Poker Player Hog-Tied and Robbed of $45K During WSOP | PokerNews Podcast #995
In the 995th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by FanDuel Poker, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Ben Ludlow welcome Darren Rabinowitz to Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas. Rabinowitz was fresh off winning his second gold bracelet by defeating Phil Hellmuth in heads-up play.
The big story this week is that of Jared Griener, who was allegedly robbed by two masked men of $45,000 after cashing out from the WSOP. It's a wild tale that involved being hog-tied at his rental property, escaping to a neighbor's property, and two suspects captured on surveillance video.
The quartet then wraps up the last bracelet winners from the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP), including Alexander Kostritsyn and David Peters, takes a look at the Main Event final table, and the current 2026 WSOP Player of the Year standings.
Finally, hear from Daniel Negreanu and Josh Arieh, who took down the 25K Fantasy League as a part of Team DNegs.
