Chris Moneymaker Binks, Phil Hellmuth Turns 60 & Missed Overlays

In the 830th 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 Chris
Moneymaker winning the Triton Super High Roller
Series Montenegro Event #1: $25,000 NLH for a huge
$903K score. 


They then show and talk about Arden Cho getting felted
four times in five hands on Hustler Casino Live (HCL)
and Phil Hellmuth celebrating his 60th birthday two
months early in Las Vegas with his "Billionaire Bestie
Bash". Several big names made appearances including NBA star
Draymond Green and world conqueror Elon
Musk. Hellmuth shares various clips from his birthday
festivities, which you can watch in this new episode.


From there, the crew talk about a jam-packed weekend of
tournament action that may have been too busy resulting in
two massive overlays at The Lodge in Texas and
Borgata in Atlantic City. Meanwhile, Maurice Hawkins
returns as a controversial topic on the PokerNews
Podcast as he shipped the WSOP Circuit Harrah's Cherokee Main
Event for $259K and his 16th gold ring. Is this in opportunity
for the vilified Hawkins to do right and settle the court
judgment against him? 


Other winners highlighted included Jonathan Wang
taking down the RGPS Graton for $86K, and Lex Veldhuis
winning his first-ever COOP title when he won SCOOP
41-H: $5,200 NLHE Titans for $140K. What's more, he did it while
streaming the action. See his moment of victory here. Finally,
May 14 marked the first anniversary of Doyle Brunson's
passing. Chad shares some stories about "Texas Dolly,"
including the time he played beer pong, and then reviews the
audiobook version of Brunson's autobiography The Godfather of
Poker.


Oh, and you'll have a chance to win a copy of that audiobook
simply by listening/watching the podcast on YouTube and leaving a
comment. We'll randomly select a winner before next week's show.
