In the 846th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway and Kyna England are joined at Level 9 Studio by PokerNews Pennsylvania Ambassador Keith Becker, who served as special co-host to talk about the latest happenings at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP).
That included a controversial hand from Day 3 that some viewed as an angle and/or scummy, as well as the wild seven-bet bubble hand on Day 4. What two hands could inspire two big stacks to get 120 big blinds all in preflop on the money bubble? Find out here. The trio also take a look at the WSOP Main Event payouts and how they compare to past years, which former Main Event champs lasted the longest, and how both Mo Nuwwarah and Josh Reichard took pre-tournament misfortune and used it as motivation to make a deep run into Day 5.
Chad also shares why he was inspired to turn extra links from his WSOP gold bracelet into a pair of gold earrings, while Keith talks about his life in the Keystone State, which includes a successful Twitch stream. As a matter of fact, he even streamed from the recently completed Global Poker x PokerNews Cup, which crowned a pair of Freeroll Finale Champions.
Finally, hear about recent WSOP gold bracelet winners including Garth Yettick, Carsten Heidemann, Matthew Alsante, and Chance Kornuth, who took down Event #85: $1,000 Flip & Go for his fourth gold bracelet. Hear from Kornuth himself in our winner's interview. Oh, and don't forget your regular $25K Fantasy update.

Anatoliy Zlotnikov raised from the small blind and was called by Mike Leah in the big blind.
Zlotnikov continued for 475,000 on the 4♥A♣6♥. But after some time, Leah decided to raise, pushing forward two piles of chips for a total of 2,000,000.
Mike Leah under the gun and Anatoliy Zlotnikov in the big blind apparently checked the K♣10♠9♦ flop, then Leah bet 400,000 on the A♣ turn.
Zlotnikov, who checked, announced "pot" and raised to almost 2,000,000. Leah took his time and called.
On the 7♠ river, Zlotnikov moved all-in for 2,660,000. Leah went into the tank and folded. Immediately, Zlotnikov flipped over J♣9♥6♥2♥ and cheered with his rail.
