FanDuel and PokerStars want to set the tables on fire. 🔥

PokerStars/FanDuel is launching its first major tournament series on their new platform, and they are calling it the Ignite Series.

According to the official channel, there will be 88 separate events with a combined five million dollars in guaranteed prizes.

The highlight is the Main Event, which has a $500,000 guarantee. The series is pitched as a big move for the new PokerStars on FanDuel site.

Daniel Negreanu is back dissecting three hands at the World Series of Poker Europe.

With Annette Obrestad’s and Josh Arieh’s hands in the mix, it’s worth a watch if you want to recap some of the action from the series.

PokerStars + FanDuel is bringing the heat with their new series.

The Ignite Series starts this coming Saturday. Mark your calendars.

It guarantees $5 million, which is huge! Players in MI, NJ and PA — this one is for you!

Allen Shen just gave everyone another reason to play satellites.

Shen took a $75 online satellite at GGPoker and spun it up into a seat at the C$2,500 WSOPC Montreal Main Event.

Outlasting a field of 1,781, Shen pocketed C$605,000 and picked up his second WSOPC ring this year. The final table was no cakewalk either, featuring WSOP bracelet winners Pei Li and Brett Apter.

Woah, huge new “sports ecosystem” coming to the strip.

But with a $10 billion price tag, it ain’t coming cheap.

WSOP Europe merch still available.

T-shirts, hoodies and caps all on offer. Prices are in Euros, and we are unsure on US shipping costs. Just FYI.

Do you think big names like PokerGo and Doug Polk + crew are gatekeeping poker content?

I mean, it seems to me that Rob has a point…

PokerStars on FanDuel lights up the calendar with $5 million Ignite Series.

The tournament series runs from April 18 to May 4 and promises $5 million in guarantees.

As Anuj reports on pokerfuse, the series includes 88 events with buy-ins ranging from $25 to $1,500. The headline is a $500,000 guaranteed Main Event on May 3, which has a $300 buy-in and allows re-entries.

There are also two Sunday Dynasty tournaments, each offering a six-figure prize pool.

More tidbits on what to expect in Garrett Adelstein’s upcoming book.

This time he teases us with a $3 million pot story.

Taking a break from our usual coverage to give the Poker Industry PRO database makeover a shoutout.

This is the biggest overhaul of the PRO platform—which is the industry must-have for poker industry professionals—in the site’s history.

Believe me when I say it’s a big deal. Congrats to @pokerprojones and @anuj2212 for getting it over the line!
