2024 WSOP: Masks & Solvers at the Table? Mystery Bounty Duds? Arieh & Deeb Weigh I

In the 835th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad
Holloway is joined by poker pros Shaun
Deeb and Josh Arieh, who fill in as
special co-hosts at Level 9 in Las Vegas where the 2024
World Series of Poker (WSOP) is happening now! 


Hear about how Fortnite helped them form Team
Lucky alongside Matt Glantz and
reigning WSOP Main Event champ Daniel Weinman,
Arieh's Poker Stake venture, and their thoughts on the
Poker Hall of Fame, including Scott
Seiver's chances of getting in after he recently won his
fifth gold bracelet. They also weigh in on two hot topics from
this week in poker -- whether or not phones, spurred by solver
software debates, and excessive masking should be allowed at
poker tables.


Speaking of gold, Malcolm Trayner captured his
first WSOP bracelet in Event #5: $1,000 Mystery Millions for
$1,000,000, while two other players scored million-dollar
bounties. Unfortunately, their reactions were a bit subdued, much
to the dismay of many in the poker community. That said, two
other players had boisterous celebrations when they pulled
six-figure bounties. See them all in the latest episode, as well
as a winner interview from Trayner.


Finally, learn about other bracelet winners such as David
Prociak and Simeon Spasov, get an
update on the $25K Fantasy league, and see
Jack Binion walk the halls of the Horseshoe and
reminisce about 55 years of the WSOP!


A new PokerNews Podcast will drop twice weekly during the 2024
WSOP every Tuesday and Friday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time.
