Matt Berkey is on the Uncapped Poker Podcast.

PokerStars is bringing back The Big Game on Tour, starting this Sunday on YouTube.

The announcement, which slipped out during the €100,000 High Roller Invitational, will see Jason Koon return to the felt alongside Shaun Deeb, Matt Berkey, and some new faces like MMA fighter Sean O’Mailey.

PokerStars never fails to deliver when it comes to The Big Game lineups. This season is no exception, with a mix of hardened pros and recreational stars that should keep things interesting for the next 150 hands. The Loose Cannon role is back, and with this lineup, they’ll need all the luck they can get.

Let’s all show Ashley Frank aka “Pokerface Ash” some love.

Gus Hanson on if poker is dying out.

Negreanu breaks down the real WSOP action: drafting and deals.

Experience levels: 83. Table respect: infinite. It’s the best story of the week!

Some WSOP nostalgia.

I’m not crying, you’re crying.

Free poker coverage? WSOP 2026 has got you covered.

Night 2 of No Gamble, No Future Live put a spotlight on Chris Moneymaker, who ended the evening with $74,400 in profit, showing everyone that he is still a force to be reckoned with at the felt.

He reached nearly $160,000 in chips at one point before coming back to earth, but he kept his top spot on the leaderboard.

Meanwhile, Phil Hellmuth managed a win, though PokerOrg points out it was a modest one.

The latest PokerNews Podcast tries to answer whether CoinPoker is a safe bet or just another headache for online grinders.

The latest episode of Hellmuth’s Home Game, according to PokerNews, was full of action—and not always the kind Hellmuth probably wanted.

In the opening hand, P3 found himself felted after a risky call against 3Coin, while Kelly Lucas’s aggressive all-in bluff kept things unpredictable.

But the real highlight came when Mike Matusow made quads, giving the usually talkative table something to really discuss. As PokerNews points out, the lack of commentary on the show means every reaction is raw and unfiltered, especially when a big hand like this comes up.

WSOP coverage gets a reboot for 2026.

Daniel Negreanu sat down with Chance Kornuth for a sprawling conversation covering everything from the latest WSOP controversies to the enduring art of reading live tells.

He doesn’t shy away from naming names, discussing Martin Kabrhel, William Kassouf, and even his own beef with Phil Hellmuth. According to Negreanu, the modern era of solver-driven strategy is a far cry from the golden days.

He goes into detail about studying with younger players, the shifting prestige of WSOP bracelets, and what it takes to stay on top. As for the cheating scandals and online poker integrity, Negreanu is blunt about the challenges the industry faces.

“The best way to study poker today is not the same as it was ten years ago. You have to adapt if you want to win.”

By the end, he offers advice to aspiring grinders and reflects on his own legacy, all with the practiced candor you’d expect from a poker legend.

How good is Andrew Neeme at poker – according to Charlie Carrel.

Charlie Carrel is back with his series where he rates poker players and their abilities. In the spotlight this time around is Andrew Neeme, one of the original poker vloggers.

There is no doubt that Neeme inspired dozens, if not hundreds, of players to try their hand at vlogging, but how good is he at the green felt, really? (According to Carrel, at least).

Winamax puts its pros to the punctuality test.

Ok, here’s a fun insider moment. Winamax scheduled a meeting for 14:30 and decided to put their team to the test.

What’s likely a regular catch-up suddenly doubles as a fun behind-the-scenes moment, with arrivals timed and recorded. Watch the video to see if Gus Hansen, Adrián Mateos Díaz, Davidi Kitai, Leo Margets, Mustapha Kanit, João Vieira, and others beat the clock ⏰

Brad Owen breaks silence on the Lodge as well as walking through some massive career wins.

Owen walks us through some of his most memorable hands and offers a glimpse into his thought process during each big moment.

The video is peppered with Owen’s trademark dry humor and a few moments where he seems genuinely surprised by his own success.

Jungleman schools us in making $15 million look casual.

Brian Rast and Phil Laak sit down with Eric Wasserson for the debut episode of Late Reg, where the high stakes world gets broken down in a few hours of stories and strategy.

The episode covers everything from the quirks of Antonio Esfandiari’s magic obsession to Wasserson’s own roots as a high school gambler.

They swap tales of wild hands, like playing 70 percent of pots and monster straddles with Kevin Hart. If you think poker is glamorous, Wasserson’s WSOP results and Brian’s missed Day 2 might change your mind. They debate whether poker should be a career, discuss the 'solver era’, and even touch on Neuralink and the possible end of live poker.

