Over $5 Million in Guaranteed Prizes Across Three Festivals at WSOP Online This Fall

Some of the hands you see in low live-stakes games are just wild.

Here’s another live cash game hand breakdown from a $1/$3 game, and it’s really hard to keep up with what’s going on. A series of questionable decisions somehow leads to a favorable outcome?

Is Erik Seidel now attacking the backgammon scene?

It’s no secret that some of the best-known poker players are also quite good at backgammon. Gus Hansen, for one, has some pretty wild backgammon stories, but it seems like Erik Seidel is no slouch, either.

Just in case you’ve missed it – the Mixed Game Festival is happening right now at Bellagio.

There are only a couple of days left on the agenda, so if you’re up for some friendly, low-stakes mixed game action, head over there. It’s fun, there are plenty of surprise prizes up for grabs, and you’ll get to experience some poker variations that you’ve probably never even hear of. But don’t worry, you’ll get a quick-start guide for free!

WSOP Online is making October a marathon for tournament lovers.

Three separate series are running at once, with more than $5 million in guaranteed prizes and a mix of bracelets, rings, and reload bonuses for players.

The Fall WSOP Online Poker Festival leads the way, offering 33 bracelets and buy-ins from $400 to $3,200.

So if you’re playing online poker in Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania, or New Jersey, it might be time to clear your calendar.

Poker content creation isn’t easy and everyone has an opinion.

Have you seen Lexy’s new style vlogs?

Ok, there’s voice-over, which I don’t love, but the terminology primers that pop up and player profile graphics are cool for viewers who may not know too much about the game.

This photo of the JPO final tables, cannot be real can it?!

Context: The JPO Ladies Final Table prizes are condoms and lube from company Sagami. And the poker world is not happy.

In this latest vlog, Jaman Burton, dives into a private No Limit Hold’em game that borrows more than a little from Netflix’s Squid Game.

There are bounty chips, bomb pots, and a special round where the last person out has to pay the table.

How the sponsorship of the JOPT Ladies Championship could have gone right.

Yes, more on the lube and condoms story from the JOPT.

It’s worth going on X to read this translation in full.

It’s a really good way to understand how that partnership with SIGAMI could have worked out well.

888 and PokerNews are joining forces.

The online tournament series starts on October 18!

Day 2 of the Super High Roller Bowl PLO was all about narrowing the field from 27 down to the final six.

The stakes? A $1.15 million payday for whoever can outlast the others on October 7th.

Jason Koon, Jeremy Ausmus, and Nick Schulman are among those who survived the cull, and they’ll be back for the final table.
