It’s All Down to the Last Hand for Andy on The Big Game on Tour

The Loose Cannon put up a good fight throughout his appearance on The Big Game, but, in the end, it all boiled down to the very last hand.

Greg Reymer is still going at it.

The 2004 WSOP Main Event champ is still in the mix, shuffling chips, pulling bluffs, and chasing after bracelets. 'The Fossilman’ has no plans of quitting any time soon.

Allen Kessler has some questions about the new Poker Hall of Fame nomination process.

It does seem like the players who are better known to the public get an upper hand, but it also gives fans an opportunity to be actively involved in the process. There are certainly pros and cons, but having fans of the game directly included should be a net positive.

It’s was just one of those days for Daniel Negreanu…

A whole new vlog from DNegs is here, and this one brings quite a rollercoaster of emotions, showing that poker, as fun as it may be most of the time, can get frustrating at times, even for the best of the best.

The Colossus final table is finally formed.

The Big Game on Tour’s first Loose Cannon for Season 3, Andy Taylor, had a rough ride through a table of heavy hitters including Shaun Deeb, Jason Koon, and Matt Berkey.

Ivan at pokerfuse reports that Andy did well to not lose more than he did, especially after a tough spot against Koon knocked him back to his starting $50k.

With the rules stating he could only keep profits over his buy-in, Andy found himself with just over $48,000 going into the final hand.

As Ivan writes, 'he reached the very final hand of the session, sitting with just over $48,000 in front of him.’ Despite some last minute action set up by blind raises and aggressive pots, Andy ended up almost exactly where he started.

GGPoker has quietly launched Escrow Trade, a new feature that lets players buy and sell tournament tickets, Cash Dollars, and other in-game currencies directly on the platform.

According to Anuj’s report on PRO, this move aims to reduce the risks that come with informal player-to-player trades that usually happen on third-party forums and chat groups.

The system works by holding the traded asset in escrow until both sides agree and payment is confirmed. GGPoker acts as the intermediary and claims not to charge a fee for the service. The company says this is a safer way for players to trade, noting that informal deals have often led to lost funds and other issues.

“While the poker community is largely built on trust, informal P2P trading carries real risk. There is no protection if the other party disappears, no recourse if a trade goes wrong, and no way to verify the person on the other side is who they claim to be.”

Players in the UK will have to sit this one out, as peer-to-peer transfers are prohibited there.

It is a final table that draws the best of the best, or at least the richest of the rich.

'The $250,000 No-Limit Hold’em Super High Roller represents the pinnacle of the high-stakes tournament scene, attracting many of the best players in the world to compete for one of the summer’s most coveted titles.’

For those who can’t make it to Las Vegas or scrape together a quarter million for a buy-in, the replay is the next best seat in the house.
