WSOP Main Even Final Table Preview; Antonius in Hall of Fame; Foxen Falls Short

PokerNews Podcast

In the 847th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Connor Richards come to you from Level 9 Studio to preview the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event final table. Who is at the final table of nine? How did they get there? And who do they think will win? Find out here.

Plus, hear how Kristen Foxen fell just short of becoming only the second woman in WSOP history to make the Main Event final table, including her much-discussed final hand. Speaking of big hands, Adrian Mateos suffered back-to-back big hands before bowing out on Day 5. Sometimes poker can be cruel, and his fate is evidence of that.

On a positive note, Patrik Antonius became the 2024 inductee into the Poker Hall of Fame. The online and cash game legend became just the fifth European to be inducted, and he was on-site at the WSOP to accept the honor. See pictures and a video of the Finnish pro accepting his Poker Hall of Fame trophy.

Finally, hear about recent WSOP gold bracelet winners including Jared Bleznick, Gary Bolden, Joseph Sanders, and Calvin Anderson; Jeremy Ausmus tying Phil Hellmuth's WSOP final table record; and other winners from Venetian and Wynn. Oh, and learn about recent WSOP Online bracelet winners such as Mike Watson, David Prociak, and Mo Nuwwarah.

A new PokerNews Podcast will drop twice weekly during the 2024 WSOP every Tuesday and Friday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time. Remember to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you do not miss an episode!
