{img_alt}

We are now 517 episodes into the PokerNews Podcast. It��s Sarah Herring and [Removed:139] taking a look at what��s going on in the poker world. And there��s plenty to keep them busy.

The Main Event at the partypoker LIVE MILLIONS UK stop in Nottingham came to a close. Ioannis Angelou-Konstas is the champion after beating Alex Foxen heads-up to cap off a star-studded final tale. Plus, Steve O��Dwyer won two high-roller tournaments in one week at the festival.

The World Series of Poker Europe is now underway at King��s Casino, Sarah and Jeff look into the value (or lack thereof) in this tournament series. One of our favorite dealers from the WSOP, Heather Alcorn, wins a WSOP-Circuit Main Event! Jeff recaps the action-packed week of Friday Night Poker, which included Antonio Esfandiari walking away with a $35,000 profit at a $5-$10 game.

Then, we bring on Jeff��s Friday Night Poker co-host, Amanda Leatherman! Amanda takes us through her broadcasting career and discusses what it��s like being back in the poker world.
