Security Swarms as Player Goes Wild Inside Las Vegas Poker Room | PokerNews Podcast #887
In the 887th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Kyna England discuss the fight that recently broke out inside the Aria Poker Room in Las Vegas. What could've caused "Tony" to fly off the handle like he did?
The crew then debates all the discussion surrounding the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Industry Employee Event, recognizes the 14th anniversary of poker's infamous Black Friday, and Chad answers the question of whatever happened to two-time WPT and WSOP champ Hoyt Corkins (AKA the Alabama Cowboy)?
Plus, Allen Kessler plays the piano, Chad shares highlights from his recent trip to the MSPT Running Aces, and the crew recap recent wins by Shannon Shorr, Matthew Wantman & Brandon Wilson at the U.S. Poker Open, as well as by Daniel Lowery in the Main Event of the RGPS Joplin.
