WSOP Main Event Sets Record! Hellmuth’s Corny Entrance & Big Huni July 4th Party | PokerNews Podcast #845
In the 845th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway and Kyna England are joined at Level 9 Studio by WPT Global's Brad Owen, who served as special co-host to talk about the latest happenings at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP).
This included the record-setting turnout for the 2024 WSOP Main Event, some of the big names who've fallen and some who are still in contention, and thoughts about Phil Hellmuth's karate-themed entrance. Plus, hear about highlights from Chris "Big Huni" Hunichen's epic 4th of July Party, recent bracelet winners such as Francis Anderson and Aditya Agarwal, and how two poker players were the victims of a vehicle smash-and-grab robbery.
Owen then shares details about the WPT Global Preheat Festival, Dan Sepiol's win in the latest WPT Alpha8 Trifecta, and what's happening with The Lodge Card Room down in Texas. Finally, get an update on where things stand in the $25K Fantasy League, including a bracelet win by Wing Po Liu of Team Lady Gaga (Ren Lin), and a preview of Daniel “Jungleman” Cates on the Life Outside Poker Podcast.
