Eliminations on First Hand of WSOP Main Event; Joe Stapleton Comedy Hour

In the 844th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad
Holloway and Mike Holtz are joined at
Level 9 Studio by commentator and comedian Joe "Stapes"
Stapleton, who served as special co-host to talk about
the latest happenings at the 2024 World Series of Poker
(WSOP).


That includes the 2024 WSOP Main Event kicking
off and not one, but two players busting in the
very first hand of Day 1a. Find out how it happened in
this episode and how both Chad and Kyna fared when they played.
There's also an 'In Memorium' segment
remembering those who fell during Day 1a action, who thinks Mike
gives the best massages, and a look at the recently-announced
Poker Hall of Fame nominees. Who does the panel
think should get in and why? You'll hear all about it here.


Finally, Stapes talks about his upcoming comedy
show in Las Vegas, David Eldridge gives
an interview after winning the $25K PLO High Roller bracelet, and
Nick Petrangelo won Wynn Summer Classic
Championship for $2,221,775. Check out all of those
stories and more in the latest episode of the PokerNews Podcast!
