Florida Man Busted for Laundering $800K from Illegal Poker Games

In the 886th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Kyna England discuss the Florida man who was arrested for allegedly laundering $800K from illegal poker games. That led to a larger discussion on policy over such games and whether law enforcement is doing justice by cracking down.

They then share results from Doug Polk's $100K 'Code Doug' Challenge, including a big hand he played against Eric Persson; highlight recent tournament winners such as Shannon Shorr, Francis Anderson, and Missy Bartleme; Jesse Lonis crushing the recently-completed PGT PLO Series; and highlights from Chad's trip to the Eastern Poker Open near Boston.

Plus, get a preview of Alexandra Botez on the Life Outside Poker podcast, Kyna's thoughts on a poker player being on Netflix’s Million Dollar Secret, and remembering Keith Hall & Stan Shrier, who both passed away within the past week.

Finally, they ask the question: Are you excited for the WSOP?
