On the first episode of the New Year for the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Connor Richards, and Matt Hansen discuss poker bots on ACR, the risk of playing on unregulated sites, and offer an update on the Michigan poker player who was found zip-tied on the side of the road after allegedly being kidnapped.

They then dive into Daniel Negreanu's poker tournament losses from 2023, his early win in 2024, and what's happening down at PokerGO Studio. There, Richards caught up with this week's guest, Clemen Deng, who has been a rising star in the high-roller streets.

Finally, they wrap up by paying respect to Kara Scott, who parted ways with 888poker after eight years as an ambassador, reveal results for various Player of the Year (POY) races, and debate whether or not Jon Letzkus, the suspect in Las Vegas Strip area shooting, should be labeled as a poker player.

Before the trio part ways, Kara gives her best ‘deer in the headlights’ impression as she rehearses fake-freezing up on camera!
