PokerStars now available on FanDuel in the USA! Largest tournament series for 🇺🇸 players over on FanDuel.

The Grinder is headed to the Aussie Millions.

It’s almost time for the long awaited return of the Aussie Millions and none other than WSOP 2025 Main Event winner Michael Mizrachi will be in attendance.

PokerStars on FanDuel taking their combined brand to Ontario.

April 15 marks the end of the current rewards system, with all completed Chests paid out between April 15 and 22. The new collab should go live in early May.

The new platform, which has already launched in the US, has received mixed reviews due to some connectivity and geolocation issues.

The operator has a few weeks to iron out these wrinkles before Ontarians get to try it for themselves.

PokerStars is marking 15 years of the Sunday Storm with a special $500,000 guaranteed edition in a multi-flight PKO format.

The anniversary edition of one of online poker’s most recognizable low-stakes tournaments will play out across dozens of Phase 1 flights, beginning Friday, April 17, and culminating in Phase 2 on May 10.

Players can enter as many Phase 1 flights as they wish, with the goal of reaching the money and advancing to the final stage.

The format marks a departure from the tournament’s traditional structure, with this special edition adopting a Progressive Knockout (PKO) phase format to mark the occasion.

The milestone also offers a chance to look back at the tournament’s origins.

As we noted on X, the Sunday Storm debuted on March 27 with a $1 million guarantee. Prior to its rebrand, the same event ran as the Sunday 1/4 Million, featuring an $11 buy-in and a $300,000 guarantee, and regularly attracting fields of more than 30,000 entries.

Just days later, however, the industry was shaken by Black Friday, which effectively shut down online poker in the United States. The impact was immediate and significant, with PokerStars losing an estimated 30–40% of its player pool overnight.

Despite that, the Sunday Storm endured. Fifteen years on, it remains a fixture on the schedule, even if its regular guarantees have settled closer to $75,000 in today’s environment.

For this anniversary edition, though, the prize pool climbs back to $500,000—spread across multiple starting flights rather than a single event.

Second chances officially endorsed by 888poker.

Ivan explains how the much-anticipated Run It Twice (RIT) feature is now available across all cash game tables at 888poker.

The feature, long a staple of live games, has players who go all-in before the river able to deal the remaining board twice, splitting the pot between the two results.

It’s not poker news, but it is a crazy statistic.

Honestly, it’s hard to get my head around.

More episodes of Hellmuth’s Home Game from BetRivers Poker coming in a few months’ time.

I’m a big fan of the show and its format, so I’m looking forward to the new episodes dropping.

Kristen Foxen’s trophy case just got a little more crowded. 🦅

Kristen Foxen has picked up her fifth career PGT title at the 2026 U.S. Poker Open, taking down Event #4 for $198,000 and 198 points.

According to PGT, this is her second Golden Eagle trophy and her first win of the 2026 PGT season.

Foxen now sits fourth on the U.S. Poker Open leaderboard and 27th on the overall PGT leaderboard for 2026. She’s cashed 45 times, made 18 final tables, and has over $4.1 million in PGT earnings.

PokerStars on FanDuel is now live, bringing players from New Jersey, Michigan, and Pennsylvania all together on a shiny new platform.

The relaunch keeps the PokerStars identity intact with headline formats like Spin & Go and Zoom sticking around, alongside the usual suspects like Sunday Million and Super Tuesday.

The big question, though, is about the cost to play.

Our article dives into how the new rake and tournament fees stack up against both the old PokerStars US offering and rivals in the American market.

Ep 2 of GGPoker's Online Poker Millionaires has now dropped!

Only five months after the first, this is the story of Kelvin Kerber, and we very much plan to watch it.

The PartyPoker live tour is not just sticking around, it’s expanding.

What started as a modest schedule has ballooned to ten stops spread across the UK and Spain, with each festival featuring a Main Event, Mini Main, and High Roller.

The operator has focused on making these events player-friendly, offering affordable buy-ins and constant online satellites.
