In the 901st episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway and Kyna England are joined by PokerStars commentator James Hartigan at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas to talk about the latest poker stories including a cheating scandal at the JokerStars poker room in Texas, the same room that former NFL star Adrian Peterson recently got into a fistfight.
They also discuss Albert Ng and his continued firing in ladies event satellites, nasty comments from a recent article recognizing Pride Month, and recent winners from the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) including Dylan Linde, Adrian Mateos, Matthew Wantman, Darren Elias, and Benny Glaser, who set some records after capturing his third bracelet of the summer and eighth overall.
Other recent tournament winners include Tirza Sanders in the Venetian Ladies High Roller, Jesse Lonis at the Wynn Summer Classic, and Manuel Ferrari at the 2025 PokerStars Open Malaga €1,100 Main Event. Speaking of PokerStars, this weekend they're hosting a Meet-Up Game (MUG) at Resorts World in which they'll award the first seat into the 2025 NAPT, while PokerNews will host a MUG of our own this Friday starting at 8p PT at the new poker room inside Planet Hollywood. Get details on both in this episode.
Finally, the $50,000 Poker Players Championship is happening now. Prior to the event, Chad looked into what happened to the Chip Reese Trophy, and you might be surprised by what he found out.
Learn about all those stories and more in the latest episode of the PokerNews Podcast!

Reigning World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event champion Jonathan Tamayo flipped his way into this year's championship event, meaning he won't even have to put up the $10,000 buy-in to defend his title.
Tamayo announced on Sunday that he won a WSOP Online $160 All-In Flipament, a flip-and-go-style event that puts players all-in blind and that needs 64 players to run, according to Kevin Mathers.
Tamayo demonstrated his luck a year ago when he navigated the largest WSOP Main Event field in history to win $10 million. The longtime poker pro from Texas proved luck is still on his side in 2025.
"I won the 3pm one it seems," Tamayo wrote on X.

In the 902nd episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway and Mike Holtz do an emergency show to discuss the industry-shaking collusion controversy that stemmed from the heads-up match between Jesse Yaginuma and James Carroll in the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Millionaire Maker. Not only were seven-figure prizes up for grabs, but there was also a $1,000,000 bonus if Yaginuma were to win thanks to an outside promotion.
That fact made a big impact on what allegedly went down. Find out what happened, what fans and players are saying, and whether or not ClubWPT Gold will award the $1,000,000 bonus. Also, the WSOP did issue a statement and has yet to finalize the results of the tournament. What might happen next is anyone's guess, but Chad and Mike discuss some potential scenarios.
