About this episode
Chad Holloway interviews Paul Wasicka, Sabyl Cohen Landrum, and Jon Friedberg about their experiences and lives since the 2006 WSOP.
In the 989th episode of the PokerNews Podcast , which is sponsored by FanDuel Poker, Chad Holloway honors the 20th anniversary of the 2006 World Series of Poker (WSOP) by chatting with a trio of players who made a name for themselves that year. That includes Paul Wasicka , who finished runner-up to Jamie Gold in the 2006 WSOP Main Event and, a year later, went on to win the NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship . What has the former young gun, who doesn't play much serious poker anymore, been up to over the past two decades? Find out here. Likewise, Sabyl Cohen Landrum finished 56th in the 2006 WSOP Main Event, making her the last woman standing by outlasting Annie Duke. ESPN captured it and vaulted her to temporary "Poker Boom" fame, but what is life like for her now? Finally, Chad caught up with Jon Friedberg , who topped a then-record 2,891-player field to win a $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em event for $526K and a gold bracelet. Friedberg has gone on to become a major player on the poker operator side of things with Poker Atlas, and part of that success stems from his big bracelet win.
