Is Martin Kabrhel Unstoppable After WSOP Win? | PokerNews Podcast #905
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. Remember to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you do not miss an episode!
