LaptopGate at the 2024 WSOP Main Event, Gold Bracelet Goes Unsold & High Stakes Poker Returns

In the 849th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is
sponsored by 888poker, Chad Holloway, Mike
Holtz, and Kyna England are at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas to
talk about the "LaptopGate" controversy that
came out of Jonathan Tamayo's big win in the
2024 WSOP Main Event for $10,000,000.


How did solvers impact things? Does it constitute cheating? What
comes next? Not only do the crew talk about it, but they also
share clips from two interviews Doug Polk
conducted, the first with runner-up Jordan Griff
and the other with two prominent poker personalities
Daniel Negreanu and Alan
Keating. For those wondering what Tamayo had to say
about the situation, check out this PokerNews article here.


Plus, hear who won the summer crossbook bet between
Jeremy Becker and Landon Tice,
High Stakes Poker returning to PokerGO next
week, and how WSOP Paradise champ Stanislav Zegal failed
to sell his championship bracelet in an attempt to raise
money for charity, which in turn led to a talk about the value of
a bracelet nowadays. Finally, get a sneak preview of Connor
Richards' interview with 888poker Ambassador Ian
Simpson on his Life Outside Poker Podcast.
