Why Did a Competitor Kick Us Out of the World Series of Poker?
The poker table industry is fiercely competitive. While setting up a promotional event with Poker News at the World Series of Poker, we were mid-setup when competitors noticed the chatter. They came over, called their people, and shut our promotion down. Their justification? They claimed the dynamic was like Coke and Pepsi, and they simply did not want both brands in the same room.
What Happened When Michael Phelps Played Poker at a Super Bowl Event?
Celebrities love to get involved in charity poker events. During a Super Bowl event located in Atlanta, legendary swimmer Michael Phelps sat down at the table. He didn't just play; he actually won the hand, beating our representative to win a highly coveted Mike Tyson autograph photo.
Did a VIP Client Use Our Poker Tables for an Underground Ring?
When clients purchase a poker table, it is usually for home entertainment. However, one VIP client once bought a large batch of tables. A week later, the news reported an underground poker ring bust. While this event absolutely happened to that specific client, the bluff was in the location—the bust did not actually happen in San Jose, California.
What Was the Reality Show "Thirst Lounge" Like in the Bahamas?
The billionaire poker lifestyle is heavily featured on social media. Famous poker fan Bill Perkins selected 10 people for a reality show called the Thirst Lounge. They were given access to his yacht and a mansion to film poker content and execute a vacuum deal. The bluff? They didn't live in the Bahamas; they actually lived out in St. Thomas.
How Did a Woman Make History Winning Back-to-Back WSOP Championships?
Achieving victory at the highest level requires immense skill. One of the players in this game made history for women in poker by winning two WSOP championships (tournament rings) back-to-back within a span of just 48 hours, cementing it as her ultimate claim to fame.
How Did Phil Hellmuth React During a High-Stakes Cash Game in Houston?
Playing high-stakes cash games in Houston can lead to tense moments. During one session, a player interrupted a story being told by poker legend Phil Hellmuth. Because his story had already been interrupted several times, it seemed highly plausible that he had one of his famous "brat blowups." However, the truth is that he decided not to go off on her specifically; instead, he just seethed silently.
