Rampage Poker in tournament action.
The latest vlog from Rampage features his exploits during the last year’s WPT World Championship at the Wynn. It’s a nice change of pace from the usual cash game action, but whatever the format, one thing you can be certain of even before watching is that chips were flying all over the place.
It is Rampage, after all!
A record overlay.
And yep… the record’s broken. 🤯
GGMasters Anniversary Edition ($10M GTD) posts a $1.79M overlay — the largest ever seen online.
10,041 in the final flight.
59,480 entries total.
Of course Phil Hellmuth was at the Super Bowl.
And of course his timeline is full of all the schmoozing he got up to in one of suites.Is GGPoker about to shatter the biggest overlay record ever?
Well, well, well… 👀 GGPoker’s GGMasters Anniversary is currently sitting on a $2.6M overlay at the time of writing and it has a real shot at becoming the largest overlay in online poker history.
For context, the current record belongs to India’s PokerBaazi GOAT, which overlaid by $1.4M, while PokerStars’ The Big Blowout comes in second after missing its $5M guarantee by $1.23M.
With roughly 2 hours of late registration still open, GGMasters needs about $1.2M more in buy-ins, roughly 8,700 entries, just to avoid rewriting the record books, which feels like a very tall task.
This is the 7th and final flight of the $150 buy-in event carrying a massive $10M guarantee. It required 72,464 total entries to break even and has drawn just over 53,000 so far.
In a couple of hours, we’ll know exactly how historic this one turns out to be. 🍿
Latest vlog from Brad Owen has landed.
Welcome to episode 365. Settle in as Owen takes us through the highs and lows of his latest adventures the poker table.Hellmuth eyes million dollar cash game.
Phil Hellmuth, the self-proclaimed greatest tournament player ever, might finally step into the lion’s den of high-stakes cash games.
PokerNews reports that he is likely to play in the upcoming Million Dollar Game at Hustler Casino Live, an event where the buy-in alone is enough to make even seasoned pros sweat.
The game’s lineup is still a mystery, but regulars like Nik Airball and Alan Keating are expected.
Sponsorship package pulled before it even begins.
Thomas Clack, the 2025 National Poker League Player of the Year, has lost his Grosvenor Poker sponsorship after being suspended by the iPoker Network. His violation? Having a GTO solver open while playing an online tournament. According to Clack, he was just using it to check his play after hands, not to cheat.
“I wasn’t trying to use it to cheat. I was just studying with GTO out whilst I was playing. After a hand had been played, I looked it up to see if I played it well. I wasn’t using it to affect my play, but I had it open, which was silly.”
Grosvenor confirmed the decision, stating Clack no longer met the criteria for the £40,000 sponsored pro package. Any remaining prizes will be paid out in due course.
Alex Foxen is making 2026 look easy.
According to PokerNews, he picked up his second live win of the year at the MSPT Poker Bowl X, taking down a $1,600 event for $165,235.
With 740 players in the field and a $1 million guarantee, Foxen outlasted some notable names, including WSOP bracelet winner Nick Palma and 2024 WSOP Main Event final tablist Joe Serock.
