In the 963rd episode of the PokerNews Podcast_, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Ben Ludlow are back to talk about the recent concerns and unanswered questions surrounding CoinPoker. The offshore site has come under fire for deceptive and unclear marketing, as well as concerns over player funds. Poker pro Manig Loeser recently spoke out about them, and there's been mounting pressure on social media from the likes of Pokerbots1 and Todd Witteles accounts.

The crew also takes a look at the set-over-set cooler that benefited Alan Keating in a $1.2M pot, poker thriving in Texas with the WSOP Circuit at TCH, and the High Roller for One Drop at the EPT Monte Carlo. Speaking of big tournament series, PokerNews is on-site in the southern hemisphere at the recently relaunched Aussie Millions. Chad turned to his colleagues in the land down under for an update on all things Aussie Millions.

Finally, mark your calendar for the upcoming Mixed Game Festival XIV, which will kick off at the end of the month and continue into the summer.
