The PokerNews Podcast this week is all about the drama at the WSOP E.
Chad sits down with Josh Arieh to dissect a viral incident where a player was disqualified from the tournament for losing his cool. They don’t stop there. Next up is the PLO bubble controversy, where high tensions led to some questionable calls.
Josh Arieh also discusses his own deep run in the Main Event, offering up a few insights on what it takes to go the distance in a field of hungry competitors.
Look who’s promoting the new PokerStars Exclusively on FanDuel platform—Vegas Matt.
He’s a massive name in the casino space, streaming live play every single day, and has already been working with FanDuel for some time now. They even produced a documentary series around him.
While his poker background is fairly limited, he has made appearances in a few Celebrity Poker Tour events.
Still, it’s a notable crossover and a clear sign of where the marketing push is heading.
Authorities in Texas decided not to file criminal charges, but they’re holding onto the $2 million taken from the club as the civil asset forfeiture deadline loomed.
The case is far from over. This is worth a watch if you want to get up to date with what is happening.

Amazing scenes.
The Sunday Million runs on FanDuel Poker THIS weekend, for the first time ever. It’s all very exciting.
Don’t forget even if you used to be PokerStars US player you need to sign up all over again now that the platform exists on FanDuel.
During a Q&A with Run It Once, Dwan paused for half a minute before launching into a rant involving the CIA and the Trump administration.
“The hand wasn’t clean. I’m not going to go into specifics, but the hand wasn’t clean.”
The tournament, with a cool €10 million guaranteed, is now at the stage where only the top players remain, each one trying to outlast the others for a shot at the final table.
If you want the blow-by-blow, the WSOP is offering live updates and official coverage.
Lots of famous faces are making the list.
Hellmuth’s Home Game is sponsored by BetRivers Poker, but what makes it stand out is that it features zero commentary—so it’s just table talk all the way.
I, for one, am a fan!
The field is thinning and the pressure is mounting, with everyone focused on that €10,000,000 guarantee.
The livestream captures every twitch and sigh as players battle for their tournament lives.
But we are big fans and looking forward to watching this!
If you don’t remember the anal beads controversy then who even are you?!
Last year, thanks to BetRivers Poker poker player, Leah Bella (@Lelepokerr on X), got an opportunity to play with Phil Hellmuth, who was her late-father’s favorite player.
What a nice thing to do for someone!
All in on every hand is a bold strategy, especially when pints are involved. In this live poker vlog, Spraggy plays every single hand at the table and the results are about as chaotic as you’d expect.
If you enjoy watching someone embrace the chaos and poke fun at their own play, this one is your cup of tea.
Yes it is that Kristen Foxen Triton Jeju Main Event pocket-kings-hand.
The hand created so many armchair experts, Doug Polk had to wade in.
The hand itself has become the subject of much speculation, with viewers left to wonder what exactly Foxen did that broke the mold.
Was it an epic fold, a hero call, or just a case of kings getting cracked in spectacular fashion? Doug gets into it.
The Bank of Antonio Esfandiari was open for business, with Nick Wright making more withdrawals than he did hero calls on the Big Game on Tour finale.
Per Ivan’s round up on pokerfuse, while Esfandiari and Gronk hogged the spotlight, Rania Nasreddine quietly racked up six figures and the two Phils (Laak and Hellmuth) just tried to stay solvent.
It’s not every day that we see someone folding A-K to a min 4-bet before the flop, but if anyone can pull that move, it’s Phil Hellmuth.
Phil folded the Big Slick against Gronk on the latest episode of The Big Game, despite being down money, and he wants the entire poker world to know about it.
The final episode of the Big Game on Tour is here. Last time, Gronk and Antonio were the two players driving the action, but with only a few dozen hands left, the rest of the table will be looking for opportunities to add to their winnings or claw back some of the losses.
Most players still have their Bomb Pot cards, and this is the last opportunity to put them to good use, so action is guaranteed!
In a hand that makes most wallets sweat, he goes all in with pocket queens for $17,860. The video doesn’t dwell on the agony, just the action.
