Four players walked away from this Big Money Sunday with six digit additions to their bankroll with (annoyingly named) “0—–BM—–0″ taking home $168,306 from the monthly $1,000,000 Guarantee early Monday morning. It was an interesting day with only the big game finding players working out a deal at the end and every event crushing it’s [...]

2010 World Series of Poker Day 5: Brotherly Love

AlCantHang — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 18:47:55 +0000

That gives us six tournaments in two huge rooms and plenty of stories to track down. The $50,000 Player’s Championship final will the be the main attraction starting at 3PM [...]

AlCantHang — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 23:52:20 +0000

Many stories revolving around the world of poker seem to concentrate on the singular attempt to remove money or chips from opponents, degenerate gambling, or otherwise unhealthy activities.
