    In the 866th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by the free-to-play WSOP App, Chad Holloway and Mike Holtz are joined by 2006 WSOP Player of the Year Jeff Madsen at Level 9 Studio. Fresh off a third-place finish in the 2024 NAPT, Madsen fills in for Kyna England who is actually in England.

    Like the rest of the poker world, the trio is mesmerized by poker wizard 'Gambledore,' who is actually Estonia's Vladimir Korzinin. The 69-year-old bearded amateur took the recent Triton Poker stop by storm and within a month has vaulted to the top of the Estonia all-time money list while etching his name in poker lore. This is his tale.

    They then update you on the winner of High Stakes Duel 5 Round 2 between Jared Bleznik and Patrik Antonius, and Chad goes behind the scenes of the Global Poker Table Talk event during Formula 1 featuring Antonio Esfandiari, Michael Phelps, Carlos Sainz, and Charles Leclerc.

    Speaking of the WPT, Nick Yunis was victorious in the WPT bestbet Scramble for $310K while Eric Afriat came up just two spots short of winning a record-tying fourth title. Finally, hear about Preston McEwen continuing his winning ways with a victory in the RGPS Tunica for $57,206 & sixth ring
