Aussie Millions is back and its writing some amazing poker stories already.

After a long hiatus, Aussie Millions has returned in style, and, as any major poker tournament series should do, it is creating some extraordinary winners’ stories. It’s the moments like this that remind us that the poker dream, albeit changed, is still very much alive.

Chance Kornuth is sharing some more tips on how to win at poker.

Over the last few days, Chance Kornuth has been quite active on his X profile, sharing some thoughts and tips on how to fix your mindset and improve your results at the table.

Of course, everyone is entitled to their own opinions about the game, but coming from someone who has close to $21 million in tournament winnings, it’s safe to assume Chance has a pretty good idea of what he’s talking about.

A brand new poker podcast is here, hosted by Brian Rast & Phil Laak.

Two absolute poker legends have joined forces to bring us yet another fun podcast, and, if you ask me, we can never have too many of these.

Phil Laak and Brian Rast have launched Late Reg Podcast, and the first episode has just dropped, featuring Eric Wasserson. Looking forward to what comes next out of these two!

Albert Daher is the last man standing in the EPT All In for One Drop High Roller.

Having outlasted the other 75 entries, Daher lifted the trophy for winning the prestigious event and added over €2,000,000 to his bankroll. Not a bad day at the office.

Mike 'The Mouth’ joins Table 1 Podcast to share some interesting stories.

Table 1 Podcast rarely misses a beat when it comes to their guests. The latest episode features none other than Mike 'The Mouth’ Matusow, one of more controversial characters in the poker world who’s very vocal about his opinions (game-related and otherwise).

Justin and Art talk to Mike about his gambling and poker beginnings, his later struggles involving depression, medical issues, and even jail, and what his life looks like now.

Here’s your full schedule for the tournament action this summer in Las Vegas.

While the World Series of Poker will be the star of the show, there are plenty of other tournament series taking place in Las Vegas at the same time. Whether you’re looking for cheaper alternatives or something to play while waiting for your WSOP event to restart, Kevmath has your covered.

Everyone is invited to join the big PokerStars celebration.

The online poker giant is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a huge online tournament series offering $50,000,000 in guarantees and heaps of special events taking place on Sundays. There are events for every bankroll, and all players are invited to join the action at PokerStars.

Go into the WSOP with the win mentality, says Chance Kornuth.

Not everyone will agree with this approach, but going for a big win or two makes a lot of sense if you’re planning on playing a bunch of tournaments this summer. One top-three finish will easily make up for any min-cashes you potentially miss out on while going for it.

The next generation of coverage is coming to the 2026 WSOP.

Jeff Platt shares some exciting details about what we can expect from live coverage of the 2026 World Series of Poker, and it all sounds pretty amazing. Looks like we’re in for quite a poker summer!

WSOP sets a new record for the largest prize pool in Texas history.

Despite recent turmoil with The Lodge, poker fans in the Lone Star State remain undeterred. The WSOP Circuit event at the Texas Card House attracted a total of 1,709 entries, resulting in a prize pool of almost $2.6 million!

This is the largest tournament prize pool in the history of the state, and we certainly hope to see more of the same, especially with all charges against The Lodge dropped. The future of poker in Texas looks brighter than ever.