The HCL Million Dollar Game takes place on June 12.

Set inside the Horseshoe Casino, the upcoming edition of the Million Dollar Game will feature the likes of Alan Keating, Santosh, Texas Mike, and more.

Even though the game takes place in the middle of the World Series, it will likely steal the show for the duration. With that kind of lineup, the word fireworks immediately comes to mind!

Prop bets and $5 million dollar pot live streams, this week on the PokerNews pod.

Brad Owen puts it all on the line at the WPT Gardens Poker Championship, and just when you think you’ve seen every possible heartbreak, an ace shows up to keep things interesting.

Norman Chad returns for his 24th year covering the WSOP Main Event, and this time ESPN is back in the game.

Chad told PokerOrg that the return to ESPN is a big deal for poker, especially after years of coverage that, in his words, “have almost taken the mainstream audience out of the game.”

But don’t expect to find the Main Event live on your TV this year. According to Chad, “The Main Event will be livestreamed, but it’s not on ESPN or ESPN2. It’ll be on the ESPN app.”

Final table coverage will make it to ESPN2, and highlight shows will pop up on both ESPN and ESPN2. If you want the action as it happens, you’ll need to join the millions of ESPN app subscribers.

Just another day in the office for Kid Poker.

GGPoker ambassador Daniel Negreanu tries his hand at the WSOP Online $5K PLO High Roller and ends up with a stack that could double as a small mountain.

If you ever wondered what it looks like when a poker legend has a very good day online, this is your chance.

Matt Marinelli, who goes by ILuvAvrilLavigne91 online, is not buying the whole “poker is dead” narrative.

In a recent live Q&A on Making $10 Million in Poker, Marinelli discussed his ongoing quest to reach an eye-watering $10 million in poker winnings. He’s already banked over $3 million online, which means he is either very skilled or just incredibly committed to the grind.

He fielded questions from viewers about his journey, reflected on the current state of poker, and promoted his ongoing journal on Run It Once. According to Marinelli, “There is still plenty of money to be made if you are willing to study and adapt.”

“Poker is not dead. It’s just evolved.”

For those interested in his approach or looking for a little motivation, the video also offers a discount code for training at Run It Once. Poker might have changed, but for Marinelli, the game is far from over.

Brad Owen is back with some high stakes action from the Bellagio.

DNegs is back with another online session.

Check out Daniel Negreanu’s latest video, featuring his run in some high-stakes tournaments on GGPoker, his trademark colorful commentary, and emotions that come through.

Negreanu was never the one to hide his feelings when playing poker, especially when doing it online, where his opponents can’t see his reactions, which adds an extra layer of entertainment to his streams and videos.

Lex Veldhuis, according to his latest session, really believes in the power of game theory and strategic adjustments.

He spends this video dissecting his Day 2 tournament run, focusing on the math, the risk management, and trying to make all the right moves.

But as the video shows, sometimes all that analysis is just background noise for a simple truth in poker: things can go off the rails, fast. Veldhuis puts it plainly:

'No matter how much you prepare, sometimes the cards just have other plans.’

He invites viewers to think about the bigger lessons, like adapting on the fly and not letting variance tilt your whole session. Still, the main message seems to be that even the professionals are just along for the ride sometimes.

Some Triton high roller action featuring Alex Foxen and Mike Watson.

Dan 'Jungelman’ Cates looses his cool during a recent HCL stream.

Even the most experienced of players who have pretty much seen it all are not immune to tilt.

On a recent Hustler Casino Live stream, Dan 'Jungleman’ Cates lost a hand to a runner-runner, and, even though it wasn’t that big of a pot (for his standards, at least), he ended up throwing his cards hard across the table, hitting the dealer in the chest.

This actually resulted in Cates being asked to leave the table, with the venue taking a firm stance on protecting its staff, even if it “wasn’t that big of a deal.”

We’re sure 'Jungleman’ will be back soon, as he actually accepted the decision without complaining, and repeatedly apologizing to the dealer as he gathered his chips, so props to him for owning his mistakes.

Charlie Carrel comments on Senor Tilt’s poker-playing skills.

Poker pro Liv Boeree joins Jim Rutt to talk about how she sees the world.

If you want to watch the interview with Boeree, with signature highfalutin language and concepts (which are far above my pay grade), dig in here.

