Is Poker’s Newest Villain Martin Kabrhel Unstoppable After Huge Win?

In the 905th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad
Holloway and Mike Holtz are joined by
Rec Poker's Jim Reid at Level 9 Studio in Las
Vegas to discuss the latest news and highlights from the
2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP), including
Martin Kabrhel, who topped a massive field in
the Mini Main Event to claim his fourth gold bracelet. Love him
or hate him, poker's newest villain/hero is consistent and
seemingly here to stay!


Then learn what Daniel Negreanu had to say about the
alledged chip dumping that occurred between Jesse
Yaginuma and James Carroll in the 2025 WSOP Millionaire Maker
tournament, David Lappin's critical Op-Ed of
Negreanu's take, and a couple of wild hands including
Barstool Mintzy's bad beat and the unbelievable
end to the 2025 Wynn Summer Classic
Championship.


The hosts then take a look at some of the notable players
who fell on Day 1 of the 2025 WSOP Main Event, including
Chris Moneymaker and Faraz
Jaka, before highlighting some recent bracelet winners
in Michael Wang and Aaron
Kupin. Maria Ho then talks about
releasing Pokerriculum, and viewers/listeners
have a chance to win a free copy of the game.


Chad then remembers Eric “Goldy” Goldstein, who
passed away unexpectedly, before Jim Reid shares what Rec
Poker is all about.


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.
