In the 843rd episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway and Kyna England are joined at Level 9 Studio by Joey Ingram, who served as special co-host to talk about the latest happenings at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) as well as his new partnership with GTO Wizard.
The biggest story is that of Scott Seiver, who captured his third bracelet of the summer and became just the seventh player in history to win three bracelets in the same year. Could he make history by becoming the only player to win four? He has two more weeks to do it.
Despite winning three bracelets, you might be surprised to learn that Seiver is far from a lock to win the 2024 WSOP Player of the Year; in fact, Jeremy Ausmus, who hasn't won a bracelet this summer, isn't too far behind in points thanks to a bevy of final table appearances. Would a non-bracelet winner winning POY over a three-time winner cause a controversy? The crew discusses that very possibility.
Chad then shares pictures and videos from the exclusive Global Poker party that took place at PokerGO Studio on Sunday night, while Ingram opens up about all things GTO Wizard. As usual, you'll also get your dose of other WSOP bracelet winners and a $25K Fantasy update. Oh, and did we mention talk about Daniel Negreanu, Nick Schulman, and Phil Ivey? Because that's all in there too.
A new PokerNews Podcast will drop twice weekly during the 2024 WSOP every Tuesday and Friday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time. Make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you do not miss an episode!

There was a raise to 10,000 from the cutoff. The button called and Leo Margets called out of the blinds.
The three players checked the K♠10♠8♦ flop to see the 6♣ come on the turn. Margets led out for 30,000 and got two folds from her opponents.

There was a big reaction to a river card in the middle of the floor at Horseshoe Las Vegas.
According to the players, Michael Rubinelli had raised from middle position and Troy Smothermon three-bet all in on the button. After it folded back to Rubinelli, he quickly called for his stack of 68,000 chips.
Michael Rubinelli: A♠A♦
Troy Smothermon: 4♠4♣
Upon seeing his opponent’s hand, Smotherman called for the four of diamonds. The flop came J♥4♦A♣, giving Smothermon his desired card, but Rubinelli made the better set and was still way ahead.
The turn was the 9♠. Smothermon called for his only out, the 4♥, and, to Rubinelli’s shock and dismay, got his wish again on the river. The dramatic hand gave Smothermon a nice chip-up, while Rubinelli had to hit the rail.
