ClubWPT Gold’s Gold Million tournament is coming back!

Gold Million will run again on April 5, according to a confirmation from ClubWPT Gold on X.

The last time the tournament ran, it absolutely crushed its 1 million SC guarantee, ending up with a prize pool that more than doubled the target.

It’ll be interesting to see what guarantee they set for the next edition and whether players can push it past the mark again.

That’s billion with a B.

PokerStars’ Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) has now awarded more than $1.5 billion in total prize money since the series first launched back in 2009. Yes — billion with a B.

The festival is currently running its 18th edition, with $45 million guaranteed this year. More than $15 million has already been paid out, pushing the all-time total past that massive $1.5B mark.

Pretty incredible for one of online poker’s biggest tournament series.

Just when you think you’ve seen everything on poker Twitter or X Poker…

You can always count on ClubWPT Gold to stir things up with a funny (and sometimes controversial) post. Their latest? Turning some of poker’s most well-known male pros into female versions of themselves.

The internet had thoughts… and honestly, the results are hilarious.

CoinPoker looks to be on a bit of a hiring spree.

Crypto-based offshore online poker room, CoinPoker, has added two more ambassadors to its roster, first announcing Abby Merk, who previously served as a BetMGM Poker ambassador. It has also brought on Argentinian musician and poker pro Alejandro “Papo MC” Lococo, who previously represented PokerStars.

The additions follow several recent signings, including Yohan Gilbert (“YoHViraL”), Mariano Grandoli, and Brantzen Wong, as the site continues to expand its ambassador lineup.

WSOP does listen to its players.

So yesterday, (March 8), Pennsylvania-based poker player Jeff Stellwagon tweeted that WSOP hadn’t adjusted its online tournament schedule for the leap-forward time change. His point: those events already run late enough for East Coasters.

Kevin Mathers quote-tweeted the post, and it turns out WSOP actually had adjusted the schedule right on time.

Jeff followed up, saying, “ Credit where it’s due,” WSOP did make the adjustment.
