In the ninth episode of the monthly BetRivers Table Talk Podcast Presented By PokerNews, hosts Chad Holloway and Keith Becker welcome Shaun Deeb to the show to talk about his recent adventures traveling with Phil Hellmuth, which included a best-of-three heads-up match on BetRivers Poker.
Deeb shares how he first became friends with the Poker Brat, competing on Season 1 of Hellmuth’s Home Game, and why he thinks he will ultimately pass Hellmuth for the most World Series of Poker (WSOP) gold bracelets. Speaking of the WSOP, Deeb shares his thoughts on recent decisions regarding the WSOP Player of the Year Race, and then gets candid about being snubbed for the Poker Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.
Additionally, Chad & Keith recap the recently completed BetRivers Poker Championship (BPC), which saw Dan “DrDadPoker” Schill continue his 2026 heater by laying claim to three titles, one of which he did on his phone while sitting at a campfire!
Learn more about all of those stories and more in the latest episode of the BetRivers Table Talk Podcast Presented By PokerNews.
BetRivers Table Talk Podcast Presented By PokerNews will release a new episode every month. You’ll be able to watch the show on the PokerNews YouTube channel and listen to an audio version on all major podcasting platforms.
