Want to know about gambling tax implications in the US during the WSOP?

PokerNews has you covered.

“Deserve is a really bad word, because Im rich, I’m famous, I have everything.”

An astute take from The Poker Brat.

Can you name that player?

Finding this one surprisingly difficult.

When a $10,000 free roll just isn’t worth the hassle.

In a move that surprised just about everyone, Allen Kessler declined a free shot at $10,000, courtesy of ClubWPT Gold, by refusing to play Matt Savage heads-up in Las Vegas.

Kessler’s thriftiness is well known, though this time it seems he just preferred the grind at the World Series of Poker to a flashy freeroll.

Lappin makes a good point we hadn’t considered when it comes to the WSOP streams.

What do you think about red being the dominant color? I’m firmly with David on this one.

PokerStars Ontario returns to screens tomorrow.

So that means GGPoker Ontario has one day left of dominating the market.

Jennifer Harman, Poker Hall of Famer and two-time bracelet winner, is making her return to the World Series of Poker this summer.

After years spent crushing the cash games at Aria and Bellagio, Harman is looking to add a third bracelet to her collection, her first since the early days of the poker boom.

She told PokerNews during a break in the $10K Omaha Hi-Lo event:

“You know, I’m in a really positive place right now. So, you know, I feel good about it.”

Harman is considering playing more tournaments than usual, chasing the thrill she remembers from the 2000s poker TV heyday.

Of course, no Harman story would be complete without a nod to her infamous slowroll incident on TV in 2005—a moment that still gets airtime years later.
