In the 860th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by the free-to-play WSOP App, Chad Holloway, Kyna England, and Mike Holtz are at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas to discuss the sexual harassment allegations against Nick Vertucci, who as a result is no longer associated with Hustler Casino Live (HCL).

They also take a look at a sickening bad beat from the WSOP Online Main Event, one that some are calling the worst of all time, while also getting ready for this weekend's Meet-Up Game (MUG) at Resorts World where we'll award a seat to the Jeremy Renner Celebrity Charity Event. Speaking of, this episode contains the final keyword you'll need to form a KEY PHRASE that when emailed to [email protected] will enter you for a chance to win a $10,000 Gold Pass to the upcoming NAPT Las Vegas.

Speaking of Gold Passes, see a highlight reel of recent winners, plus learn about giveaways conducted by sports titans Nick Wright and Rob Gronkowski. You'll also find out who won the inaugural WCOOP League and learn about winners from both the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Europe and WSOP Circuit Thunder Valley.

Finally, the podcast has a new sponsor in the #1 free-to-play WSOP app, and as part of it, we debut a fun new segment in which we replay big hands from WSOP history, starting with one involving Thrill Team member Samantha Abernathy.