We discussed the nature of personal identity across sleep, the teleportation machine thought experiment, consciousness as a self-aware story-threading entity, the “attention as cursor of consciousness” framing, Jim’s memory-competition theory of attention, Gerald Edelman and Daniel Dennett as proponents of competitive models, the Telepathy Tapes podcast and nonverbal autistic children, Donald Hoffman’s view that consciousness is foundational, panpsychism and the “radio tuner” model, Liv’s poker premonition story and a $1,700,000 tournament win, two flavors of consciousness and psychedelics as a way of dialing into different frequencies, poker as spanning pure luck to pure skill, the data revolution in poker and the rise of game-theory robots, poker as an egregore and the idea that “the game is playing me,” probability at micro vs. macro scales, egregores defined as beings in meme space, Moloch as the personification of multipolar traps, Instagram face filters as a micro Moloch example, the Moloch mechanism of individually rational but collectively destructive action, Scott Alexander’s “Meditations on Moloch,” the breakfast cereal Moloch as a case study, the three interlocked layers of the AI multipolar trap, Marc Andreessen’s techno-accelerationism and its blind spots, introducing “Norma” as the second negative attractor state representing centralization and authoritarianism, Moloch and Norma feeding into each other, psychopaths as first movers in Molochian races, the obligate psychopath concept, Elinor Ostrom’s work on managing the commons, zero-knowledge proofs as a win-win third path, Descartes’ philosophical origin of Western indifference to animal suffering, expanding the moral circle, the conditions of factory-farmed pigs and the economics of gestation crates, the health and environmental consequences of factory farming, cultivated meat as the win-win solution, and much more.

GGPoker will be sending over a thousand players to the upcoming WSOP Main Event.

Daniel Negreanu documents his run in both the $1K Mystery Bounty PLO and the $5K Main Event, giving viewers a behind-the-scenes look at life on the tournament grind.

Negreanu doesn’t shy away from the ups and downs, noting both the thrill of chasing mystery bounties and the sting of tough spots.

The video is a reminder that, even for the most seasoned pros, tournament poker is a mix of variance, patience, and a dash of showmanship.

If you’re interested in the realities of the circuit—both glamorous and not-so-much—Negreanu’s vlog keeps it real.

Love hurts, especially on the bubble.

The latest vlog from Rampage has him sitting at a final table, holding aces, and pushing all-in.

If you thought high-stakes poker was all nerves and math, this episode suggests sometimes it is just about getting the right cards at the right time.

He is quick to plug his Club WPT Gold promo code and PokerCoaching free trial, but the real story is how he navigates the final table with the best hand in poker.

Latest Mariano’s vlog is here, bringing some crazy action.

Mariano is back in action at Hustler Live, and there are no punches pulled this session.

The highlight of the night is the hand we shared here earlier, culminating in a $400k pot, so get your popcorns out, get comfortable, and enjoy it.

From zero deposits to Main Event champ. We’ve shared this video before but we are sharing it again.

Joe McKeehen’s rise to poker stardom didn’t involve any grand plans or cinematic moments. As he tells it, he was just a regular kid from Philly who started staying in and clicking buttons on online poker sites. He never deposited a cent, instead grinding his way up through freerolls and getting staked by others.

He built his bankroll from scratch, even finding himself over six figures in makeup at one point. Things started to click when he scored a $175,000 win during his senior year of college, enough to pay off his loans and start believing in a poker career.

The 2015 WSOP Main Event was more of the same grind, at least until Day 3, when suddenly he had all the chips and 'everything just worked.’ The defining moment came against Daniel Negreanu, the crowd favorite. As Joe remembers, 'They got it in. It was a flip. And Joe won.’ After that, he ran over the final tables and the rest, as they say, is history.

The 2026 U.S. Poker Open Event #9 features a stacked final table, with Aram Zobian holding a narrow lead over Brandon Wilson.

Chino Rheem is also in the mix, alongside Nick Seward, Marius Gierse, and Clemen Deng. According to PokerGO, Deng has the chance to overtake Brock Wilson for the overall series lead if he finishes strong.

As the table is set, $292,800 awaits the winner.

Poker Night in America seems to be on a mission: document every time someone’s soul is crushed by quads.

In this compilation, we get to watch Kelly Lucas (Minkin) take on Phil Hellmuth’s nut flush, Rampage Yau find quads in a five-way pot, and Shaun Deeb slow-roll Mike Matusow straight into a meltdown.

The video doesn’t just stick to the cash game chaos: Michael Tweedlie flops quads at a final table, Lexy Gavin gets quads on ladies night, and Maria Ho turns quads against Randy Lew. Not to be outdone, Chamath and DJ Washburn also make the list, just in case you thought it was safe to play a pocket pair.
