Wire Act Dead in Poker; Darren Elias Talks BetMGM Poker Online Championships

In the latest edition of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway and Jesse Fullen chat about their experience playing the Charity Series of Poker (CSOP) Curl Vegas -- one of them won it -- as well as updates concerning Twitch banning unlicensed gambling sites and a definitive ruling on the Wire Act and whether or not it applies to online poker. They also highlight a hand from The Lodge Stream where a player mucked the nuts on the river, celebrate what would have been Mike Sexton's 75th birthday, and remember Jan Suchanek and Ivan Leow, who both passed away unexpectedly. Chad then sits down with BetMGM Poker Ambassador Darren Elias, the "End Boss" and World Poker Tour (WPT) G.O.A.T., to discuss the BetMGM Poker Online Championships taking place in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.
