In the 884th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Connor Richards discuss former poker player Salman Behbehani getting a six-year prison sentence for smuggling a shit ton of drugs into Ibiza.

Connor and Mike then try to get on the same page in a new word association game we're dubbing 'Collusion Mind Meld' before Chad goes one-on-one with the legendary Phil Galfond to talk about his upcoming 2025 World Series Summit, the Poker Hall of Fame, and more.

The crew then shares an update on Peter Eastgate's gold bracelet from the 2008 WSOP Main Event, which he sold long ago for $150,000; give you an opportunity to win a Phil Hellmuth Poker Gift Box; and celebrates Caitlin Comeskey's big SCOOP title victory! You'll also hear about other recent tournament winners, including Shawn Daniels, Yuval Bronshtein, and Angela Jordison, as well as a 15-way chop in a $300 tournament down in Jacksonville.

Finally, you can check out the latest installment of "New Vlogs on the Block" featuring Miles Barnum, who is seeking to bring poker to the people starting in small town Montana.
