On the plane ride to Las Vegas I watched the episode of @mrd_on_cbc featuring @gerrydee & @RealKidPoker.
It’s from Season 2, Episode 9 (2013) and was available on Amazon Prime.
Pretty funny seeing Negreanu play himself but as a deadbeat, couch-surfing poker player. Show was really funny too.
Definitely worth a watch.
We’ve listened to player feedback and are pleased to confirm that eligible winners of qualifying WSOP Online Circuit events in both the U.S. and international markets will continue to receive a $5,000 WSOP Paradise invitation package.
These invitation packages are an added benefit funded by WSOP and are separate from online tournament prize pools.
Additional details about the 2026 WSOP Paradise program, including the invitation package and full event schedule, will be announced soon.
See you in paradise! 🌴
Main Event Final Table Rules Update
After discussions with players and tournament staff, we’ve made the collective decision not to use a shot clock at next week’s WSOP Main Event Final Table.
As outlined in the Official Tournament Rules, players may call the clock if they believe an opponent is taking an unreasonable amount of time to act. Tournament staff also retains the authority to call the clock, but we expect to exercise that discretion only in exceptional circumstances while remaining neutral.
If repeated or excessive stalling negatively impacts the pace of play, WSOP reserves the right to introduce a shot clock.
Our goal is to create the most natural playing environment possible, giving players the time they need to make the biggest decisions of the tournament.
Here is a behind the scenes feature of my new movie ICK that is now streaming on various platforms:
USA - Amazon Prime, Tubi
Canada - Paramount Plus
UK - Sky Go, Now
It's also available VOD in various countries.
It's a true indie, made off the Hollywood grid in Texas.
These players have defied the odds to reach the final table of the greatest poker tournament in the world.
Each is guaranteed $1,000,000. For some, ninth place alone would exceed their entire lifetime earnings. That’s true for the current chip leader. At only 22 years old, he was down to 7,000 chips on Day 1, bagging second to last out of 759 players (758th of 759).
NOW, Lucas Jumalon has more chips than five of his final table opponents COMBINED, holding 35% of all the chips in play.
Can the kid complete the comeback and win $10,000,000?! Or will four-time bracelet winner Michael Gagliano chase him down?
Meet the Final 9 and follow every hand LIVE from Aug. 3–5 on ESPN and the WSOP YouTube channel in select territories. ⬇️
@JoeSalOG@JoshuaArieh I don’t get sick of it at all
Super challenging and I like having benchmarks that matter
I go shoot 80 somewhere else it almost doesn’t even count for me
I like to try and break 80 at home
Amazing to me that FloJo’s world record in the women’s hundred meter dash of 10.49 has held since 1988.
Seems almost impossible that no woman has come along since, has been able to eclipse that mark.
If Jason didn’t take time off to raise his kids, and/or play cash games, he would have 12 or more bracelets right now.
He is one of the greatest all around tournament players in the world that many of you forgot about
Those that know, know
He is an elite mixed game player
Winning a tournament hits different. For @DenysChufarin, the rush of taking down a major tournament is a feeling cash games just can't match, even at the highest stakes.
