Episode Description

<p>In the 927th episode of the <em>PokerNews Podcast</em>, <strong>Chad Holloway</strong> is joined by <strong>Connor Richards</strong> at Level 9 Studios to talk about the <strong>impact of artificial intelligence (AI)</strong> when it comes to poker content. The discussion stems from the recent controversy involving the World Series of Poker (WSOP) documentary <em><strong>No Limit</strong></em>, in which showrunner <strong>Dustin Iannotti</strong> admittedly used AI in edits involving <strong>Alan Keating</strong>'s quotes. The show was pulled from YouTube by the WSOP as a result, and opened up a whole can of worms.</p> <p><em>PokerNews</em> also pissed off <strong>Shaun Deeb</strong> with an AI oopsie of our own, while <strong>ClubWPT Gold's tweet</strong> stirred up a heated debate about marketing, <strong>women in poker</strong>, and more. It was a debate that <strong>Abby Merk</strong> jumped into headfirst while at the Asian Poker Tour (APT), where she booked a tournament win!</p> <p>From there, you can see highlights from the <strong>2nd Annual Big Deal for One Drop Charity Event</strong> during F1 Las Vegas, which involved <strong>Phil Hellmuth</strong>, <strong>Jennifer Tilly</strong>, and <strong>Antonio Esfandiari</strong>, just to name a few. Oh, and the title came down to Deeb and <em>Squid Games: The Challenge</em> star <strong>Steven Jones</strong>. Watch to find out who won!</p> <p>Chad and Connor then recap recent tournament wins by <strong>Aaron Johnson</strong> and <strong>Jake Long</strong> at MSPT Ameristar East Chicago, <strong>Felipe Boianovsky</strong> taking down the Brazilian Series of Poker (BSOP) $50K Super High Roller, and <strong>Ted Jackson-Spivack</strong> claiming three CMSOP titles before they share what they're thankful for on this <strong>Thanksgiving holiday</strong>.</p> <p>Find out all about those stories and more in this week's episode of the <em>PokerNews Podcast</em>!</p> <p>A new <em>PokerNews Podcast</em> drops every Thursday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time.
