The WSOP is underway, but based on the headlines, maybe it should be called the World Series of Babies. This week on the Ante Up Poker Podcast, Joe and Elle dive into the latest WSOP stories, including Daniel Negreanu and Adam Hendrix both preparing for fatherhood, the first bracelet winner of the summer, and what the massive Caesars/Fertitta deal could mean for poker players going forward.
In Call the Floor, Elliott Schecter weighs in on a controversial tournament ruling. Can a dealer declare your hand dead if you’re not paying attention? And if your cards haven’t actually reached the muck yet, do you still have a claim to them? It’s a situation that sparked plenty of debate at the table.
For this week’s Hand of the Week, we’re doing something a little different. Andrew sends in a wild No-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo hand from a regular home game, but the real twist is that this very same hand was originally broken down by Scott and Chris back in 2012. We found the original episode and weaved clips into the discussion. It’s a fun look back at the show’s history while tackling a fascinating hand.
And in Joe’s One Outer, I talk about adaptability. Why some players never change gears at the table and how many of us make the same mistake in life. The challenges change, the situations change, and sometimes success comes from from finding the right gear.
