What’s Phil Ivey Up To? Hellmuth at WSOP Paradise, ClubWPT $5M Freeroll is Here!

In the 869th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, sponsored by the
free-to-play WSOP App, Chad Holloway hosts from
down in The Bahamas at the 2024 World Series of Poker
Paradise, while Kyna England is back at
Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas. Mike Holtz is out with a broken
ankle, so Nikki Limo was kind enough to once
again fill in as a special co-host.


Together, they discuss happening at the WSOP Paradise, the
World Poker Tour (WPT) World Championship at the
Wynn Las Vegas, and the European Poker Tour (EPT)
Prague. That includes Phil Hellmuth
making an appearance, the new stage at WSOP, and
the Triton Million, which was won by Argentinean
rapper Alejandro Lococo for $12 million.


Chad also had the honor of bringing the Women in Poker
Hall of Fame trophy down with him to present to
Kristen Foxen. In this episode, you can check
out her acceptance speech, which PokerNews helped film. Speaking
of the WiPHoF, Jeanne David was another inductee
and she had a spot of luck drawing a Golden Passport into the
ClubWPT Gold $5,000,000 Freeroll, which kicks
off today!


At the EPT Prague, Thomas Santerne has already
won two side event titles, while the 2022 WSOP Main Event champ,
Espen Jorstad, took down the €25K Super High
Roller Warm-Up for his first EPT title.


Other stories covered include Dylan Smith
winning the WPT RRPO Championship for $662,200, Nadya
Magnus & Dan Sepiol giving away two
WPT World Championship $10K seats, a big live-streamed cash game
hand featuring Matt Berkey running hot,
John Germano taking down the 2024 Bar
Poker Open Florida Championship, David
Jackson finding success at the WSOP Circuit Horseshoe
Las Vegas, and Erick Lindgren capturing a title
at the ARIA.


Oh, and we'll also let you know what Phil Ivey is up
to as he's been seen double dipping at both the WSOP
Paradise and WPT World Championship, including a planned holiday
meet-up game (MUG) at the latter.
