The Big Game on Tour’s first Loose Cannon for Season 3, Andy Taylor, had a rough ride through a table of heavy hitters including Shaun Deeb, Jason Koon, and Matt Berkey.

Ivan at pokerfuse reports that Andy did well to not lose more than he did, especially after a tough spot against Koon knocked him back to his starting $50k.

With the rules stating he could only keep profits over his buy-in, Andy found himself with just over $48,000 going into the final hand.

As Ivan writes, 'he reached the very final hand of the session, sitting with just over $48,000 in front of him.’ Despite some last minute action set up by blind raises and aggressive pots, Andy ended up almost exactly where he started.

GGPoker has quietly launched Escrow Trade, a new feature that lets players buy and sell tournament tickets, Cash Dollars, and other in-game currencies directly on the platform.

According to Anuj’s report on PRO, this move aims to reduce the risks that come with informal player-to-player trades that usually happen on third-party forums and chat groups.

The system works by holding the traded asset in escrow until both sides agree and payment is confirmed. GGPoker acts as the intermediary and claims not to charge a fee for the service. The company says this is a safer way for players to trade, noting that informal deals have often led to lost funds and other issues.

“While the poker community is largely built on trust, informal P2P trading carries real risk. There is no protection if the other party disappears, no recourse if a trade goes wrong, and no way to verify the person on the other side is who they claim to be.”

Players in the UK will have to sit this one out, as peer-to-peer transfers are prohibited there.

The Catch the World Series of Poker’s $250,000 No-Limit Hold’em Super High Roller highlights.

It is a final table that draws the best of the best, or at least the richest of the rich.

'The $250,000 No-Limit Hold’em Super High Roller represents the pinnacle of the high-stakes tournament scene, attracting many of the best players in the world to compete for one of the summer’s most coveted titles.’

For those who can’t make it to Las Vegas or scrape together a quarter million for a buy-in, the replay is the next best seat in the house.

Andrew Neeme hits the road with a $14,000 pot and a session giveaway that lets viewers grab a slice of the action.

According to his video, all you need to be eligible is an account with his code and at least a dollar in it, which is almost easier than making a cup of coffee.

Few debates get poker players more animated than the annual Hall of Fame picks, and this year is no different.

PokerOrg’s Craig Tapscott and Mike Patrick asked some of the game’s biggest stars for their unofficial ballots, and the answers did not disappoint.

Esther 'ETay’ Taylor is firmly on Team Shaun Deeb, calling him “one of the best tournament players in the world” and giving a nod to JJ Liu as her sleeper.

Bryn Kenney, meanwhile, sees Jason Koon as the favorite for induction with Deeb as his backup. Brian Rast, inducted last year, is staying tight-lipped, while Norman Chad admits he’s got no clue this time around.

Public nominations for the 2026 shortlist are open, so if you’ve got a favorite, now’s the time to speak up.
