused quite the kerfuffle in the poker community. It was even the topic of the most recent edition of the Muck and led the crew to the topic of proper vlogging etiquette.
They then break down a wild pot-limit Omaha hand that was about to award a $118K Bad Beat Jackpot but was invalidated due to an unbelievable river card, highlight wins by Kathy Liebert and Lisa Fleishman, and take a look at the 2024 NAPT schedule (Nov. 1-10) which included the Mixed Game Festival IX taking place at Resorts World, which has found itself in a bit of hot water with gaming authorities.
Finally, the crew remembers a trio of poker players who recently passed away in Matt Snook, Dan Sewnig, and Alexander Hill.
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!
