In the 924th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway is once again joined by Mike Holtz and Ben Ludlow at Level 9 Studios to talk the latest stories in the poker world. That includes a double murder that took place at a home game in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and poker pro Steven Jones, who finished runner-up to Daniel Weinman in the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, being a contestant on Squid Game: The Challenge Season 2.
From there, Chad reveals the charity fundraiser record he set with the help of the poker world, Elon Musk weighing in on the AI poker bot battle, and John Riordan winning the $100,000 PLO Super High Roller Bowl. Speaking of winners, Justin Arnwine scored big at RGPS Grand Prix Maryland.
The crew then talks about the upcoming December war between the WSOP Paradise and WPT World Championship, and the new poker documentary No Limit about the former stop.

Miguel Medrano shoved in middle position for 45,000, and Vincent Loria opted to make the call in the big blind.
Miguel Medrano: 
Vincent Loria: 
Loria picked up extra outs but could not improve on the 
runout, leaving Medrano's kings in front for the double-up.

| Vincent Loria | 94,000 |
November 15, 2025 @ 08:18 PM
Peter Evans led out from under the gun on the 
turn, and Alex Bungener made the call on the button.
The dealer flipped over the river, and Evans fired again for 40,000. Bungener took some time before making the call, turning over 
for top pair.
That was enough to claim the pot, as Evans showed 
and watched the pot shipped to his right.
| Alex Bungener | 375,000 | 375,000 |
| Peter Evans | 170,000 | 32,000 |
November 15, 2025 @ 08:01 PM
Richard Meza moved his short stack into the middle, with Andrea Josephson making the call across the table.
Richard Meza: 
Andrea Josephson: 
Meza indicated that he only saw his ace, and Josephson turned over an ace of her own. Meza was trailing through the 
flop, but caught the 
turn to make two pair.
Josephson could not improve on the river, leaving her with just 5,000 behind. That was gone shortly after, as Josephson hit the rail.
| Richard Meza | 52,000 | 52,000 |
| Andrea Josephson | 0 | 0 |
November 15, 2025 @ 07:52 PM
With 60,000 already in the middle on the 
turn, Phillip Hoff checked in middle position. Joseph Sheehan's bet of 20,000 was called, and the river was revealed.
Hoff announced all in, and Sheehan did not take long to let his hand go.
| Phillip Hoff | 210,000 | 210,000 |
| Joseph Sheehan | 184,000 | 184,000 |
November 15, 2025 @ 07:38 PM
Miguel Medrano raised to 15,000 in middle position, and Lauris Murnieks defended his big blind to see the 
flop.
Murnieks checked, and Medrano continued for 12,000. That produced a quick fold from Murnieks, and Medrano took down the pot.
| Miguel Medrano | 94,000 | 94,000 |
| Lauris Murnieks | 34,000 | 34,000 |
November 15, 2025 @ 07:25 PM
Matthew Roethgen moved all in from the hijack for 24,000, and Michael Bourette took some time in the small blind before making the call.
Matthew Roethgen: 
Michael Bourette: 
Roethgen was surprised to see Bourette's holding, and showed his frustration when the 
flop put him behind. Bourette improved to two pair on the turn, and confirmed the elimination on the 
river.
| Michael Bourette | 210,000 | 14,000 |
| Matthew Roethgen | 0 | -67,000 |
November 15, 2025 @ 07:05 PM
Brandi Uschin moved her short stack into the middle, at risk after Tommy Genova made the call.
Brandi Uschin: 
Tommy Genova: 
"I apologize in advance," Genova told Uschin before seeing the 
flop to take the lead. Uschin could not catch up on the turn or 
river, ending her run as Genova raked in the pot.
| Tommy Genova | 170,000 | 152,000 |
| Brandi Uschin | 0 | -47,000 |
November 15, 2025 @ 06:54 PM
Michael Bourette opened to 4,000 from middle position and called after Peter Uschin moved all in for 24,000 from the hijack.
Peter Uschin: 
Michael Bourette:
Uschin saw his pocket aces hold through the runout, earning the double through Bourette.
| Michael Bourette | 196,000 | |
| Peter Uschin | 58,000 | 34,000 |
