Negreanu, Hellmuth & Kabrhel on Wildest Day of 2026 WSOP

Negreanu, Hellmuth & Kabrhel on Wildest Day of 2026 WSOP

Author: PokerNews Podcast July 4, 2026 Duration: 26:48

In the 983rd episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by FanDuel Poker, Chad Holloway and Mike Holtz are at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas to discuss one of the wilder days in World Series of Poker (WSOP) history!

Not only did the 2026 WSOP $10,000 Main Event officially kick off, complete with Phil Hellmuth's patented circus-like entrance, but both Daniel Negreanu and Martin Kabrhel snagged gold bracelets. That allowed the former to crack the top ten in the 2026 WSOP Player of the Year race, while the latter drew the ire of some fans when he refused to shake the hand of his opponent.

Chad and Mike get into it all, while also thanking sponsor Think Jerky, which you can order here, and shouting out Overlord Caps, of which they're both big fans.
