    The Lock-In 111~ Will Shillibier: 2025 Poker News In Review Show

    This week, we are locked in with PokerNews Managing Editor Will Shillibier. Since 2025 was a bumper year for poker news stories, the lads thought who better to hit up for an end-of-year review episode but a man who has spent over a dozen years in the news side of the industry. After Dara pitches his new multi-way Simplify Poker course, David plucks four of the biggest stories of the year to re-visit. A red-letter year for women in the game, the growth of poker in Asia and the extraordinary achievements of Michael Mizrachi are given excellent context by Will and Dara while David attempts to look at The Milly Maker controversy through the lens of what he believes are hypocritical recent actions by the WSOP. There is also a look ahead to a potentially huge story in 2026 as the US player’s tax situation remains unresolved. That’s a wrap for 2025!
