Description
On the latest PokerNews Podcast episode, Chad Holloway and Jesse Fullen continue The Chad & Jesse Poker Show straight from the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP).  They are joined by renowned Japanese vlogger Masato Yokosawa, AKA “World Wide Yokosawa.” While players in the United States might think folks like Brad Owen and Andrew Neeme have the biggest vlog followings in the world, that distinction actually belongs to Masato, who regularly clears 600K views on each of his vlogs! The Japanese vlogging sensation opens up about his start in poker, what inspired him to start a vlog, and how he’s managed to turn it into a smashing success with the help of a creative team. He also talks about his desire to win a WSOP gold bracelet, how Daniel Negreanu and Phil Hellmuth are perceived in his home country, and what the future looks like for poker in Japan. Chad and Jesse then do a new "Calling the Clock" segment in which they offer quick two-minute dialogues for topics on “The Board.” Here's a look at this episode's topics: - Man proposes to woman after winning WSOP bracelet - Man awaiting trial for “intent to commit murder” wins online bracelet - Daniel Negreanu proposes Poker Hall of Fame changes - Billy Baxter finishers runner-up in Seniors Event - Phil Hellmuth makes deep run in $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. - Ryan Eriquezzo multitasks way to 3rd gold bracelet - Shaun Deeb retakes 2023 WSOP POY lead - Mike Matusow nearly captures 5th gold bracelet Time Stamps *Time | Topic* 00:35 | Welcome to the show 01:29 | Thoughts on Ali Imsirovic’s video addressing cheating allegations 03:20 | B******t on paying his dues 06:57 | Call for Ali to be banned from all live events 08:30 | Let someone ask the tough questions 11:00 | Is there any redemption to be had? 12:00 | Is it time for Ali to leave poker behind and move on? 15:45 | Sponsor: Global Poker 16:26 | The $1,100 buy-in, $1,000,000 GTD PokerNews Cup is here! 19:30 | Man proposes to woman after winning WSOP bracelet 21:30 | Man awaiting trial for “intent to commit murder” wins online bracelet 23:30 | Daniel Negreanu proposes Poker Hall of Fame changes 25: 30 | Billy Baxter finishers runner-up in Seniors Event 27:30 | Phil Hellmuth makes deep run in $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. 29:30 | Ryan Eriquezzo multitasks way to 3rd gold bracelet 31:30 | Shaun Deeb retakes 2023 WSOP POY lead 33:30 | Mike Matusow nearly captures 5th gold bracelet 35:45 | Guest Masato Yokosawa joins the show 37:00 | What got you into poker? 38:20 | What got you interested in starting a vlog? 40:35 | One vlog away from No. 200! 41:30 | Do you get stopped by fans? 42:20 | How did you get the “World Wide Yokosawa” nickname? 43:30 | How long have you been coming to the WSOP? 44:35 | Hitting $1 million in lifetime earnings 45:05 | What would it mean for you to win a WSOP gold bracelet? 46:00 | Respect for Daniel Negreanu 50:00 | Playing high-stakes live-streamed games 51:04 | How is Phil Hellmuth perceived in Japan? 52:25 | How did you create such amazing vlogs? 54:19 | What is poker like in Japan?  56:15 | What are your plans for the rest of the WSOP?
