In a special 974th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by FanDuel Poker, Mike Holtz and Ben Ludlow come to you from the floor of the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) and are joined by a special guest in 2006 WSOP Player of the Year Jeff Madsen.
With co-host Chad Holloway away for the week, the three discuss Holtz winning his second bracelet in Event #31: $1,500 Super Turbo Bounty No-Limit Hold’em. The two-time WSOP.com POY topped a field of 2,103 entries and defeated heads-up opponent Mei Seow to win a career-best $238,097 and his first live bracelet.
Holtz, who had a rowdy rail that included Ludlow and Madsen, also delivered one of the most epic bracelet win celebrations in recent memory.

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) remains the ultimate poker festival. But with 100 events on the WSOP schedule, it’s incredibly easy to lose track of shifting chip counts, sudden eliminations, and deep runs when trying to wade through standard tournament updates.
This summer, that hassle is a thing of the past. With the launch of the new PokerNews MyPlayers feed, you can completely customize your WSOP experience, curating a personalized, real-time timeline dedicated entirely to the specific players you want to sweat.
Women are entering the 2026 series in blistering, historic form. More and more players are sporting massive high-roller cashes from early-year stops like Triton Jeju and titles on the PokerGO Tour.
Event #44: $10,000 Super Turbo Bounty No-Limit Hold’em is one of the more action-packed events on the schedule. The field will be stacked with household names, and with $3,000 for each elimination and a fast structure, chips will be flying in this high-octane format of poker.
