WSOP Europe exceeds all expectations.

For the first time, WSOP Europe took place in Prague. It was expected that a more attractive and accessible location would result in a better turnout, but the 2026 series smashed it out of the park!

Over the course of 15 bracelet events, there were almost 15,800 entries and the series awarded just over €35.5 million in prizes.

The Main Event was by far the biggest in history, attracting 2,617 entries for a prize pool of over €13 million – €3 million over the original guarantee.

No Sweat Series continues tonight on FanDuel Poker.

There are four more tournaments taking place tonight at FanDuel Poker as a part of the No Sweat series. The action kicks off with Event #21, featuring a $10,000 prize pool.

The registration opens two hours before an event starts and the number of entries is limited, so get in early and make sure you have a seat at the table!

The record-breaking WSOP Europe Main Event is in the books. Marius Kudzmanas of Lithuania outlasted the field of 2,617 entries to claim his third WSOP bracelet and the €2,000,000 first-place money.

This was a huge year for WSOP Europe, with the series moving to Prague for the first time, and the record-breaking turnout in the Main and across the board confirmed this was the right decision by the organizers.

The case is far from over. This is worth a watch if you want to get up to date with what is happening.

Players liking the new FanDuel + PokerStars experience.

Nice to see some positive comments coming in for the new PokerStars-FanDuel mashup.

BetMGM Poker is taking a unique swing with its golf-themed tournament series.

We’ve seen BetMGM Poker roll out plenty of sports-themed series—basketball, baseball, even NFL.

But golf?

That’s a new one.

BetMGM is now leaning all the way in with its Fairway Classic series; 19 events running from April 9 to 13 with $200K in guarantees.

And here’s the fun part: every winner gets a customized Den Caddy golf bag.

It’s intriguing that PokerStars is running bigger Sunday Million guarantees in the US than globally this weekend.

Here’s something quite interesting happening this Sunday in the poker world.

PokerStars’ dot-com Sunday flagship tournament carries a $400,000 guarantee this weekend. Solid, but not extraordinary by its own historical standards.

Meanwhile, the new PokerStars on FanDuel, currently available in just three US states, is hosting two $500,000 guaranteed tournaments, both branded as Sunday Million.

Let that sink in for a moment.

The global dot-com network, spanning dozens of countries, isn’t hitting the $500K mark this weekend. Yet a ring-fenced US platform with a much smaller player pool is pushing past it—twice.

To be fair, context matters. This appears to be a one-off push on the US side. And historically, the dot-com network has set the bar much higher, regularly running $1 million guaranteed Sunday Millions.

In fact, on April 19, PokerStars will bring back a $500,000 guaranteed tournament on the dot-com network. So it’s not a question of capability, it’s more about timing and occasion.

Still, it’s a fascinating snapshot of how regional markets are evolving differently in today’s poker ecosystem.

Everyone loves an underdog story. Thanks GGPoker.

Zhu who entered the WSOP Europe Main Event via a GG qualifier is now chip leader of the final table.

Amazing scenes.

PokerStars ropes in VegasMatt to tell us about the upcoming Sunday Million.

The Sunday Million runs on FanDuel Poker THIS weekend, for the first time ever. It’s all very exciting.

Don’t forget even if you used to be PokerStars US player you need to sign up all over again now that the platform exists on FanDuel.

888poker is holding a special PLO Weekend from April 10 to 12. Which is this weekend!

During this time, PLO5 and PLO6 players will get 100 percent of their rake back, no matter the stakes. There are also special freerolls for tournament tickets and no annoying opt-ins—just play and wait for the refund.

It is a simple promo: play PLO5 or PLO6, get your rake back, and maybe score some freeroll action. For PLO fans, it is a decent excuse to fire up the tables for a couple days.

If true, this is a massive error from the WSOP Europe organizers.

The saving grace was the issues were fixed quickly, but sounds like some damage already done.

The final table for the 2026 WSOP Europe Main Event is set.

After a long day that cut the field from 25 to nine. Hengtao Zhu, who surprisingly qualified on GGPoker and had only $39,361 in live winnings before this, leads the way with a big stack. Chris ‘Big Huni’ Hunichen even told Zhu he was 'too f***ing good’ on Day 3.

The nine finalists return Friday at noon to play for the bracelet and €2 million.

How is the WSOP 2026 less than 2 months away?

Tom Dwan has weighed in on the Hustler Casino Live jack-four controversy, and his take is as cryptic as ever.

During a Q&A with Run It Once, Dwan paused for half a minute before launching into a rant involving the CIA and the Trump administration.

“The hand wasn’t clean. I’m not going to go into specifics, but the hand wasn’t clean.”

No charges, no clarity, and definitely no payout for The Lodge.

The Lodge Card Club in Texas just got a break: no criminal charges filed as the 30-day deadline hit, according to PokerNews. Still, the state is hanging onto more than $2 million seized in the March raid.

PokerNews says the court document now focuses solely on alleged illegal gambling, dropping the money laundering angle altogether.

