In the 880th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Kyna England, and Mike Holtz talk about the guy who flipped over three poker tables at the WSOP Circuit Harrah's Cherokee Main Event. See the video and find out what tournament staff did to rectify the situation.

The crew then discusses Ebony Kenney getting slammed by poker fans over a recently resurfaced picture of her playing online with GTO Wizard open, and ACR's response to the most recent RTA controversy. Other topics include a potential angle shoot on The Lodge Live Stream, Ali Imsirovic being DQ'ed from a Texas tournament and then being banned from the cardroom, and big winners from the 6th Annual Global Poker Awards that took place this past Saturday at PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas.
