Top Stories of 2024 – GG Buys WSOP; Ivey & Negreanu Win Bracelets | PokerNews Podcast #872
In the 872nd episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which kicks off the New Year and Season 16, Chad Holloway, Kyna England and Mike Holtz are all at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas to recap some of the biggest stories from the poker world in 2024.
That includes GGPoker purchasing the World Series of Poker (WSOP), both Daniel Negreanu and Phil Ivey capturing WSOP gold bracelets, poker bots, and Kristen Foxen's remarkable year, which included a deep run in the WSOP Main Event and being inducted into the Women in Poker Hall of Fame. Other stories they touch upon include Nick Vertucci's departure from Hustler Casino Live (HCL), the summer of Scott Seiver, and Triton Poker hitting it out of the park.
Chad then shares a special one-on-one interview he did with 1983 WSOP Main Event champ and Poker Hall of Famer Tom McEvoy to talk about his autobiography Poker Pioneer. McEvoy talks about the biggest moments of his storied career, shows off his extensive poker collection, and shares stories of some of the biggest names in poker including Doyle Brunson, Stu Ungar, and Phil Ivey, just to name a few. When it comes to poker history, few have as much experience as McEvoy, and this is your chance to hear from someone who actually lived it.