Owen keeps things light, but the stakes are anything but. He seems unfazed by the five-figure pot, focusing instead on the decision-making process. As he sums it up:
Sometimes in poker you just have to trust your read and go with it.
The comments section agrees, with viewers split between admiration and secondhand anxiety. It is just another day at the tables for Owen, but for most of us, that’s a year’s salary on the line.
Spraggy breaks down what it claims to be the greatest final table in history, but it is less about the actual hands and more about the strategy and decision-making behind each play.
The focus is on game theory, mathematical probabilities, and the adjustments the pros make under pressure.
Hosted by PonceP and Londam, the show brings a fresh, relaxed vibe to poker discussions. Each month, a new guest joins the table for casual conversations full of entertaining stories, no lectures, no formal segments, just genuine talk. It’s a filmed podcast, designed to be lighthearted and easygoing, unlike any poker show Winamax TV has done before.
The first episode features Harper, the well-known poker journalist who has long been a key figure behind Winamax’s coverage and poker storytelling in France.
Check out the first episode!
Chad speaks with Texas Card House owner Ryan Crow about the Lodge raid and the legal gray area that clubs like his operate in.
The episode offers a preview for a new documentary, “Battle for Texas Poker,” which promises to dig into the high-stakes drama behind the scenes.
The man who sparked the poker boom more than two decades ago thinks it could happen again. It might not have the same impact as in 2003, but Chris Moneymaker believes the WSOP’s renewed deal with ESPN has the potential to grow the game once more.
Check out his latest interview with Poker Org.
According to Poker Night’s latest livestream, the real action comes less from the cards and more from the personalities.
Jennifer Tilly, Xuan Liu, Jungleman, BetRivers Poker ambassador Phil Hellmuth, and Kelly Minkin share the table for a cash game that is equal parts poker and performance art.
Chad, Mike, and Ben discuss everything from Doug’s commitment to players to the slew of raid conspiracy theories.
Despite the ongoing investigation into illegal gambling and money laundering, everyone hopes there might be a positive outcome, though nobody is willing to put a timeline on it.
The WSOP Circuit event at Texas Card House is still on, so poker in Texas isn’t folding just yet. For now, everyone is playing the waiting game.
As the WSOP Prague stop is underway, famous faces descend. For the first time high stakes poker pro Andy Stacks will be playing in the event.
Check out his pre-game Q&A below.
Doug Polk’s video explaining what happened at the Lodge has been long in the making, but it’s finally here. At this point, it doesn’t offer many new insights, but it does talk about some of the theories that we’ve seen thrown around.
Perhaps the most important new fact is that the government has until April 9 to submit the request for civil forfeiture. Without this request, all the money and assets that were seized will have to be returned.
While the future of the Texas card club remains uncertain, Polk has once again confirmed that he’ll personally make all the players whole, no matter what.
With 1,476 players left and 1,465 paid, it’s the classic moment where every hand feels like life and death—at least for the short stacks. Winamax’s sponsored pro Leo Margets, sits comfortably with 383,000 chips at 4,000/8,000 blinds, and is our guide through the tension in this episode.
And if you all remember correctly Margets made history that year. What. A. Run.
Ivan reports that this week’s The Big Game on Tour was all about Gronk, who had the pros scratching their heads.
After losing chips with a cautious approach, Gronk switched gears. He won a big pot with pocket kings and suddenly decided to play several hands without ever checking his cards.
Ahead of his high-stakes cash game stream, Doug mentioned his upcoming video, which will get into what really went down at the Lodge.
He says he is awaiting approval—presumably from legal—before it airs, but it should be soon.
The Loose Cannon may be out, but the game continues. The Big Game on Tour is back for another episode, featuring the likes of Phil Hellmuth, Antonio Esfandiari, and Phil Laak.
But, it is Rania Nasreddine coming back as the big winner, up well over $100k from the last session. Will her run continue?
Here’s a nice little round up from the action from Day 1.
But is that shirt tripping anyone else?
And now for something completely different! Daniel Negreanu has just posted his very first golfing video.
It’s no secret that Kid Poker is into golf, but this is the first time he filmed himself playing and posted it for the whole world to see.
