## Resource

In the 969th episode of the PokerNews Podcast , which is sponsored by FanDuel Poker , Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Ben Ludlow are at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas for the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) . To kick things off, they talk about a big hand played by Phil Ivey , one that left the usually stone-faced poker pro in shock. See the hand and learn what happened! From there, it's a discussion on why Jeremy Ausmus may have been denied a vlogger pass , big names falling just short of gold bracelets, and Alan Keating no-showing the $25,000 Heads-Up Championship. Speaking of that tournament, Daniel Negreanu was cruising right along until he suffered a series of unfortunate events, including a river bad beat that you can see in this episode. Some other things you can see are the $1,000,000 bounty pull from the $550 Mini Mystery Millions tournament and highlights from the Charity Series of Poker (CSOP) Event #100 with Matt Stout . Finally, the PokerNews Podcast has a new sponsor in Think Jerky , and as fate would have it, there's a poker connection between Chad and the brand's Pat's Cheesesteak stick that dates back more than a decade to a poker game in Philadelphia. Learn all about that, and while you're at it, be sure to check out Think Jerky ! A new PokerNews Podcast drops three times a week during the 2026 WSOP!
