In a special 974th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by FanDuel Poker, Mike Holtz and Ben Ludlow come to you from the floor of the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) and are joined by special guest and 2006 WSOP Player of the Year Jeff Madsen.
With co-host Chad Holloway away for the week, the three discuss Holtz winning his second bracelet in Event #31: $1,500 Super Turbo Bounty No-Limit Hold'em. The two-time WSOP.com POY topped a field of 2,103 entries and defeated heads-up opponent Mei Seow to win a career-best $238,097 and his first live bracelet.
Holtz, who had a rowdy rail that included Ludlow and Madsen, also delivered one of the most epic bracelet win celebrations in recent memory.
Watch Holtz, Ludlow and Madsen as they discuss Holtz's final table run, Maurice Hawkins running deep on the same day, whether Holtz' rowdy rail helped him win the bracelet, Ludlow being on the rail for both Holtz' and Madsen's bracelet victories, Holtz' plans for his bracelet ceremony, and final table strategy in super turbo events.

In the 973rd episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by FanDuel Poker, Chad Holloway is at the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP), where he sits down with high-stakes poker superstar Alan Keating.
Arguably one of the most popular poker players in this day and age, Keating talks about why he conceded the first round of the $25K Heads-Up Championship, whether or not he'll be playing some tournaments, and how he feels about High Stakes Live coming to the WSOP. That includes the upcoming Million Dollar Cash Game, which Keating admits he's happy to be a part of, and even hints that Phil Hellmuth might play. But then again, maybe not.
Keating then shares which reality TV show he applied for, hosting epic Ultimate Werewolf parties, and his thoughts on the Poker Hall of Fame now that he's turned 40 and is officially eligible.

In the 972nd episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by FanDuel Poker, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Ben Ludlow come to you from the floor of the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) where they are joined by special cohost Bobby James.
You might recall that James was on the winning end of the four-card flop hand involving Ricky Landais. James talks about the hand from his perspective, plus what it was like notching a six-figure score while playing from an airplane, commentating while Ren Lin was originally banned from a WSOP event, and more.
As for the episode's main story, that would be Kristen Foxen, who took down her first WSOP $25K High Roller for a career score and her sixth WSOP gold bracelet. She's already the WSOP's most-decorated female player, but could she be poker's G.O.A.T.? It's quite possible. Learn more about Foxen's impressive win and see one of the hands that helped get her there.
We also have the 2026 WSOP's first two-time bracelet winner, a POY race that's heating up, and our boy, Jeff Madsen, got it done by spinning a short stack into WSOP gold! Finally, don't miss your chance to win another autographed copy of the poker classic Positively Fifth Street by Jim McManus.
