FanDuel Poised to Take #1 in US Online Poker

EXCLUSIVE • PokerStars Exclusively on FanDuel enjoys another strong month in May 2026, nipping at the heels of market leader WSOP. It could lead the market as early as this fall — if it plays its cards right.

Day 7 of the WSOP Main Event is streaming live right now!

The day starts with just 62 players and stakes are as high as they get. Tune in and watch the action unfold in real time.

The Main Event introduces shot clocks for the final stretch?

It seems that the decision was made to introduce 20-second shot clocks for the final stretch of the WSOP Main Event (30-second post flop). This came as a surprise, and the general opinion seems to be that this will give a big edge to the pros who are used to high roller events and shot clocks, while putting pressure on all the recs still in the field.

Only a few dozen players left in the Main Event, but so many cool stories.

This year’s Main Event is certainly shaping up to be the one that we’ll be talking about for a while.

Aaron Barone sharing his thought after busting the Main Event.

Barone made a very deep run in the tournament, eventually busting in 65th place and pocketing $125,000. It was the biggest score of his career, but, like all poker players, he felt the sting of busting so close to the final table.

Yet, he’s grateful for the experience and for all the people in his life who helped make his Main Event run that much more special.

How to save money when playing poker?

Stop paying off people when you can’t figure out what worse hand they might be betting for value with. It’s a simple piece of advice, but sounds very spot on.

Another Daniel Negreanu vlog, another final table.

The WSOP is slowly coming to a close, and there are only a few more Negreanu’s vlogs left for us to enjoy. That said, Daniel is entering the final stretch on a strong note, making another final table in a tournament that pays close to $2.3 million for the winner.

A 15-minute tank for a pay jump fires up the poker community.

Is it every okay to tank for 15 minutes with a single chip. Does the fact that there is a $20,000 pay-jump looming make a difference? What is the right way to deal with these situations? So many questions, so few real answers…

Congya Zhang carrying the banner for the ladies in the 2026 WSOP Main Event.

Four ladies returned for Day 6 action, but only one managed to bag chips by the end of the last level. Zhang will be coming back today to continue her Main Event journey, albeit her stack could do with a double-up or two.

Ten big blinds and a dream!

Tod Brunson sharing some cool stories.

Todd is making a deep run at this year’s Main Event, with only a few dozen players standing between him and the bracelet. Of course, this is not his first rodeo. In fact, Todd started playing the Main a couple of years before he was legally allowed to due to his age.

The poker scene was so different (and really wild) back then!

The Darth Vader mask player reveal.

If you couldn’t guess it on your own, Chad Holloway revealed the identity of the mysterious player wearing a Darth Vader mask in an old poker picture. I wouldn’t have guessed Johnny Chan, but there you go – it was a different time!
