On the latest PokerNews Podcast, it is Jesse Fullen's final episode before he departs PokerNews for an exciting opportunity, which he talks about alongside co-host Chad Holloway. The two also discuss Daniel Negreanu playing in a home poker game in Las Vegas after being invited by some high schoolers about to head off to college. Plus, learn about winners from both the 2023 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open (SHRPO) and Triton Poker London stop.

They also welcome guest Tyler Patterson, a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner and World Poker Tour (WPT) champ, who is fresh off winning the RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) Checkpoint Finale for $200K. A consummate grinder, Patterson talks about his victory, what his life is like nowadays, competing for Thunder Valley's all-time money lead, and his upcoming plans, which include a trip overseas.

Finally, before everything was said and done, Jesse shared some of his favorite memories from his time with PokerNews.
