Episode Description

<p>In the 925th episode of the <em>PokerNews Podcast</em>, <strong>Chad Holloway</strong> is once again joined by <strong>Mike Holtz</strong> and <strong>Ben Ludlow</strong> at Level 9 Studios to talk the latest stories in the poker world. That includes the massive <strong>$1.3 million pot</strong> from a special episode of <em><strong>High Stakes Poker</strong></em>, one that saw <strong>Alan Keating</strong> try and execute a huge bluff. Was it a valiant effort or an ill-timed move? </p> <p>The trio also offers their thoughts on the topic of <strong>"Should poker tournaments start earlier?"</strong>, which was being discussed on social media by <strong>Seth Davies</strong> and <strong>Jason Koon</strong>. Speaking of the latter, you'll get to see highlights from <strong>'All In with Jason Koon'</strong> from the <strong>2025 PokerStars NAPT</strong>, as well as a look at Comedy Night with <strong>Joe "Stapes" Stapleton</strong> and RunGood Trivia Night with <strong>Boston Rob Mariano</strong> and <strong>Tyson Apostol</strong> of <em>Survivor</em> fame. Chad actually caught up with the two reality TV legends for a poker trivia game of his own.</p> <p>In other NAPT news, <strong>Jeremy Ausmus</strong> beat quad aces with a Royal Flush, <strong>Nikolai Mamut</strong> defeated <strong>TJ Reid</strong> to win the NAPT PokerStars Open, and <strong>Stephen Chidwick</strong>, <strong>Cherish Andrews</strong>, and <strong>Raena Janes</strong> all took down titles. Finally, get a preview of upcoming stops, including the next <strong>Hendon Mob Championship</strong> in Cape Town and the <strong>RGPS Grand Prix San Diego.</strong></p> <p>A new <em>PokerNews Podcast</em> drops every Thursday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time.
