In the 825th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by WPTGlobal, Chad Holloway and Lukas "RobinPoker" Robinson come to you from the WPT Voyage in the Bahamas to discuss the latest poker news, stories, and gossip.
That includes talking about their experiences on the WPT Voyage, battling against reigning WPT World Champion Dan Sepiol, playing tennis with Tony Dunst and Robinson's breakout casting on GGPoker's Game of Gold.
The two also talked about Robinson making a mini-documentary while on board the WPT Voyage and who he would like to see on the second season of Game of Gold.

In the 824th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by PokerStars, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz & Kyna England come to you from Level 9 Studios in Las Vegas to discuss the latest poker news, stories, and gossip. 
That includes diving into old-school legends Mike Matusow and Phil Laak being back in the poker spotlight, the former having crushed on Hustler Casino Live (HCL) -- including being a part of a big set-over-set hand -- and the latter returning to High Stakes Poker. That opened up a discussion on the Poker Hall of Fame, and whether or not either of those players deserve to be in. 
From there, the crew discusses chopping in poker, which was spurred by poker pro Nick Pupillo negotiating a kind chop in the WPT Rolling Thunder Mystery Bounty Event. Hear their thoughts on chopping in general, as well as some fun chop stories.
Kyna then gives props to her Game of Gold costar Olga Iermolcheva, who was recently featured on a magazine cover, explains the meaning behind her Team Hotdog hoodie, and reveals she'll be attending the upcoming RGPS Reno. Finally, the crew wraps things up by looking ahead to the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) by sharing what events they're most excited about.

That includes Nik Airball's 20-minute tank in a big hand on The Lodge Poker Live Stream, which prompted Doug Polk to take action. That led into a discussion on pet peeves at the table, and in Mike's case, the pet part is quite literal.

Chad chatted with Eyring about his crazy quest and highlights various clips throughout the episode.
Finally, the crew once again touches on Kevin Martin's 24/7 stream while attempting to win $5,000 playing online, which came to an unceremonius end.

In the 821st episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz & Kyna England come to you from Level 9 Studios in Las Vegas to discuss the latest poker news, stories, and gossip. That includes the recent drama surrounding Tom "durrrr" Dwan, who recently talked to PokerNews in a 45-minute in-depth conversation about debt allegations recently leveled against him by Peter Jetten and Haralabos Voulgaris. 
Suffice it to say Dwan didn't give very clear answers. Some say he spouted a word salad to most of the questions, and our crew took a look at some clips and offered their thoughts. We also asked Dwan point blank if he's ever been kidnapped by the Triads, an urban legend of sorts in the poker world.
Mike and Kyna then talked about their respective tournament successes since the last show, which led to a larger talk about women in poker and how the industry sometimes struggles to market to such a large segment of the population. From there, it was on to a discussion about the recent uptick of poker-related names venturing into the reality TV space including Boston Rob Mariano, Brantzen Poker, and Athena Jett.
Finally, the crew touched on Kevin Martin's 24/7 stream while attempting to win $5,000 playing online and close it out by offering their thoughts on the often-critical Allen Kessler.

In the 820th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway sat down with Tom "durrrr" Dwan for a 45-minute in-depth conversation about the debt allegations recently level against him by Peter Jetten and Haralabos Voulgaris. 
Jetten, who has over $9.3 million in The Hendon Mob cashes, was first to bring forth allegations against Dwan for failing to pay off debts. He did so on Feb. 18 when he wrote: "Would caution against doing business with Tom Dwan. He's owed me 226k for 4 years and continues to use delay tactics to avoid payment."
Find out what Dwan had to say about the whole situation.
