GGPoker Ambassador Daniel Negreanu Talks 2023 WSOP & Poker Hall of Fame

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 none other than Daniel Negreanu, who took a break from his busy summer schedule to talk about a plethora of topics including what it’s been like running deep in the lower buy-in, big field events, interacting with fans, and how he feels about his performance thus far. The GGPoker Ambassador also offers his thoughts on the Poker Hall of Fame, including who he thinks will get in and the changes he’d like to see moving forward. Finally, “Kid Poker” offers his prediction for the 2023 WSOP Main Event, which is also the first big topic discussed by the hosts. 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: - Jason Mercier wins 6th gold bracelet - Ladies Event sets record - Greg Raymer wins two Las Vegas tournaments - PokerNews Cup huge hit - 2023 WSOP Player of the Year update - Mike Matusow w/ back-to-back final tables - High Stakes Duel 4 – Doug Polk vs. Daniel Negreanu - Phil Hellmuth & Daniel Negreanu 2023 WSOP update Time Stamps *Time | Topic* 00:35 | Welcome to the show 01:26 | WSOP Main Event right around the corner 05:30 | Predictions for the WSOP Main Event 09:00 | Will a female make the WSOP Main Event final table? 09:30 | Sponsor: Global Poker 09:55 | Jason Mercier wins 6th gold bracelet 11:55 | Ladies Event sets record 13:55 | Greg Raymer wins two Las Vegas tournaments 15:55 | PokerNews Cup huge hit 17:55 | 2023 WSOP Player of the Year update 19:55 | Mike Matusow w/ back-to-back final tables 21:55 | High Stakes Duel 4 – Doug Polk vs. Daniel Negreanu 23:55 | Phil Hellmuth & Daniel Negreanu 2023 WSOP update 26:10 | Guest Daniel Negreanu joins the show 26:45 | How is your summer going so far? 27:37 | What’s it like having to interact with all the fans? 28:20 | 10 a.m. restarts not so popular 29:10 | Proposed changes to the Poker Hall of Fame 30:20 | Brian Rast is a “shoo-in” 31:00 | Not Mike Matusow’s year 31:40 | The PHoF backlog 33:32 | Who is Poker Hall of Famer Roger Moore 34:20 | Doyle Brunson’s Celebration of Life 35:25 | Any fun Doyle stories? 36:00 | Negreanu’s prediction for the 2023 WSOP Main Event 37:00 | Any plans to travel post-WSOP?
