But this time is Chris Moneymaker’s comments that seem spot on.

The first big PokerStars series on FanDuel Poker has been a goldmine for players looking for extra value.

Across the opening weekend, overlays have been the theme. Out of 13 completed events, 11 missed their guarantees, creating more than $200,000 in added value.

More overlays are expected as the series continues.

Professional poker icon Erik Seidel has decided to scale back his tournament play, and it makes mainstream news.

According to CNBC, Seidel says the new tax law changes have made the professional circuit far less appealing. Starting in 2026, professional gamblers can only deduct up to 90 percent of their losses against winnings.

Seidel told CNBC this is enough to make him cut down to just a quarter of the tournaments he used to play. He is not alone, either. Russ Fox, a tax expert who works with gamblers, says the margins are so thin now that several pros are walking away.

“For most professionals, the 90 percent loss limitation is going to have a major impact.”

Winamax’s long-standing partnership with the World Series of Poker (WSOP) is hitting a new milestone.

For years, the French operator has worked hand-in-hand with WSOP, running online satellites, producing the “In the Mind of a Pro” series, and even hosting online WSOP events that mirror the live festival. Now, that collaboration is entering a whole new era.

For the very first time, French-speaking fans will be able to watch a free, near-live broadcast of the entire WSOP festival, streamed directly on Winamax’s YouTube channel in the local language.

📅 From May 29 to July 15 (and slightly beyond), viewers can tune in every evening for around 10 hours of coverage, featuring the biggest moments and the most exciting final tables of the summer. The action will be brought to life by a team of expert commentators and special guest appearances in the French language.

After a short break, coverage resumes from August 3 to August 5 for the Main Event finale, once again available for free on Winamax’s YouTube channel.

While US audiences will catch the Main Event final table on ESPN, French fans now have their own front-row seat to the action, completely free.

According to PokerNews, Bleznick purchased a one-of-one Victor Wembanyama Topps Chrome Superfractor rookie autograph for $1 million and flipped it for $1.5 million.

BetMGM is bringing its Poker Championship back to the ARIA in Las Vegas, and this year there’s a $4 million guarantee on the line.

That is a million more than last year’s event, as BetMGM tries to up the stakes for its summer centerpiece.

The main event runs from June 29 through July 4.

Online qualifiers over on BetMGM Poker in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey can win their way in for as little as $10. The final qualifiers run the weekend before the live event, for those who like to cut it close.
