Deepstack is gearing up to launch later this year, promising a poker experience that its creators say will shake up the way people watch the game.

Elton Tsang, who is behind the show, told PokerNews, “We want to present poker in a different way from how people are used to.”

The format borrows inspiration from Squid Game and Netflix’s Drive to Survive, hoping to turn poker into must-watch episodic entertainment. This could be shaping up to the best the poker show of the year.

Managing Director Jelle Moene says the team is learning as they go, filming with a trial-and-error approach. The aim is to attract not just the biggest players, but the biggest audience as well.

“You have to think a little bit in the direction of Drive to Survive. It’s the biggest players. It’s the highest stakes. We make it more cinematic, and we’re learning as we’re going along which is exactly how I think it should be.”

The show is still in production, but Tsang and Moene are betting the poker world is ready for something radically different—at least according to PokerNews.

GGPoker’s Spin & Gold format has produced its 13th million-dollar jackpot in 2026.

This time, Mattias Hansen of Denmark took home the top prize, with two Latvian players sharing the rest.

The game had a $200 buy-in, and the odds of hitting the jackpot are 30 in 10 million. GGPoker’s payout structure is flatter than PokerStars, with $500,000 for the winner, $300,000 for second, and $200,000 for third.

Players on PokerStars on FanDuel have been wondering what happened to the mixed games that were promised when the platform switched over earlier this year.

Despite the absence of games like 8-Game and H.O.R.S.E. from the September Dynasty Series schedule, these formats are still in the pipeline.

We understand that 8-Game will be the first to arrive, with others like H.O.R.S.E., Stud, and Razz also in the works.

The delay is likely due to regulatory hurdles and the complexities of launching new variants on a fresh platform.

Changes happening for EPT Prague and beyond.

The Maryland State Poker Championship, sponsored by PokerStars on FanDuel, wrapped up with some impressive numbers.

The 16-event series pulled in 3,032 entries and generated nearly 1.5 million dollars in prize money, overshooting guarantees by almost 40 percent.

The Main Event dropped its buy-in from 2,200 to 1,700 dollars this year. That change did the trick, attracting 380 entries and building a 570,000 dollar prize pool, beating the guarantee by 14 percent.

PokerStars has now transformed into the PokerStars Network.

Betfair is the first brand to join the new network, ditching iPoker and rebranding as PokerStars on Betfair. Later this year, Paddy Power and Sky Poker are set to follow.

Rumors about PokerStars scrapping its own software and moving to iPoker have swirled for years, especially after Sky Bet and PokerStars’ North American operations shifted software.

As Anuj reports, those rumors can finally be “put to bed.” The iconic PokerStars software, along with signature tournaments like Sunday Million and WCOOP, isn’t going anywhere.

“The PokerStars software, which has been live since 2001, is staying. So too are the iconic PokerStars brands and products.”
