In the 821st episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz & Kyna England come to you from Level 9 Studios in Las Vegas to discuss the latest poker news, stories, and gossip. That includes the recent drama surrounding Tom "durrrr" Dwan, who recently talked to PokerNews in a 45-minute in-depth conversation about debt allegations recently leveled against him by Peter Jetten and Haralabos Voulgaris.
You can read everything Dwan had to say in our feature article here but suffice it to say he didn't give clear answers. Some say he spouted a word salad to most of the questions, and our crew took a look at some clips and offered their thoughts. We also asked Dwan point blank if he's ever been kidnapped by the Triads, an urban legend of sorts in the poker world.
Mike and Kyna then talked about their respective tournament successes since the last show, which led to a larger talk about women in poker and how the industry sometimes struggles to market to such a large segment of the population. From there, it was on to a discussion about the recent uptick of poker-related names venturing into the reality TV space including Boston Rob Mariano, Brantzen Poker, and Athena Jett.
Finally, the crew touched on Kevin Martin's 24/7 stream while attempting to win $5,000 playing online and close it out by offering their thoughts on the often-critical Allen Kessler.

With two players seeing a board of 10♠A♥2♣K♣, Aleksandar Tot moved all in from early position, covering Ege Guven in the cutoff who had roughly 70,000. Guven thought for a moment before making the call to put himself at risk.
Ege Guven: A♠J♥
Aleksandar Tot: 2♠2♦
Guven had flopped top pair and a gutshot straight draw but was in dire straits against Tot's bottom set. Guven could not catch a queen on the 3♣ river and was eliminated while Tot collected the last of his chips.
