In the 873rd episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is the second episode of Season 16, Chad Holloway, Kyna England and Mike Holtz talk about the surprise PokerStars shoutout by actress Elle Fanning on the red carpet of the Golden Globes, where she also revealed that one of the hottest actors in Hollywood is a good poker player.

Kyna then shares her story about recently meeting a celebrity of her own in rapper Nelly and Mike offers up a Jose Canseco tale, plus an opportunity to win your way to Las Vegas as part of the "Vegas Vacation Sweepstakes" being held by the WSOP Free-to-Play App.

You'll also hear about various Player of the Year race results including GPI POY trophies for David Coleman, Cherish Andrews, and Han Feng. Likewise, Yunkyu Song claimed the WPT Season 22 POY while Umut Ozturk won the MSPT POY in back-to-back years. Oh, and did we mention Nick Schulman won another poker tournament, this time at the PokerGo Tour (PGT) Last Chance Series, as did Shannon Shorr and Brandon Wilson.

Two other stories they touch upon are Liv Boeree donating $560K from her record score at the WSOP Paradise to fight against pig factory farming and a look at wild back-to-back hands played by Peter on Hustler Casino Live (HCL).

Finally, get a sneak peek at a new, high-end luxury coffee-table book that will blow your socks off — The Las Vegas Book by Joris Dekker.

FPN's Oldest Member Brings the Wow Factor to Las Vegas

Niveau 10 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

In the front corner of the Nugget ballroom sits a 91-year-old man with an envelope stuffed with painted rocks and a handful of business cards. He's a regular on the FPN Circuit and when he isn't playing he's looking to improve the days of those around them.

Minnesota's Robert "Bob" Schreiner is known for gifting his custom-painted "Wow Girl" rocks to women dealers and players, believing that every woman deserves that kind of small yet meaningful recognition.

The Marine veteran shows his support in other ways. During Wednesday's $200 WPT Passport event, "Str8 Flush Bob" wore an "I <3 Dana Castaneda" apron, paying tribute to the league's executive poker director running the show here at the Nugget.

Though Schreiner shies away from publicity, he has nearly a century of stories to tell.

"Isn't that something?" Schreiner said proudly as he showed PokerNews a photo from the 1970s with 38th Vice President Hubert Humprey. He repeats this phrase as he scrolls through photos of eight of his 11 grandkids and playing a Tag Team event with his son, Steve Schreiner, in custom t-shirts he made for the event.

If you're playing in a Las Vegas daily or bar league event and spot a woman using a rock with a red heart on it as a card protector, be sure to think of Bob Schreiner.
