🇮🇪 In to Day 2 of the Irish Open.

Here’s a nice little round up from the action from Day 1.

But is that shirt tripping anyone else?

Just a reminder on this Founders Table offer from PokerStars USA.

Get in on the action before they become FanDuel Poker and take advantage of some great perks. Check out the article to find out your next steps in detail.

Mainstream coverage of the WSOP x ESPN deal.

What I missed the first time around was that the Main Event will break for 20 days before returning for the Final Table.

WSOP calling for content creators for this year’s summer series.

Where is the year going? Not before too long, it will be the return of the WSOP 2026, which kicks off in May in Las Vegas. If you want to be part of the summer spectacle, the WSOP organizers are hiring!

Foxen climbs, Tollerene conquers. PokerOrg breaks down the Triton Main Event.

Kristen Foxen set a new personal best by finishing fourth at the $100K Triton Jeju Main Event, bagging $1.45M and padding her already impressive lead atop the Women’s All-Time Money List.

Even so, the tournament headlines belonged to Ben Tollerene, who steamrolled his way to a fourth Triton title and a Main Event double.

Foxen’s run included a much-discussed preflop fold with pocket kings, a hand PokerOrg calls “a rare misstep” in her career.

Stake US is the latest sweepstakes poker site to say goodbye to Illinois.

After receiving cease and desist letters, Stake US is moving Illinois accounts to redeem-only mode starting May 19. That means no more games, purchases, or promotions for local players.

The company expressed regret in a message to users.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and we appreciate the time you spent playing.

Stake US has already exited 19 states, more than any other sweepstakes operator, and now only operates in 31.

The Irish Open 2026 is shaping up to be a record-breaker, and much of the credit goes to iPoker’s aggressive satellite campaign.

iPoker kicked things off earlier than ever, launching qualifiers in November instead of their usual January start.

iPoker, alongside Paddy Power, is set to send over 1,000 players to the €1,150 Main Event, one of the largest single-network contributions to the tournament in history.
