The second season of CodigoPLAY continues to take flight and its third episode made it clear that the show knows no brakes. With an agile pace, plenty of commentary, and that mix of information and good vibes that is starting to become a trademark, the chapter was a true journey through different worlds, all connected by the passion for telling stories.
The start was high-energy, reminding viewers that there were free tournaments at the end of the show, a classic nod to the community that always expects something more than just analysis. From there, the journey continued toward one of the week’s big topics: the long-awaited return of the Mendoza High Roller Championship which will take place from April 9 to 12 at the Casino Cóndor of the Hotel Hilton Mendoza. An event that generates expectation and promises to bring together several strong names in a stop that has already earned its place on the regional calendar.
Then came one of the episode’s bombshells: the return of the World Series of Poker to ESPN, news that shook the poker world after several years off that screen. The talk didn’t stop at the announcement, as there was also room to recall anecdotes from covering the WSOP, adding that personal touch that turns news into a shared experience.
But CodigoPLAY didn’t stay at the tables. There was also room for the week’s football shock with Italy’s elimination from the World Cup, also reviewing the story of Sergej Barbarez, now the coach of Bosnia, who celebrated in his own way and returned to the scene with that very particular past linked to poker, including his memorable deep run in the 2017 WSOP. From there, the program opened up to the broader landscape of the qualifiers and the latest news heading toward the 2026 World Cup.

Afterward, the gear shift was total: Formula 1 news, a review of the current state of Counter-Strike and its upcoming competitions, and a new stop in the brand-new economy section, where the focus was on the historical instability of bitcoin and the reasons behind its sharp drops in value.
The closing? Live music, relaxed conversation, and chocolate eggs. Because yes, in CodigoPLAY, even the chaos is well-shuffled.
A complete, varied episode with more ingredients than an all-in with nine players left to act.
