In the 841st episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway and Kyna England are joined by bracelet winner and philanthropist Gershon Distenfeld at Level 9 in Las Vegas to talk about latest from the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) including which old-school poker legend, who hadn't played a serious hand of poker in nine long years, made a surprise appearance in the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO) event. You'll have to either listen or watch to learn who it was!

The crew then discusses what actors they'd like to see portray Doyle Brunson in a potential movie, playing in the WSOP $600 PokerNews Deepstack Championship, and take a look ahead to the upcoming Charity Series of Poker (CSOP) event on July 3 with actress Shannon Elizabeth.

Distenfeld then talks about what it was like to win a WSOP gold bracelet and donate the $204K prize to charity, his professional life in the financial world, and what motivates him in life and poker. You'll also hear about Dario Sammartino, who finished runner-up in the 2019 WSOP Main Event, finally getting his first bracelet.

Plus, get your $25K Fantasy Update and learn about winners from other Vegas properties including Golden Nugget, Wynn, and Venetian. They include Lindsey Kludt, Brock Wilson, Florian Duta, and Ori Hasson, among others.

Finally, hear about the PokerNews Cup happening on Global Poker right now!

The $25K Fantasy league rolls on, and as of June 19, Team The Dinkers (Josh Kay) is still on top with 899 points, which is a good bit ahead of both Team Sternheimer (765 points) and Team Baker (673 points). Of the 19 teams, Team Chingas is on the bottom with 213 points. Check out 25Kfantasy.com to see the current standings.

PokerNews has been tracking $25K Fantasy players in our live updates and has even made it simple to follow the action by tagging all players with a $25K Fantasy badge. That allows you to utilize our chip count filter option to follow only those players (just tick the $25K Fantasy badge); what’s more, each blog will have a “$25K Fantasy” tab that if you click all you will see are hands played by $25K Fantasy players.

As a result, we can capture some of the biggest, best, and most game-changing hands involving the $25K Fantasy roster. Here are five from the last week of action in the 2024 WSOP.