The future of the club remains uncertain. Texas law is murky about poker rooms like The Lodge, with some arguing the law allows clubs that don’t collect rake, while others remain skeptical. The standard for conviction is high, as PokerNews points out, and many similar clubs keep operating without trouble.

As the WSOP Europe Main Event hits Day 5, the field is thinning faster than a stack after a bad beat.

The tournament, with a cool €10 million guaranteed, is now at the stage where only the top players remain, each one trying to outlast the others for a shot at the final table.

If you want the blow-by-blow, the WSOP is offering live updates and official coverage.

Andrew Robl has apparently made history on High Stakes Poker.

Doug Polk jumps in to give his analysis and showcase Robl making what is being called “one of the sickest plays we’ve ever seen,” leaving the rest of the table looking like they just saw a ghost.

The series runs from April 6 to 12 and features 24 freeroll tournaments with a combined $150,000 in prize money.

All you need to do is log in each day and check for ticket drops; no opt-in is needed for this part.

The 2026 WSOP Online Bracelet Series schedule has dropped, and according to Anuj, it’s business as usual.

The series will run from May 30 to July 14, offering 30 bracelet events to players in Nevada, New Jersey, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

Buy-ins will range from $250 to $5,300, with a combined $7 million in prize pool guarantees—up from previous years.

There are still three hybrid online-live events, a mobile-friendly interface for up to four tables, and a $50,000 leaderboard prize pool.

The popular 25 Seats Scramble is back, with fifty Main Event seats up for grabs.

PokerNews reports a tough day for two of poker’s most notable women at the WSOP Europe Main Event.

Shiina Okamoto, fresh off back-to-back Ladies Championship wins, found herself on the wrong side of a nightmare cooler: her pocket aces were crushed by Vasileios Panagiotidis’ quad jacks. Okamoto, who never saw the disaster coming, was eliminated in 37th for €40,000.

Annette Obrestad, making a much-anticipated return 19 years after her 2007 Main Event triumph, saw her pocket twos come up short against Sondre Stormyr. She finished 34th, also banking €40,000.

Thinking Sideways, the new book from Jen Shahade, is here!

Her book is now out in the wild. You can get it from loads of places, but if you are lazy (like me), Amazon is as good a place as any.

Hellmuth’s Home Game line up revealed by the man himself.

Lots of famous faces are making the list.

Hellmuth’s Home Game is sponsored by BetRivers Poker, but what makes it stand out is that it features zero commentary—so it’s just table talk all the way.

I, for one, am a fan!

The story of Austrian player reads like every online poker player’s wild fantasy.

Starting with just $10, he battled through three satellite stages and then survived a 210-player high roller field packed with some of the best in the world.

His previous GGPoker earnings barely cracked $55k, but this time, he entered the final table as the short stack and ended up with $411,843 and a $10k WSOP Paradise package.

Not a bad ROI for a Tuesday night.

Not everyone happy with the WSOP Online 2026 schedule.

Players in east coast states complaining of the late start times for many of the tournaments, and to be fair, they make a good point!

Birger Larsen found out the hard way that the only thing tougher than surviving a PLO championship is surviving the tournament director’s patience.

Per PokerOrg, after ignoring a penalty and some not-so-subtle hints to take a breather, Larsen was shown the door with 30 left.

Annette Obrestad, once the youngest-ever WSOP gold bracelet winner, is making her return to World Series of Poker Europe after nearly a decade away from high-stakes poker.

As reported on PokerNews, Obrestad stepped away from the game citing burnout and a need to experience life beyond the poker table.

During her hiatus, she embraced creative pursuits, including running a YouTube makeup channel and even competing in Scrabble tournaments. Now, she says those experiences have given her a new outlook as she steps back into the poker spotlight.

She now back at WSOP Europe and running deep!

PokerStars is launching the Irish Open Afterparty, with a 69-event schedule from April 12 to 20 and over $3 million guaranteed across the series.

The buy-ins start at $5.50, so even if your wallet is still recovering from the live event, you can probably afford a shot at glory.

Absolute perfection.

The Phil Hellmuth nostalgia we didn’t know we needed.

When poker trash talk gets a little too real: some Negreanu x Mizrachi nostalgia.

When Daniel Negreanu and Michael Mizrachi first crossed paths, things got heated. On Season 4 of NBC’s National Heads-Up Poker Championship back in 2008, they shared how an online game almost escalated into a real-life confrontation.

Mizrachi recalled, “I’d just knocked him out of a game. I got lucky in the hand, but I was just goofing around. And then it got serious.”

Negreanu added that there was talk of flying to Vegas to settle things, but it never came to blows.

Instead, their rivalry played out at the poker table, where Mizrachi eventually took the win. According to PokerNews, it was all just part of the game, and the two are friendly now.

If you don’t remember the anal beads controversy then who even are you?!

WSOP Europe towing the line when it comes to devices at tables.

Per the new rules, electronic devices are banned at WSOP events once the table is down to its final stages.

Poker pro Landon Tice notes how, over in Prague, the dealers are keeping everyone in check.

I, for one, think it’s a good thing to ban devices at the tables, but others at The Rail—looking at you, Ivan—disagree.

