Bonomo Threatened w/ Disqualification; Negreanu's Rule Changes


Listen Later

In the 871st episode of the PokerNews Podcast, sponsored by the free-to-play WSOP App, Chad Holloway, Kyna England, and Mike Holtz are all back at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas to talk about the big stories and winners from both the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise and World Poker Tour (WPT) World Championship.

That includes Daniel Negreanu calling for some rule changes, such as no more face coverings nor sunglasses at the poker table, and the controversy in the WSOP Paradise $25,000 Super Main Event when Justin Bonomo was threatened with disqualification if he didn't remove his keffiyeh. Find out what happened and why it's caused an uproar within the poker community.

You'll also hear about Bonomo, Liv Boeree, Michael Addamo, and Mustapha Kanit all making the final table, but losing out to 24-year-old Yinan Zhou, who won the title and $6 million first-place prize. See the final hand and hear from the winner himself. In other WSOP Paradise news, Nick Schulman claimed his sixth gold bracelet, while Johannes Straver and Pablo Silva each won their first.

Speaking of winners, Scott Stewart was victorious in the WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas for $2.5 million, while Chris Moorman finished in fourth place for the second year in a row! Other winners from the festival included Travis Egbert, Adam Hendrix, Ren Lin, and Brad Owen.

Oh, did we mention you can now mark your calendar for the 2025 World Series of Poker, which will take place from May 27 through July 16. Finally, get a sneak preview of the latest Life Outside Poker episode where Connor Richards interviews Jonathan Little, and how you can potentially win a signed copy of one of Little's books.
