Daniel Negreanu Says No Shame in Calling Clock at 2025 WSOP; Love or Hate Will Kassouf?

In the 906th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad
Holloway, Kyna England, and
Mike Holtz are back at Level 9 Studio in Las
Vegas to discuss the latest news and highlights from the
2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP), including
Daniel Negreanu suggesting that poker players
shouldn't hesitate to call the clock on other
slow-acting players.


Other stories include Will Kassouf being back in
the poker spotlight, for better or worse, as well as how the
PokerNews Podcast crew did in the 2025 WSOP Main Event. Hint:
Kyna, who is now representing Tilted Compass, did an interview
with Jeff Platt while Chad got pulled up on the
PokerGO live stream. They also highlight Shaun Deeb
capturing his seventh bracelet and setting himself up to
win POY, Nick Ahmadi taking down the PokerNews
Deepstack Championship, PokerGO founder Cary
Katz claiming his first bracelet, and Chris
Moneymaker winning another Moneymaker Tour title.


Finally, Maria Ho talks about releasing
Pokerriculum (viewers/listeners have a chance to
win a free copy of the game), and an update on the
PokerNews Podcast Fantasy League between Mike,
Chad/Kyna, Joey Ingram, and Christina
Gollins.


A new PokerNews Podcast will drop twice a week during the 2025
WSOP every Thursday and Sunday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time.