You can read why he thinks banning phones is a bad idea in his op-ed from last year.

BetRivers Poker going above and beyond.

Last year, thanks to BetRivers Poker poker player, Leah Bella (@Lelepokerr on X), got an opportunity to play with Phil Hellmuth, who was her late-father’s favorite player.

What a nice thing to do for someone!

The No Sweat freeroll Series is off to a strong start on FanDuel Poker.

Over 6,000 entries participated on the first day of the series.

If you’re looking to build a bankroll on a new platform, this is one of the best places to begin.

FanDuel Poker is live—time to claim the funniest, weirdest, or most random username before someone else does.

Choosing a new username or screen name is always tricky. Some people go with a mix of their name and a few numbers matching their birthday or anniversary (like john0669), some go completely random, and others try to be funny, sometimes painfully so (ever seen something like “AllInNoWin”?).

We’ve spotted some of the most unusual screen names on the new PokerStars on FanDuel platform, and honestly, some of these names are hilarious and some are absolutely not 😄

And some lucky folks grabbed these simple/common words:

The best part? It’s still a new platform, which means there’s plenty of room to grab something original—whether that’s hilarious, ridiculous, or just plain random. Might as well take your shot.

Winner of the WSOP Europe Main Event gets a $2 million payday.

WSOP Europe has broken all-time records, drawing 2,617 entries and building just over €13 million in prize money.

And now the payouts are out: first place takes a whopping €2 million, with a total of 393 players making the money and the min-cash at €10,000. PokerNews is doing a solid job reporting live on the action.

Here’s a simple tip you need to know to improve your experience on PokerStars on FanDuel.

So, FanDuel Poker has been live for nearly a week now. While a lot of players have reported issues with the new platform, the traffic has been strong and games are running well overall. That said, if you’re looking to improve performance, here’s a tip that’s been working for some players.

For a cleaner and smoother experience: open the PokerStars on FanDuel desktop client, log in (or sign up if you haven’t yet), then go to Settings → Application → Rendering Engine, and switch from DirectX 11 to DirectX 12 (assuming you’re on a modern PC).

Based on player feedback, this simple change has made a noticeable difference for many. Give it a try and see if it improves your setup.

Nedelcu turns the Irish Open into his own victory lap.

Narcis Nedelcu took home the Irish Open trophy after beating a record-breaking field of more than 5,000 players at the Royal Dublin Society. The Romanian pro, fresh off a big online win, called the victory “something so, so special” when talking to PokerNews.

The event’s massive €4.8 million prize pool smashed the organizers’ guarantee. After hours of final-table play, the last five players agreed to chop most of the money, with Nedelcu securing €336,798 and the trophy after a quick heads-up against Danilo Donnini.

Sam Greenwood’s take on that hand between Robl and Gavri.

The high stakes action over on PokerGO rarely disappoints. Everyone is talking about the hand between Andrew Robl and Justin Gavri. Now we have Sam Greenwood’s take.

Dig in below.

Sometimes the house actually cares about the players. BetRivers Poker has entered the chat.

Instead of just focusing on rakebacks or tournament guarantees, BetRivers Poker has built a reputation for personal touches—like helping one player, Leah Bella, keep a promise to her late father through a yearly poker tradition.

When Leah lost a cherished Pirates hat tied to that tradition, BetRivers didn’t just send her a replacement. They got Phil Hellmuth to sign it.

It’s a reminder that sometimes, even in online poker, the human element isn’t totally lost.

There is a new poker brand in town. FanDuel Poker is finally live in the United States.🇺🇸

When a single hand gets more attention than most tournaments.

Yes it is that Kristen Foxen Triton Jeju Main Event pocket-kings-hand.

The hand created so many armchair experts, Doug Polk had to wade in.

The hand itself has become the subject of much speculation, with viewers left to wonder what exactly Foxen did that broke the mold.

Was it an epic fold, a hero call, or just a case of kings getting cracked in spectacular fashion? Doug gets into it.

Ivan gives the lowdown on how to snag a seat at the UKPL Blackpool Main Event via 888poker.

The process is simple: play 50 tournaments online between April 11 and May 2, with a minimum $5 buy-in. BLAST tournaments are included, so you can turbo your way to qualification if you like things fast.

There is no opt-in, but you do need to be a UK player with at least one real money deposit. Once you hit 50 tournaments, you get a single ticket to the May 3 freeroll satellite. No rebuys, no second chances—just a freezeout for the top 30 to book their Main Event entry.

As many of you know, the new FanDuel Poker platform is here.

Borrowing money from Antonio: the real big game.

The Bank of Antonio Esfandiari was open for business, with Nick Wright making more withdrawals than he did hero calls on the Big Game on Tour finale.

Per Ivan’s round up on pokerfuse, while Esfandiari and Gronk hogged the spotlight, Rania Nasreddine quietly racked up six figures and the two Phils (Laak and Hellmuth) just tried to stay solvent.

WSOP Europe Main Event smashes guarantees with massive turnout.

We finally have the numbers for the WSOP Europe as late registration on Day 2 has officially closed.
