On the latest episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Connor Richards, and Matt Hansen come to you from both the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise in The Bahamas!
Before they jump into all things WSOP Paradise, the crew gets listeners up to speed on the World Poker Tour (WPT) World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas, which has crowed a slew of side event winners, including Lisa Costello’s victory in the Ladies Event. Plus, the $1,100 WPT Prime drew a massive field and is set to award a seven-figure top prize.
In regards to the WSOP Paradise, the crew talks about the surprise appearance of 2022 EPT Prague champ Jordan Saccucci, who was a week removed from being arrested in Canada on home robbery charges. His stay didn’t last long in the Main Event as casino officials removed him from contention. Find out what happened here.
They then discuss Phil Hellmuth’s grand entrance as Poseidon flocked by 17 mermaids and a Bahamian marching band, highlight bracelet winners from the series thus far, and Erik Seidel capturing his 10th gold bracelet, becoming just the fifth player in history to do so. Connor even grabbed a winner interview with the Poker Hall of Famer.
Finally, the crew discuss the finale of GGPoker’s Poker After Dark Game of Gold complete with an interview with Season 1 champ Maria Ho!
