Guess who’s lying 888 edition.

2 minutes of fun as 888 ambassadors play against each other in this light-hearted lying game.

Poker, but make it influencer edition.

Nothing says 'festive’ like watching internet personalities and poker pros try to out-bluff each other at a $5/$10 cash game. If you were hoping for normal poker, you might want to look elsewhere. According to WPT Wildcard, the only thing wilder than the hands is the cast.

Jeremy Becker has made a name for himself dominating the daily tournaments at Wynn, but now he’s on a bigger stage.

As PokerNews reports, Becker heads into Day 5 of the $10,400 WPT World Championship with the chip lead, having surged late to overtake Soheb Porbandarwala, who had led most of the day.

The field is down to just 16 players from the original 1,865, and the stakes have ramped up. As PokerNews notes, “Each player left in the field has a guaranteed minimum payout of $145,000, and a maximum cash of $2,528,200. Reaching the final table of six is worth at least $540,000.”

Porbandarwala, who at one point had a commanding chip lead, slipped to third after losing a crucial hand to Konstantin Held. Meanwhile, Becker, who started the day ninth in chips, made his late move to bag 24,300,000. Jeremy Brown is also in the hunt with 21,350,000. Day 5 promises some serious pay jumps and, for Becker, a shot at the biggest win of his career.

WSOP Paradise 2025 is wrapping up, and the numbers are in.

Anuj reports that the series paid out an eye-watering $201.8 million in prizes across 15 bracelet events, with an average prize pool of $13.5 million per event. The Main Event alone had a massive $72.2 million prize pool and a $10 million top prize for the winner.

Despite giving away more than ever, WSOP actually collected less in fees this year: about $12 million from the main events, compared to over $13 million last year. Anuj credits this to the inclusion of Triton events with no admin fees and a lower average buy-in overall.

'Looking at the bigger picture, however, a $200 million total prize pool is remarkable considering the schedule featured only 15 bracelet events.’

Check out Anuj’s full number crunch for all the record-breaking details.

Bernhard Binder, a 27-year-old Austrian and mostly online player, just won the biggest score of his career at the WSOP Paradise Super Main Event, taking home $10 million and his first bracelet.

According to PokerNews, this happened a bit ahead of schedule, since fellow pro Mario Mosböck had only recently tipped Binder as a breakout star for 2026.

The final table had plenty of storylines. Natasha Mercier was chasing Liv Boeree’s record for the largest-ever tournament cash by a woman, and Terrance Reid swapped his media credentials for a shot at a life-changing payday. Binder’s heads-up opponent, Jean-Noel Thorel, brought a 51-year age gap to the match, making it a true generational showdown.

“[Thorel’s] a special opponent, and playing heads-up against him is challenging because there are more unexpected things [that] happen than [with] a lot of other opponents,” Binder told PokerNews. “But yeah, it was a great challenge.”

The $60 million guarantee was smashed, with nearly 2,900 entries pushing the prize pool over $72 million. Binder’s early arrival as a poker star was just one of many twists in a record-breaking event.

The WSOP Super Main Event winner has been crowned.

Firstly, huge congrats to Natasha Mercier who finished in 6th place!

Chasing $10 million in paradise.

The final table of the 2025 WSOP Paradise Super Main Event is about as eclectic as they come. According to PokerOrg, the field of 2,891 has been whittled down to eight, each guaranteed at least $1.1 million, and the winner walking away with $10 million. Jean-Noel Thorel, noted for his scientific background as much as his poker prowess, sits atop the chip counts.

Binder, an Austrian with a hot streak online, is looking to turn his recent digital success into live tournament glory. Natasha Mercier, half of poker’s original power couple, has returned to the felt after focusing on family life.

With high rollers, comeback stories, and a dash of scientific curiosity, this is one final table that promises more than just big pots.

The WSOP Super Main Event final table is set.

Jean-Noel Thorel is not your average chip leader. At 78, the French biologist dominated Day 4 of the WSOP Paradise $25,000 Super Main Event, ending with almost 40 percent of the chips after knocking out Leonard Maue in a classic aces-versus-kings battle. According to PokerNews, Thorel’s closest rival, Bernhard Binder, lost ground late but still has a healthy stack heading into the final day.

Natasha Mercier, the last woman standing, will try to better Liv Boeree’s deep run from last year. The final table also features bracelet winners Eric Wasserson and Franco Spitale, along with Belarmino De Souza, Terrance Reid, and Peter Chien.

“The day began with just 24 players returning from a record field of 2,891 entries at Atlantis Paradise Island Bahamas, which created a massive $72,275,000 prize pool with a cool $10,000,000 up top.”

It’s a stacked final table, but for now, the spotlight is firmly on Thorel and his commanding lead.

How to win big at poker: avoid the parties, play your own game and focus.

Chris Moneymaker knows a thing or two about turning an amateur ticket into a multimillion-dollar win. In an interview for Pokerati, he reflects on his own experience arriving in Las Vegas as an unknown accountant, and the temptation for new players to get distracted by the lifestyle and glitz.

He suggests rookies should keep it simple:

“I don’t try to study poker and learn new concepts, new strategies. There’s a time and place to learn poker theory, but going into the tournament, you need to play your game, what you’re comfortable with.”

With amateurs again lining up for WSOP Paradise in The Bahamas, Moneymaker’s advice is to focus on the game, not the parties or goodie bags. It might not be glamorous, but it worked for him back in 2003.

WSOP has revealed its key 2026 dates and a few new twists.

The flagship Las Vegas WSOP series will happen from May 26 to July 15 at Horseshoe and Paris, while WSOP Paradise returns to the Bahamas for December. For those planning ahead, satellites for all three major bracelet events will be running online via GGPoker and WSOP Online.

The European leg is moving to Prague and will now happen from March 31 to April 12, 2026.

This marks a big shift for WSOP Europe, which has traditionally slotted in later in the year. The full Vegas tournament schedule and Main Event dates are still under wraps. According to the announcement, players should “make early travel arrangements” if they want the best rates, so maybe don’t wait for the last minute offer this time.
