The World Poker Tour has launched an exciting new cash game livestream called The Victor, bringing a unique rivalry format to poker fans. Unlike traditional cash games, The Victor pits two featured rivals against each other over the course of 100 hands. The game uses $25/$50 blinds with pot-limit betting preflop and no-limit betting after the flop. Each rival begins with a $5,000 stack and is allowed one rebuy after the 50th hand if needed. At the end of the session, the player with the...

Canadian poker pro Chris Alcindor has continued his impressive run in WSOP Circuit and bracelet events, adding another standout result to his growing résumé and completing what many are calling a “hat-trick” of Canadian bracelet-related achievements. Alcindor, known online as PokinStaR, has been steadily building momentum across the Canadian poker scene, consistently putting up deep runs in major Circuit stops at venues like Playground Poker Club and Deerfoot Inn & Casino. His results over...

Many poker fans have been critical of Nikhil "Nik Airball" Arcot's game the past few years. Some think he's a fish, especially after he lost $1 million in little time in a heads-up contest against Matt Berkey at Resorts World in Las Vegas three years ago. But since that one-sided match, Airball has been crushing it, at least on livestreams. The self-proclaimed "King of LA," according to the HighRollPoker.com database, was down nearly $878,000 on poker livestreams in December 2023. He...

Two years ago, Kristen Foxen made it clear that her next major goal was to win a World Series of Poker bracelet in what she described as a "tougher" field, saying she wanted to capture one in “an event you feel a bit prouder of.” In Event #19: $25,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold’em, Foxen found exactly what she was looking for, and completely conquered it. The Canadian outlasted a field of 345 entries stacked with elite pros at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas to capture a historic sixth...

Jeff Madsen exploded on the poker tournament scene in 2006, winning that year’s World Series of Poker Player of the Year race after taking down two bracelets and making four final tables. While the then University of Santa Barbara student’s first two wins both came in no-limit hold’em, he managed deep runs in several mixed-game events that first year, placing third in the $2,000 Omaha eight-or-better and third in the $1,000 stud eight-or-better. Two decades later, Madsen is still a force to...

Yes like that. Poker villain and fan favorite Martin Kabrhel had an early exit from the $25,000 High Roller Six Handed No-Limit Hold’em event at the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP), lasting all but one hand to earn himself a "free afternoon." There were dozens of late registrants in Day 2 of the $25,000 buy-in event, and Kabrhel was one of them. But his second and final bullet would be short-lived as he tangled with fellow high-stakes pro Nick Petrangelo with a hand that he described as...

I decided to bring back a forum section for anyone interested in building poker websites and software. When we first launched PCF, we had a Webmaster Forum dedicated to affiliates, poker site owners, and developers. It was a great place to discuss site management, marketing, software, and the business side of online poker. This time, the section is here to stay. I've added it as a subforum within our Online Poker category, giving members a dedicated space to share ideas, ask questions...

But tonight’s broadcast changes that dynamic by stepping directly into the high-pressure world of no-limit cash games, where...

I’m thinking of hosting a freeroll on my birthday. It will be password-protected, and I’ll make a post where anyone who replies will unlock the password. I’m considering running it as a HOE game with a $75 prizepool. My birthday is July 8th, and I’ll be turning 37. I’ll also put a $37 bounty on my head! What do you think?

Inside South Korea's Hidden Poker World It’s midnight in Seoul, a city where poker exists in a strange legal gray area. South Korea maintains some of the strictest gambling laws in the world, making most forms of wagering illegal for its citizens. Yet despite those restrictions, poker has quietly grown into a thriving underground culture. While the country remains best known for its esports scene, countless players spend their nights studying Texas Hold'em, Omaha, and even Badugi, a draw...

There’s a special kind of pain poker can give you. It's not those normal pain. I’m talking about that pain where you stare at the screen after losing a hand and start convincing yourself the universe is personally against you. You replay everything in your head. Why did he call that? How did my flush lose? This game is rigged. Meanwhile, deep down, one tiny voice is whispering the truth: you misplayed that hand. Poker is funny like that. No motivational speech. No warning, it's just...

The long-running debate over poker greatness has taken another turn, as professional poker player Shaun Deeb recently suggested that Phil Hellmuth is fully aware of the possibility that his long-held record for most World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets may eventually be broken. Deeb, known for his outspoken personality and strong tournament results, commented that Hellmuth “knows deep down” that his record-setting bracelet total is under real threat as the next generation of high-volume...

For the first time in its history, the World Series of Poker (WSOP) will allow players to rate the dealers at the 2026 tournament. This unprecedented move aims to increase transparency, improve dealer performance, and give players a voice in shaping the in-game experience. Traditionally, the focus at the WSOP has been solely on players’ performance, strategy, and bankroll management. Dealers, who play a crucial role in maintaining the pace, fairness, and integrity of each game, have largely...
