There will be a delayed start in the $5,300 High Roller. When action gets underway, PokerNews will be on hand to deliver updates.
In the 866th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, sponsored by the free-to-play WSOP App, Chad Holloway, and Mike Holtz are joined by 2006 WSOP Player of the Year Jeff Madsen at Level 9 Studio.
Fresh off a third-place finish in the 2024 NAPT, Madsen fills in for Kyna England, who is actually in England right now.
Like the rest of the poker world, the trio is mesmerized by poker wizard 'Gambledore,' who is Estonia's Vladimir Korzinin. The 69-year-old bearded amateur took Triton Montenegro by storm and, within a month, has vaulted to the top of the Estonia all-time money list and etched his name in poker lore. This is his tale.
They then update you on the winner of High Stakes Duel 5 Round 2 between Jared Bleznick and Patrik Antonius. Chad goes behind the scenes of the Global Poker Table Talk event during Formula 1 featuring Antonio Esfandiari, Michael Phelps, Carlos Sainz, and Charles Leclerc. See video footage from inside the PokerGO Studio.
Similarly, Chad and Connor Richards attended theCelebrity Poker Tour (CPT) 2024 Championship and talked with Maria Ho, Sketch, Vegas Matt, and rapper Maxo Cream. You get to see what they had to say in this episode!
