GGPoker Ontario Enjoys Massive MTT Surge as Record-Breaking Series Hits Full Swing

Doug Polk is in the mix for the upcoming HCL streams next week.

With the Lodge drama finally over, Doug Polk can shift his attention back to poker, and it looks like he’s eager to shuffle some chips and play some big pots.

Polk will be joining the Hustler Casino Live lineup for live streams on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, and in addition to his poker skills, he always manages to bring good vibes to the table, so make sure to pencil the dates.

Fossilman is still very much in the mix, and his passion for poker is as strong as ever.

Greg 'Fossilman’ Raymer made his claim to fame by winning the WSOP Main Event in 2004, just a year after Moneymaker’s momentous run.

In his recent interview with Paul Seaton, Raymer looks back at his victory, remembers a scary story about almost being robbed (or worse) just after the Main Event, talks about how one bad beat in the 2005 WSOP potentially cost him tens of millions in equity, and much more.

This Paul’s series of interviews with past WSOP champions has gone from strength to strength, so if you enjoy poker history as much as I do, you should definitely check out this latest sequel.

Don’t forget – The Big Game on Tour is returning this Sunday, and the lineup looks great.

With the likes of Jason Koon, Shaun Deeb, and Matt Berkey in the mix, Andy Taylor, the latest Loose Cannon, will have his work cut out for him. But anything can happen over a few dozen hands, and that’s what makes this show so captivating!

Nick Airball crushes it on the HCL Mega Cash Mania.

He won close to a cool million playing the $500/$1,000 game on Friday, against the likes of Alan Keating and Phong “Turbo” Nguyen. Keating had a rough session, losing over $500k on the night, while Nguyen dropped around $600k.

The PartyPoker Tour in Madrid is going strong.

With the registration still open, the €100k GTD Main Event has already produced the largest field in the tour’s history. It’s pretty clear by now that poker players just love it in Spain, as almost every event in the country posts massive numbers.

New WSOP sponsorship rules could create some friction.

This year, the World Series of Poker has introduced a serious set of rules pertaining to wearing sponsor patches and other sponsored gear at the tables. It looks like this could be a major friction point for some players like Patrick Leonard, a CoinPoker ambassador, who was denied the opportunity to promote the site during the Series.

Popular London’s casino bans a player for 'hit-and-run’ strategy – is this a first?

According to the article, a poker player was banned from London’s Hippodrome Casino for his 'hit-and-run’ strategy, where he’d leave the game shortly after doubling up. It’s not against the rules to do so, but players usually don’t like this.

The player in question tried suing the casino to the tune of £100k, claiming damages, but the case was quickly dismissed.

The lesson here? Don’t hit and run, it’s just not cool, and if everyone did it, there’d be no games running.

Here’s a nice trick how to get over the 'short stack anxiety’ in poker tournaments.

We’ve all been there – our stack dwindling deep in a tournament, cards not coming our way, and blinds relentlessly going up. Sam Greenwood has a nice mental trick to help you get over that feeling of anxiety by reminding yourself of one simple thing.

Big news for Texas poker: The Lodge has beaten the charges and will reopen soon. That win has clubs and players breathing a sigh of relief, at least for now.

Momentum from this win rolled straight into an outsized {WSOP Circuit] event at Texas Card House Social in Austin. The tournaments broke all expectations, with new records and even some firsts, like a 2-7 ring and Double Board Bomb Pot ring.

The WSOP was so pleased they’ve already announced another stop in September.

But not everything is smooth sailing. PokerOrg reminds us that legal uncertainty still hovers over poker in Texas.

Ongoing legal challenges remain for Texas poker clubs and operators, as the interpretation and enforcement of poker-related laws continue to be questioned.

More details on the Lodge reopening thanks to PokerOrg.

The Lodge will be reopening on the same day that the WSOP kicks off. Let’s hope it’s an auspicious start for everyone involved.
