Donnie Peters dives into the latest from the Las Vegas poker scene, focusing on Alex Foxen’s fourth bracelet win and a payday north of $600,000.

Foxen continues to build his poker legacy, and apparently, his jewelry collection.

The episode also highlights other recent bracelet winners, though Foxen’s triumph is clearly the main event. Donnie puts the spotlight on the steady stream of success coming out of the World Series.

“Foxen’s consistency at the tables is what sets him apart,” Donnie notes, as he recaps the key moments and results from the last week.

Just another day at the office for Andrew Robl.

Andrew Robl makes high-stakes poker look like a casual Tuesday night at home, except with a lot more zeros. In this highlight reel, the only thing higher than the stakes are the eyebrows of everyone watching him call, raise, and occasionally just stare down the table.

2025 was the year poker’s glass ceiling got a few more cracks.

The 2025 World Series of Poker might be remembered for more than just bad beats and big stacks.

According to PokerNews, Shiina Okamoto’s successful defense of her Ladies Championship title was only the start.

Leo Margets then made headlines as the first woman in thirty years to reach the Main Event final table.

Daniel Negreanu is back with his WSOP vlog series, tackling Day 2 of the $50,000 PLO High Roller.

The video moves through his morning routine, strategy talks, and some hand breakdowns, with occasional cameos from Amanda and shoutouts to other pros.

The latest WSOP Countdown Show sets its sights on the $10,000 Mystery Bounty and $25,000 PLO High Roller final tables, but the real question is all about Alex Foxen’s relentless Player of the Year chase.

Jeff Platt and Joe Stapleton break down the fields, with plenty of talk about Foxen’s dominance and what it might take to dethrone him.

🚭A player at the 2026 WSOP, Brazilian João Siqueira, caused some commotion after he was caught smoking a cigarette at the table and then attempted to pocket his chips.

According to PokerNews, smoking has been banned in US poker rooms for over 20 years, but Siqueira was undeterred, even as others at the table called for penalties.

Security stepped in and Siqueira was eventually removed from the tournament for smoking and putting his chips in his pocket, as well as reportedly drinking excessively. Despite the ejection, PokerNews reports that he is not banned from Caesars properties and is expected to return to the WSOP soon.

Michael Mizrachi has spent the last year riding the wave of his 2025 WSOP main event victory.

After winning both the $50,000 Poker Players Championship for a record fourth time and the $10,000 main event for $10 million, Mizrachi’s trophy shelf is now crowded enough to require its own zip code.

As Lance Bradley via ESPN notes, “he has lived out of his suitcase, spending more time on an airplane than at any other point in his 21-year-long Hall of Fame career. And he’s exhausted.” Still, the grind continues as he returns to Las Vegas to try to do it all again.

The cherry on top? Poker legends didn’t even bother with the usual Hall of Fame process. As Bradley puts it,

They skipped the public nomination process entirely, bypassed the 'one inductee per year’ rule… and made him the 63rd member of the PHOF.

Read the full article from Bradley below.

The WSOP Poker Players Championship win was not to be for Michael Mizrachi.

But there’s still the Main Event to come 👀.

Norman Chad and Lon McEachern have been calling the action for more than two decades, and not even they expected to become the voices of poker.

In this recent interview with PokerOrg, they talk about the turning point in 2003, when Chris Moneymaker’s win brought poker into the mainstream. Now, with ESPN bringing back WSOP coverage, they’re ready for another round.

They admit that the poker world has changed—celebrity players, social media challenges, and a different relationship with the audience. As Chad puts it, “We never thought we’d still be here after all these years, but poker keeps reinventing itself.”

The duo is optimistic about where poker broadcasting is headed, even if the biggest obstacle these days is keeping up with X.

GGPoker on 🔥.

According to Anuj’s piece on pokerfuse, this year’s GG World Festival at GGPoker set yet another high watermark, distributing over $350 million in prizes.

The fourth edition of the festival saw more than 6 million entries across 1,536 events, with three tournaments each generating prize pools of at least $10 million.

The $10,000 GGMillion$ Main Event topped the list at $12.5 million, followed by the $525 World Bounty Festival and the $1,500 Championship.

GGPoker claims this cements the GG World Festival’s status as the largest recurring online poker tournament series in the industry.
