We have a good lineup for the HCL High Stakes Friday tonight.

Rampage, Nik Airball, Peter, Britney… Something tells me we’ll see some crazy hands and massive pots tonight.

Jason and Sean are having some fun in the TAG Team event.

The unlikely duo teamed up for one of the most entertaining events of the summer, and they are just having a blast.

PokerStars Open Malaga is setting some records of its own.

While the eyes of the poker world are largely fixated on Las Vegas, on the other side of the globe, PokerStars Open Malaga is making some serious noise. The Main Event has absolutely smashed its €1M guarantee.

Right now, the prize pool stands at over €1.6M and the late registration is still open, with the tournament clock currently showing 1,667 entries.

It’s official – The WPT World Championship is coming back to the Wynn this December.

Just in case you were wondering, it was confirmed that World Poker Tour’s marquee World Championship event will be coming back to the Wynn this December. The exact dates and the full schedule will be revealed at the later date.

The full schedule for the 2026 WSOP Super Circuit Montreal is here.

There are 18 ring-awarding events on the docket, over C$14,000,000 in guaranteed prizes, and a massive C$10,000,000 Main Event. The upcoming WSOPC Montreal stop will be a massive one!

Faraz Jaka bringing us some everyday drama from the green felt.

Mike 'The Mouth’ Matusow is hoping he’ll finally get his place in the Hall of Fame.

Mike has once more made the final cut for the HOF, and, this year, there are up to six spots up for grabs, so this could be the year he finally gets inducted.

It was another runner-up finish for Josh Arieh in the PPC.

He now has two second places in this prestigious event, and we all know the saying. Third time is the charm, so hang in there, Josh. You’ll get them next time!

Phil Hellmuth’s Main Event costume is in the process.

As announced, Phil will be making his entrance dressed as a Superman, accompanied by his sons and a few other players dressed as other super heroes. BetRivers Poker will also send one lucky winner to join Hellmuth for his big entrance this year, so we’re looking forward to it.
