Chad Holloway

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

In the 906th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Kyna England, and Mike Holtz are back at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas to discuss the latest news and highlights from the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP), including Daniel Negreanu suggesting that poker players shouldn't hesitate to call the clock on other slow-acting players.

Other stories include Will Kassouf being back in the poker spotlight, for better or worse, as well as how the PokerNews Podcast crew did in the 2025 WSOP Main Event. Hint: Kyna, who is now representing Tilted Compass, did an interview with Jeff Platt while Chad got pulled up on the PokerGO live stream. They also highlight Shaun Deeb capturing his seventh bracelet and setting himself up to win POY, Nick Ahmadi taking down the PokerNews Deepstack Championship, PokerGO founder Cary Katz claiming his first bracelet, and Chris Moneymaker winning another Moneymaker Tour title.

Finally, Maria Ho talks about releasing Pokerriculum (viewers/listeners have a chance to win a free copy of the game), and an update on the PokerNews Podcast Fantasy League between Mike, Chad/Kyna, Joey Ingram, and Christina Gollins.

A new PokerNews Podcast will drop twice a week during the 2025 WSOP every Thursday and Sunday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time. Remember to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you do not miss an episode!

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Li raised in the small blind to 280,000 and got called by Joshua Boulton in the big blind. Both players saw the flop K♦2♦A♣. On the flop Li continued his 280,000 bet and got called again to see the turn 2♣. Both players checked on the turn to see the river Q♦.

Li checked and Boulton took some time to move a few towers to the middle of the table to show he was all in. Li gave it a second and decided to fold. Boulton took all his chips back and the entire pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Joshua Boulton	6,600,000 1,500,000	1,500,000
