It's Episode 496 of the PokerNews Podcast coming to you from the World Series of Poker at the Rio All-Suites Hotel & Casino! PokerNews Head of Content Frank Op de Woerd joins Sarah Herring and [Removed:139] to break down the hottest stories from the first week of the WSOP.

The crew has all eyes on Phil Ivey this summer, and they also go over the WSOP Player of the Year Race. Plus, how in the world did Kane Kalas knock off the legend that is John Smith in the $10k Heads-Up Championship event?

Jeff wandered the hallways of the Rio throughout the last week, and he grabbed interviews with bracelet winners Johannes Becker and Jordan Hufty, who both have great stories to tell. Jeff also spoke with Anthony Zinno about just how much fun he was having in his Heads-Up Championship Round One match versus Kristen Bicknell.
