WSOP Circuit Online Is Back with $1.4 Million in Guarantees

The new WSOPC Circuit Online series is offering 12 WSOP Ring events and a $250k guaranteed Main Event, while a half-price Sunday on Aug 16 brings the best weekly tournaments at discounted prices.

Latest on The Rail Updated 3 hours, 10 minutes ago

Tune in for the final Main Event skirmish tonight – the action will be streaming live on ESPN, HBO, YouTube, and more.

Only one player stands between Lucas Jumalon and the WSOP Main Event title. The 22-year old returns tonight with a chip lead over Finland’s Lauri Saaskilahti, looking to seal the deal and take home $10,000,000.

Lucas has been in the driver’s seat since the start of the final table, and tonight he’ll have an opportunity that most players who have played the game their whole lives can only dream of.

You can tune in for the live action on the WSOP YouTube channel, ESPN, HBO, Eurosport, and TNT Sports. Alternatively, if none of these is an option, check out the Winamax YouTube channel that has no geo-restrictions, but the commentary is in French.

David Baker is a fan of Luke Jumalon, and he’s not afraid to admit it.

Baker has had nothing but the words of praise for the young chip leader since the start of the Main Event final table, and he’ll be rooting him on tonight to finish the job.

Another game is coming up at Hustler Casino Live tonight.

It’s Wet Wednesday tonight on Hustler Casino Live, featuring many of the usual suspects!

Phil Hellmuth chimes in on the Poker Hall of Fame voting process.

One of the Hall of Fame members himself, Hellmuth took to X to express his disappointment about Shaun Deeb, Scott Seiver, and Ike Haxton not being inducted this year.

He explains that his votes went to these three and Jason Koon, and it is his opinion that all four deserve to be inducted. It is worth noting that Phil gave one of his votes to Ike despite of their squabbles over the years, underlining that HOF votes should be based on merits, not personal feelings.

Is poker coaching about transforming a player or working to expand on their strenghts?

While it may be a tempting idea, Alex Fitzgerald doesn’t believe that a poker coach should try to fundamentally change a player. He thinks that a better approach is to accept their limits and work within those lines.

Ana Marquez did a thesis on what now?

Hint, it includes the name Chris Moneymaker.

Amazing.

Recap: Jamie Shaevel’s bid for WSOP Main Event glory ended Tuesday with a seventh place finish and a $1.5 million payout.

About 45 minutes into the session, he raised nearly all his chips with king-six of hearts and was called by Lucas Jumalon holding king-ten. The board ran dry for Shaevel, and that was that.

😎 Ivor Parker has just become GGPoker’s full-time ambassador at age 100.

According to F5Poker, that makes him the world’s oldest paid professional poker player.

He started playing in 1940 at a pub in Boston, Lincolnshire and says he’s played all over the world, especially during the war. Parker claims poker today is far more strategic than when he began and credits the game for keeping him sharp.

Angela Martin, head of marketing at GGPoker, said Parker “perfectly embodies what the brand loves about the game.” Leah Hauer called playing with him “incredibly inspiring.” GGPoker is backing more than 50 festivals a year across most of Grosvenor’s poker rooms, with various rewards for qualifiers.

Recap: Rami Hammoud finishes in 6th place at the 2026 WSOP Main Event.

His run ended in sixth, but at least he gets to start his new job with a $1.75 million consolation prize. Current chip leader, Lucas Jumalon, sent him packing after a flush draw fizzled.

Recap: Han Feng finishes fifth at the WSOP Main Event.

It was a bad beat for the ages for Feng.
