In the 973rd episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by FanDuel Poker, Chad Holloway is at the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) where he sits down with high-stakes poker superstar Alan Keating.
Arguably one of the most popular poker players in this day and age, Keating talks about why he conceded the first round of the $25K Heads-Up Championship, whether or not he'll be playing some tournaments, and how he feels about High Stakes Live coming to the WSOP. That includes the upcoming Million Dollar Cash Game, which Keating admits he's happy to be a part of, and even hints that Phil Hellmuth might play. But then again, maybe not.
Keating then shares which reality TV show he applied for, hosting epic Ultimate Werewolf parties, and his thoughts on the Poker Hall of Fame now that he's turned 40 and is officially eligible.
