In the 835th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway is joined by poker pros Shaun Deeb and Josh Arieh, who fill in as special co-hosts at Level 9 in Las Vegas where the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) is happening now!
Hear about how Fortnite helped them form Team Lucky alongside Matt Glantz and reigning WSOP Main Event champ Daniel Weinman, Arieh's Poker Stake venture, and their thoughts on the Poker Hall of Fame, including Scott Seiver's chances of getting in after he recently won his fifth gold bracelet.
They also weigh in on two hot topics from this week in poker — whether or not phones, spurred by solver software debates, and excessive masking should be allowed at poker tables.
Speaking of gold, Malcolm Trayner captured his first WSOP bracelet in Event #5: $1,000 Mystery Millions for $1,000,000, while two other players scored million-dollar bounties. Unfortunately, their reactions were a bit subdued, much to the dismay of many in the poker community.
That said, two other players had boisterous celebrations when they pulled six-figure bounties. See them all in the latest episode as well as a winner interview with Trayner.
Finally, learn about other bracelet winners such as David Prociak and Simeon Spasov, get an update on the $25K Fantasy league, and see Jack Binion walk the halls of the Horseshoe and reminisce about 55 years of the WSOP!
With the tournament clock showing 68 players to start the day cards are in the air for the $10,000 PLO8 Championship.

A player from the cutoff opened to 800 and Tom Koral called from the button.
The flop came K♣J♥10♠ and the cutoff fired a 600 continuation bet that was called by Koral.
On the 7♠ turn the cutoff checked, Koral bet 2,500 and the cutoff called.
Both players checked the 7♦ river. The cutoff tabled A♣K♠8♣3♠ for kings up but Koral showed down A♥Q♦Q♥7♣ for trip sevens to take the pot.
