- The WSOP.com internet poker software release occupies two of the three top spots this week.
- Viktor “Isildur1” Blom winning the SCOOP main event and $1.1m in prize money was the second most read article of the week.
As expected, the WSOP drew the most interest this week as the 44th Annual World Series of Poker kicked off and the online software for WSOP.com was released to the public. Only play-money games are available, but the story that garnered the third most attention tells of players that were accidentally allowed to play for real-money soon after the release of the software.
Coming in second this week was the news that Viktor “Isildur1” Blom won the SCOOP main event and $1.1m in prize money.
So, if you have missed anything in poker news, keep on reading. Our weekly column every Saturday makes it easy to catch up or keep up with all the news in the world of poker.
And in a fun self-referential twist, this article series itself has grown in popularity so much that last week’s edition cracked this week’s top ten!
