On the latest PokerNews Podcast episode, Chad Holloway and Jesse Fullen continue The Chad & Jesse Poker Show straight from the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP).
This week, they are joined by Poker Hall of Famer Jack McClelland, who served as the Tournament Director of the WSOP from 1984-98. He was inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame in 2014 alongside Daniel Negreanu, and he talks about that honor as well as memories of Stu Ungar and Doyle Brunson, and what it was like to work for the legendary Benny Binion.
Chad and Jesse then do a new “Calling the Clock” segment in which they offer quick two-minute dialogues for topics on “The Board.”
Here’s a look at this episode’s topics:
- Man wins WSOP bracelet after no poker for 9 years because ex-girlfriend didn’t like it
- 2023 WSOP POY Update
- MI/PA Bracelets
- Poker Hall of Fame picks
- PokerNews Cup returns
- 2023 BetMGM Poker Championship
- Isaac Haxton wins first bracelet
- Infamous “Nut Tap” on the rail
