The schedule is out for the first-ever World Series of Poker (WSOP) under GGPoker's ownership, and it will feature a 56-year record for most live gold bracelet events ever.
Poker players from all across the globe will descend upon Las Vegas starting May 27 for the first of 100 bracelet events. The action begins on Opening Day with the $1,000 buy-in Mystery Millions, a no-limit hold 'em event with a $1,000,000 top mystery bounty prize. The series will wrap on July 16 with the final table of the $10,000 Main Event.
Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Connor Richards sat down to discuss the schedule including a look at the six new events, how Mike may have inspired a change to one long-running tournament, and how much it would cost you to fire one bullet into every event.

In the 878th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which has been nominated for 'Podcast of the Year' at the Global Poker Awards, Chad Holloway, Kyna England, and Mike Holtz remember poker legend "Miami" John Cernuto, who recently passed away from cancer at the age of 81.
PokerNews' Calum Grant then sits down with Charlie Carrel to discuss his recent social media post calling out an alleged scammer he claims owes him $60,000. That led Mike to call out a Las Vegas poker player that he says owes him and many others money. From there, Mike dives into the bleak state of online poker in Nevada, which has been compounded by the legal challenges facing the Sweepstakes Model utilized by several poker entities.
Kyna then talks about going deep in another MSPT tournament and reaching MSPT Icon status, Anthony Scarborough winning the Poker Bowl IX in Las Vegas, and the RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) partnering with ClubWPT Gold for their 2025 Spring season. The crew then toss it to Connor Richards for a special look inside the new Venetian Poker Studio complete with an interview with Venetian Director of Poker Operations Tommy Larosa.
From there, the crew discuss a pair of basketball-related stories with strong connections to the poker world, how Ethan "Rampage" Yau came to the rescue, and finally a reminder to enter our giveaway for a copy of The Las Vegas Book, which is valued at $495.

In the 877th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which has been nominated for 'Podcast of the Year' at the Global Poker Awards, Chad Holloway, Kyna England, and Mike Holtz discuss ACR calling Nacho Barbero a "goofball" after serious accusations arose when the Argentinean pro shared a social media post that showed him using GTO Wizard. Patrick Leonard did a deep dive into the data, and while it apparently shows no nefarious activity, it did get the community questioning the situation as a whole.
Chad and Kyna also share their experience at the massive MSPT Potawatomi, which saw them both cash on just one bullet apiece. Get a look at their Wisconsin adventure, and find out where they each finished. They also highlight the winner of that tournament as well as Angela Jordison, who took down a side event.

In the 875th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which has been nominated for 'Podcast of the Year' at the Global Poker Awards, Chad Holloway, Kyna England, and Mike Holtz dive into the wild story of a Supreme Court attorney who is in hot water over poker taxes. What makes the tale of Tom Goldstein so interesting is that the sums he played for were astronomical with him having reportedly won $50 million only to lose it all plus another $14 million.
While his name might not be familiar to the poker masses, you may have either heard about or seen him before as he was written about in The Setup, which was written by his friend Dan Bilzerian, and he also appeared on the Hustler Casino Live (HCL) $1,000,000 Cash Game last year as the mysterious, masked "Thomas" where he mucked the winning hand at showdown in a pot worth $540,000!
The crew then chat about Leon Tsoukernik awakening from a 40-hour coma after a Propofol overdose, with his future very much up in the air. They also get into a bad poker promotion that almost ran at a Las Vegas casino on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, highlight the upcoming 2025 Leaf Metal Poker trading card set, and discuss popular ARIA dealer Clyde âSnack Attackâ Gaskins appearing on Netflix's Queer Eye.
Finally, they wrap things up by recapping some big winners including Pamela Belote setting the new women's record for most WSOP Circuit rings, Martins Adeniya taking down the 2025 Lucky Hearts Poker Open Championship, and Andrew Lichtenberger defeating Nick Schulman in the latest PGT event.

Fresh off a third-place finish in the 2024 NAPT, Madsen fills in for Kyna England who is actually in England.
Like the rest of the poker world, the trio is mesmerized by poker wizard 'Gambledore,' who is actually Estonia's Vladimir Korzinin. The 69-year-old bearded amateur took the recent Triton Poker stop by storm and within a month has vaulted to the top of the Estonia all-time money list while etching his name in poker lore. This is his tale.
They then update you on the winner of High Stakes Duel 5 Round 2 between Jared Bleznik and Patrik Antonius, and Chad goes behind the scenes of the Global Poker Table Talk event during Formula 1 featuring Antonio Esfandiari, Michael Phelps, Carlos Sainz, and Charles Leclerc.
