Are you ready for the BetRivers Poker Championship?

The festival brings 100 events, giving those who enjoy online poker in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Delaware, and West Virginia a great opportunity to compete for big prize pools and fun trophies.

There is another Daniel Negreanu stream coming up.

A bit of a longer delay since it is a heads-up tournament, but should be fun nonetheless.

Phil Hellmuth, Jungleman, Deeb, and the rest of the crew, living their best lives.

Phil Galfond is on a mission to create a few new high stakes crushers.

Galfond’s new poker training program is designed for the players who already play high stakes No Limit Hold’em but want to push the envelope. If you think this is for you, there are still a few spots open, so don’t be afraid to apply.

Although it was in the making for some time, it finally came to pass. PokerStars has officially become a network, becoming a full B2B proposition and offering its network, technology, and player liquidity to interested outside operators.

Although he captured no bracelets, Negreanu has had a very solid run in the WSOP Online series.

Kid Poker managed to make three final tables last week, proving his skills on the virtual felt. He couldn’t quite close the deal in any of the events, but he came very close to winning his ninth bracelet, and it’s only a matter of time.
