In the 858th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, sponsored by WPT Global, Chad Holloway and Mike Holtz are joined by World Poker Tour (WPT) President Adam Pliska at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas to talk about the WPT World Championship, which isn't featuring a guarantee this year but instead is offering players the opportunity at a $5,000,000 Freeroll, the largest freeroll in poker history! Pliska shares how players can enter for a chance at one of 2,000 seats, plus elaborates on whether or not we might see another WPT Voyage.
Speaking of the WPT, they just wrapped up a stop in Australia that poker pro James Obst won, and you can't talk about the "Land Down Under" without mentioning the WPT's Lynn Gilmartin. Plus, hear about highlights from the WPT Foundation Russell Westbrook's 4th Annual Poker Night, remember Mike Sexton on what would have been his 77th birthday, and a preview of upcoming WPT stops (Chad will be at the Playground Poker Club in Montreal at the end of October).
Mike and Chad then recap Jim Collopy capturing the Poker Masters Purple Jacket, Ben Tollerene claiming the final title of that series, and offer a look at some recent NAPT Gold Pass winners. Speaking of Gold Passes, learn how you can win one via either the PokerNews Podcast & Life Outside Poker Podcast giveaway, PokerGO drawing a random annual subscriber, or the Path to the NAPT for online players.
Finally, Chad and Mike, a two-time online player of the year, talk about the bombshell article on Bloomberg exposing a Russian poker bot farm and the ramifications it could have on the industry. Learn about those stories and more in the latest episode of the PokerNews Podcast.
