Get some free Irish Open Afterparty tickets!

PokerStars is giving away some free $5.50 tickets to its Irish Open Afterparty series. Simply count the outs, respond correctly, and you’ll be in with a chance. It’s a complete freeroll and will only take you a few seconds (hopefully), so why not give it a go?

888poker has rolled out its latest Blast Cashback promo, letting players earn up to 50 percent of their BLAST game rake back between April 15 and 21.

There are three cashback tiers, starting at 10 percent for $10 to $49 in BLAST fees, 20 percent for $50 to $399, and topping out at 50 percent for those who pay over $400 in fees.

The maximum rebate a player can claim during this week is $500.

There’s no need to opt in, just play BLAST games up to the $50 buy-in and rack up at least $5 in rake to qualify.

Neymar Jr’s poker grind: so close to glory, so far from a cash.

Paul Seaton reports for PokerStrategy, the footballer followed up a Saturday win for Santos with a deep run in the PokerStars $5,200 Titans event. Despite making the final table, Neymar Jr busted in sixth, one away from the money.

PokerStrategy points out that poker has been a side interest for Neymar since his days at Barcelona, and he has even been signed as a PokerStars ambassador twice.

His Sunday run, though, was bittersweet—close to a big payday, but ultimately just short.

Did you know pokerfuse turned 15 today?

That’s a lot of online poker news over the years. Plus, it happens to coincide (to the day) with Black Friday.

No, not the massive sales day after Thanksgiving. We’re talking about the one when online poker in the US got shut down overnight, and the landscape was never quite the same.

Yeah, the timing on that was A1.

This was our write-up on it from 5 years ago 😱

FanDuel Poker is hosting its first ever PokerStars Ignite Series, promising a hefty $5 million in guarantees.

This is the largest tournament series PokerStars has run in the regulated US market and across North America. The action runs from April 18 to May 4, with 88 events and buy-ins starting at $25.

The series culminates in a $500,000 guaranteed Main Event, scheduled for May 3, with a $300 buy-in and re-entry allowed.

Players from New Jersey, Michigan, and Pennsylvania can get in on the action.

We knew the Irish Open was going to be big, but we just didn’t know how big.

It turns out, it was historic, breaking records left, right, and centre. Huge congrats to the team that continues to roll out an excellent series each and every year.

WSOP Europe finds its groove—and a new home.

Not every day do you see the WSOP Europe break the mold, but this year’s event in Prague was just that.

Marius Kudzamanas outlasted over 2,600 hopefuls to grab the €2 million prize and an exclusive WSOP bracelet. The festival itself was a magnet, pulling in nearly 16,000 entries and creating a €39.5 million prize pool.

The move from Rozvadov to Prague clearly paid off, attracting players from 80 countries, including familiar names like Shaun Deeb and Chris Hunichen.

WSOP CEO Ty Stewart summed it up best:

“We are absolutely thrilled with the phenomenal success of this year’s WSOP Europe, which has set new parameters for poker on the continent.”

Winners crowned in the Sunday Million over on PokerStars/FanDuel.

The Sunday Million is a wrap over on PokerStars and FanDuel, with the champions walking away with five-figure paydays. 👑

Poker study, minus the existential dread.

Johan Schultz-Pedersen gives you the elevator pitch for Octopi Poker, the study platform that claims to make learning poker less painful and more fun.

Apparently, you no longer need to be a math genius or have a bottomless bankroll to improve your game.

The debate rages on as to whether PokerGO is being too hard-lined with other people sharing their clips.

I, for one, think more is more. Let people share what they want, citing PokerGO as the source.
