Daniel Negreanu is all set for the $100k Super High Roller Bowl Mixed Games.

The action kicks of on Thursday, and it will be one of the biggest non-Hold’em tournaments to take place this year. DNegs will be in the mix, going against some of the best in the game. We have exciting few days ahead, especially if you love mixed games!

Better late than never!

Corey Eyring’s latest vlog is here, featuring his exploits at the 2025 WSOP Paradise, including a shot at the Super Main Event. Yes, the series concluded almost two months ago, but it’s a fun video nonetheless, so check it out.

A new poker documentary has landed! And it has nothing to do with the WSOP.

I’ll be honest. I haven’t heard of the No Filter Poker tour before, and I’m sure that says more about me than about the reach of Mounir Tajiou, whom the documentary is focused on. He and the Mizrachis, that is.

I haven’t watched the entire doc yet, but it’s definitely next up on my list.

Brazil. That’s the only correct answer.

I’m not even checking the options. Just look at the results from WSOP Online bracelet series on GGPoker, or SCOOP and WCOOP on PokerStars. The consistency, the volume, the depth of runs, Brazil is always at the top.

If we’re talking about the general poker population, the everyday grinders, the online regulars, no country comes close to Brazil right now. The numbers, the results all back it up.

Sure, if the debate is strictly live poker, the USA probably has the edge and will take the gold medal, probably Canada second.

But if we include just online results, Brazil has to be at the top along with the USA (too bad, USA is segregated from the rest of the world).

Ahh, I see the options now. I’m going with Team Canada 🇨🇦 😅

Loads of top tier guests heading the Chip Race Podcast this week.

Guests include high stakes poker pro Alexandros Theologis, along with Irish Open host Phil ‘The Tower’ Heald.

Irish Open ambassador Chris Dowling breaks down a bluff from last year’s Mediterranean Poker Party and Turlough McHugh stops by to discuss his contributions to Dara and Barry’s new book, Simplify Poker.

This episode is guest sponsored by the Irish Poker Open which takes place in March over in Dublin.

Has Phil Hellmuth seen the WSOP 2026 schedule already?

According to socials he has. Although the rest of the poker community waits with baited breath.

WSOP Toronto should be coming this fall.

We have it on good authority that the WSOP Toronto stop will still take place this year, but that it will happen in the second half of the year rather than spring.

Living the life, Nacho-style.

Nacho Barbero got in some hot water about a year ago, when he was accused of using RTA software. However, it seems he’s landed on his feet, with a new sponsorship deal and continuing to live his life the only way he knows how: playing poker, gambling, and always looking for something new to be excited about.

Bankroll management is always a relevant topic in poker.

The game of poker may change and evolve, but how one manages their bankroll will always be one of the key success-defining aspects of their careers in the long run. Jonathan Little shares some useful thoughts on the topic, including a table overview for cash games based on your expected win rate.

WSOP 2026 full schedule release hits a delay.

Uh oh… seems like there’s a delay in the WSOP 2026 full schedule release. We were hoping for it this week, but Kevin Mathers, the go-to source for all things WSOP, doesn’t think it will be released this week. Our own sources confirm there’s a delay.

Fingers crossed for a release next week!

Is poker waiting for its Queen’s Gambit?

Kim Lund, Founder & CEO of Aftermath Interactive, shared an interesting take on LinkedIn:

Poker deserves its Queen’s Gambit moment.
An argument can be made that what Queen’s Gambit did for chess, Rounders did for poker. But that movie is 20+ years old. Since then, the world of poker has yielded a vein of narrative gold just waiting to be mined.
How should do? How should it be done? Is it too late?

Our colleague Ivan asked a very similar question in his op‑ed last year — Makings of the Ultimate Poker Movie: Can Poker Have Its Queen’s Gambit? — exploring whether poker could find a modern breakout narrative the way Queen’s Gambit did for chess.

So many trophies.

This might be an old post, but damn… Patrick “padspoker” Leonard’s trophy collection is unreal. SCOOP, WCOOP, bracelets, the man just stacks hardware.

And speaking of trophies, we’ve already talked about the BetRivers Poker Spring Championship Series, but it’s worth another look. All 88 events come with an exclusive BetRivers trophy for the winner, plus one more for the Player of the Series leaderboard champ.

Check the details below

Money stolen from rooms during WSOP Paradise.

And according to Weisman, the money stolen has still not been recovered.

I have never been to Atlantis, but it seems from the comments that this might be a more common problem there than we think.

How much has Seth Davies, Sam Greenwood and Jeremy Ausmus lost to which hands?

Run it Once Training has the answers.

High-stakes rerun: Triton Poker Series cash game invitational goes big.

The Triton Poker Series rerun showcases the kind of cash game where the smallest blind is a thousand dollars and the buy-in is half a million.

Players are seated with $500K in front of them, playing No-Limit Hold 'Em with $1K, $2K, and $5K blinds, all under the watchful commentary of Ali Nejad and Randy “Nanonoko” Lew.

Big names make it to Goldstein’s “Secret Poker Ledger”.

Tom Goldstein’s poker game has shifted from the felt to the courtroom, with his “secret poker ledger” now at the center of a federal trial. This ledger, which lists some of the biggest names in poker and business, was introduced as evidence by prosecutors who allege Goldstein committed tax fraud and lied to mortgage lenders.

Some notable entries include Dan “Jungleman” Cates, billionaire Chamath Palihapitiya, real estate mogul Bob Safai, and WSOP bracelet winner Tony Gregg. According to PokerNews, the ledger was never shared with Goldstein’s accountant, which became a key point in the trial.

The trial continues in Maryland, with more high-profile names and details emerging as the case unfolds.

BetRivers Poker is rolling out its second Championship-branded series this February.

The BetRivers Spring Championship offers 44 events at two buy-in levels each, for a total of 88 tournaments and $515,350 in guaranteed prize money. Buy-ins start at just $5 and go up to $500, with most events priced under $100.

Apparently Hellmuth has made $20 million from PrizePicks investments.

In his latest brag-post, Phil Hellmuth takes PrizePicks founder Adam Wexler out for a $50K shopping spree and admits to making $20M in a recent investment with the company.

Is it just me, or do all these posts about Hellmuth’s investments, portfolio, and money leave you feeling grossed out as well?

Loving this breakdown of profit from Robin Poker.

Lukas outlines all of his profit since he started playing poker professionally in 2020.

I found it super refreshing to see his profit broken out like this. It somehow makes the streams feel more real. Or is that just me?

An interesting take on solvers, AI, and future of the game.

Benjamin 'bencb’ Rolle shares his views on the role of AI and solvers in poker, and, unlike many, he’s not worried about the future of the game.

While all the tools make it easier to play well, they’re not a magic wand. Players need to put in the work to actually unlock their full potential, and it’s not as easy as clicking a few buttons.

'Bencb’ believes that many people (wrongly) see solvers and AI as shortcuts, and that approach creates more “suckers” than good players, and there is definitely some truth to his arguments.
