In the 849th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by 888poker, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Kyna England are at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas to talk about the "LaptopGate" controversy that came out of Jonathan Tamayo's big win in the 2024 WSOP Main Event for $10,000,000. How did solvers impact things? Does it constitute cheating? What comes next? Not only do the crew talk about it, but they also share clips from two interviews Doug Polk conducted, the first with runner-up Jordan Griff and the other with two prominent poker personalities Daniel Negreanu and Alan Keating. For those wondering what Tamayo had to say about the situation, check out this PokerNews article here. Plus, hear who won the summer crossbook bet between Jeremy Becker and Landon Tice, High Stakes Poker returning to PokerGO next week, and how WSOP Paradise champ Stanislav Zegal failed to sell his championship bracelet in an attempt to raise money for charity, which in turn led to a talk about the value of a bracelet nowadays. Finally, get a sneak preview of Connor Richards' interview with 888poker Ambassador Ian Simpson on his Life Outside Poker Podcast. A new PokerNews Podcast will drop weekly every Friday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time. Remember to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you do not miss an episode!
