WPT Global Introduces QuintAce – an Integrated AI Poker Training Coach

The new AI-powered tool allows WPTG players to analyze their hands and sessions, find and plug leaks in their game, and go beyond GTO poker to exploit particular player types.

A $100,000 bubble has never looked so stressful.

Jeremy Ausmus takes viewers through the infamous $100,000 money bubble at the World Series of Poker. According to his latest vlog, the tension at the table was palpable as players tried to avoid being the last one out before the big payday.

Ausmus shares his thoughts on the slow play and high-stakes anxiety:

“You can feel everyone calculating every chip and every move, knowing one misstep could cost them a house.”

The video also highlights the psychological warfare between players, with some stalling and others trying to keep their cool. For those who think poker is all about luck, Ausmus shows just how much stress and strategy go into every hand when there is real money on the line.

Some big names are headed into Day 3 of the Main.

Who are you rooting for?

The underbelly of the WSOP.

If it’s not parking/ car park dramas, it’s long ass queues. Miserable.

When I first saw this I didn’t think it was real.

AI bluff detection built into ESPN WSOP streams. What do you all make of it?

What do you make of the new social media platform Alligator Blood, that is designed just for poker players?

Feels like there will be a hell of an uphill battle to climb, as we already have strong communities on X, Discord and then there’s 2+2, and Reddit. But if anyone can do it, I am sure these guys can.

All is forgiven PokerGO. Many poker fans were surprised to learn that ESPN’s coverage of the WSOP Main Event isn’t free this year.

According to PokerNews, the ESPN App, which carries most of the early Main Event streams, costs between $12.99 and $29.99 per month. That didn’t sit well with some fans, who assumed the return of ESPN to poker meant a return to free broadcasts.

Omaha Productions, run by the Manning brothers, is handling production. Early rounds are only available via the ESPN App, while the final table will get cable airings on ESPN2 and ESPN. Some fans have even apologized to PokerGO for past complaints, now that ESPN’s paywall feels even steeper.

“I just want the game to grow,” said PokerNews Podcast co-host Mike Holtz, disappointed that the move could keep casual fans away.

Tiffany Michelle is a must-follow account, and I’ve been enjoying her WSOP updates greatly.

But just reminding myself how hard her 2025 was. Utterly remarkable how positive she remained and IS. We could all do with being a-bit-more-Tiffany.

Part modeling video, part interview.

Jk. Alex Foxen in his own words on what is the true measure of success as a poker player.

Who would Jamie Gold want to play heads up?

His answer would make for one loud table, but I also want to see it. Please someone make this happen.

WSOP Player of the Year rankings as of July 7.

The race is heating up, with not long to go now. I feel this year, it could be anyone’s.
