As it happens, Chad knows the original owner of the bracelet, so he reached out and got the full scoop. It's an intriguing story you don't want to miss.

Plus, Chad talks to Nick Schulman, who was this year's inductee into the Poker Hall of Fame, and the crew discusses the 2025 WSOP Main Event bubble along with Josh Reichard's impressive call on it. Other stories include why a player went off-the-rails tilt crazy, the return of the WSOP Paradise from Dec. 4-18, and a huge $330K pot from the recent Venetian Poker Live $100/$200 NLH cash game.

Finally, Chad did a joint interview from the floor of the WSOP with the WSOP Free-to-Play App Marketing Director Nimrod Avron & Ambassador Samantha Abernathy, the latter of whom recently had her avatar debut on the app! Get a look at what it looks like, along with all the latest from the WSOP Free-to-Play app!
