Episode Description

<p>In the 934th episode of the <em>PokerNews Podcast</em>, <strong>Chad Holloway</strong>, <strong>Mike Holtz</strong>, and <strong>Ben Ludlow</strong> talk about the two players who made it all the way to heads-up play and then agreed to play <strong>winner take all for the prize money</strong>. It was a wild story that saw one player walk away with a five-figure payday and the other leave empty-handed.</p> <p>The trio then discusses <strong>WPT Global's controversial signing of Ren Lin</strong> as an ambassador, which led to a discussion about ClubWPT Gold's social media strategy and how those two brands are related to the main World Poker Tour (WPT) brand. In between, former WPT Global Ambassador <strong>Xuan Liu called out the site</strong> for continuing to use her image in the Asia market.</p> <p>Chad then shares highlights from his adventure with <strong>Phil Hellmuth</strong> and his son <strong>Phillip Hellmuth III</strong> playing in a Wisconsin home game, <strong>Alex Foxen</strong> winning PokerGO Tour (PGT) Player of the Year, and winners from the <strong>PokerGO Tour Last Chance Series</strong>. Then there was <strong>Daniel Negreanu</strong> at the final table of the PGT Championship, which was won by <strong>Chad Eveslage</strong>.</p> <p>Other stories include <strong>GPI Player of the Year</strong> results, Maine becoming the ninth state to legalize online poker, and a look at <em><strong>Lost in the Shuffle</strong></em>, a documentary that explores the history of playing cards through the lens of magic.
