Ryan Feldman, co-owner of Hustler Casino Live, revealed on PokerNews' Life Outside Poker podcast that he was kicked out of the 2016 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event over a conflict of interest stemming from his employment at ESPN.
In the 16th episode of the podcast, host Connor Richards speaks with the producer/founder of the most popular livestream in poker history about why he was booted from poker's biggest tournament, along with numerous other topics such as sports journalism, interviewing star athletes, leaving ESPN to start a poker stream, founding HCL and putting together some of the most entertaining lineups in poker history.
This interview was filmed in July at the 2024 WSOP inside Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
The Life Outside Poker podcast is available on major streaming platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and iHeartRadio. You can also watch the interview with Ryan Feldman by heading to the PokerNews YouTube channel.

With two players seeing a board of 4?4?2? and 7,200 in the middle, Artyom Smbatyan checked from the small blind and Slade Fisher bet 3,500 from the big blind. Smbatyan check-raised to 8,000 and Fisher called.
Smbatyan continued with a bet of 4,500 on the 6? turn and Fisher moved all in for around 30,000. Smbatyan snap-called with a covering stack to put Fisher at risk.
Slade Fisher: Q?5? 
Artyom Smbatyan: 6?4?
Fisher had turned a combo draw but was drawing dead against Smbatyan who had turned a full house. The 3? river changed nothing and Smbatyan took down a sizable early pot while Fisher made his exit from the tournament area.
