FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Bad Beat Enterprises Acquires TexasHoldemRadio.com — Poker Talk’s New Era Begins with Hal Coblentz, July 25, 2025
Las Vegas, NV – July 25, 2025 — Bad Beat Enterprises, LLC is proud to announce the acquisition of TexasHoldemRadio.com, the original streaming voice of the poker community, effective July 25, 2025. Founded in the early 2000s by poker media personality Wade Andrews, TexasHoldemRadio.com quickly became a pioneer in online poker broadcasting — combining poker strategy, player interviews, tournament coverage, and entertainment during the height of the poker boom.
Under the leadership of Hal Coblentz, owner of Bad Beat Enterprises, former Vice President and “The Voice” of The Senior Poker Tour, as well as a longtime co-host and contributor to TexasHoldemRadio,com, the platform is poised for a bold new future. Coblentz brings a business and marketing-savvy background and poker broadcasting experience, with plans to revitalize and expand TexasHoldemRadio.com’s presence across the poker community.
“Wade Andrews created something truly ahead of its time — a space for poker fans to connect, learn, and be entertained around the clock,” said Hal Coblentz. “Now, we’re turning the volume up. This next chapter will preserve that legacy while delivering a fresh wave of content: more interviews, more strategy, real-time tournament coverage, and for the first time — dynamic live streams that bring the action straight to your device.”
The Road Ahead:
Fans and listeners can look forward to:
- A new programming slate featuring top poker personalities
- Live coverage and commentary from major tournaments nationwide
- Exclusive interviews with poker pros, legends, and rising stars
- Interactive strategy segments and hand breakdowns
- Simulcast audio and video live streams across multiple platforms
- Expanded partnerships with poker tours and sponsors
The acquisition by Bad Beat Enterprises signals a commitment to making TexasHoldemRadio.com the premier destination for poker talk, education, and entertainment.
Coblentz and Andrews recently reunited on-air for a special broadcast of the "Wade and Hal Talk Poker Show", live on July 25th, to commemorate the handover and outline what’s to come.
