It’s Back to the Drawing Board for the Loose Cannon on The Big Game on Tour

Things were looking pretty good for the Loose Cannon all the way up until the very last hand of the session, but leave it to Shaun Deeb to create some chaos.

Who is more well known, Phil Ivey or Daniel Negreanu?

Doug Polk wants to find out.

p.s. We voted Daniel.

PokerStars Ontario launch has been delayed!

Booo! Although we know GGPoker Ontario will be happy!

The WSOP may be underway but there are still online packages to be won.

Check out our article, which digs into all the online routes that are still open.

Day 7 at the 2026 WSOP saw the bracelet count jump from six to ten, with four new champions crowned according to PokerNews.

Philip Chun took down the $550 Mini Mystery Millions for $400,000, while Scott Clements added to his trophy case by winning the $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship. Clements now has four WSOP bracelets to his name.

WSOP footage vanished from PokerGO.

Pokerati reports that PokerGO has pulled all of its old WSOP footage after a rights transfer to ESPN, leaving diehard fans with empty playlists.

For years, PokerGO was the place to binge-watch everything from vintage Main Event episodes to niche mixed games finals, but that library is now gone.

“PokeGO held that entire library safely tucked away behind its paywall until just days ago, including Main Event episodes going back to the 1970s, live-stream Main Event footage from the more recent years, and hundreds of final tables played across different poker formats.”

The article highlights how this isn’t just a nostalgia hit; many players used these videos to study poker strategy and learn from past champions. With ESPN now holding the keys, it’s unclear when or if these historic moments will be accessible again.

The latest WSOP Countdown episode is all about who’s firing the most bullets in the $10K events.

The panel opens with Dimitar Danchev’s win in the $25,000 Heads-Up Championship, but quickly pivots to the GG Millions, where names like Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu, and Kristen Foxen are still in the hunt.

Norman Chad, never one to miss a rant, sounds off about late registration. He seems especially unamused this time around. The crew also throws out some predictions for the GG Millions, but most of the drama is reserved for a highlight from the Mini Mystery Millions and the usual dose of poker social media.

The final day of the $25,000 NLH Heads Up Championship at the WSOP brought together four hopefuls, all two victories away from poker glory.

Dimitar Danchev came out on top, pocketing $800,000 and a gold bracelet. Nikita Kuznetcov finished second for $528,000, while Ryuta Nakai and William Alex Foxen both took home $300,000.

$5K Pot’s latest upload chronicles Mike Matusow’s run in the 2026 WSOP $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha event.

The vlog gives viewers a front-row seat to the swings of tournament play, from clutch pots to the inevitable cooler. According to Matusow, the field was full of “wannabe PLO wizards” but he still found ways to navigate the chaos.

In the video, Matusow reflects on his table draws and offers a few pointed remarks about the tournament structure. He adds:

'You can’t win them all, but you can definitely talk about losing most of them.’

The latest PokerNews Podcast takes a look at that viral Phil Ivey hand everyone is talking about from this year’s WSOP.

Chad Holloway and Ben break down how Ivey somehow survived, with everyone else at the table scratching their heads. If you missed Alan Keating’s $25K heads-up match, don’t worry, so did he—turns out he didn’t show up at all.

Jeremy Ausmus also got denied a vlogger pass, sparking some debate about who gets to tell the poker world’s stories. Daniel Negreanu, never far from the headlines, took a bad beat, and there’s even time to celebrate the Mini Mystery’s million-dollar winner.

Which World Series of Poker predictions will come true this year? PokerNews enlists a historian to help.

Will more than 400 women play the Main Event? Will an American finally dominate a final table again? The odds, it seems, are as murky as ever.

There are plenty of questions floating around: will the GGPoker $215 Mystery Millions break its own entry record? Could someone win three bracelets, or will we be stuck counting the same old faces?

PokerNews digs in as to which predictions may come true this year.
