Phil Hellmuth has come out firing against “poker kids” who get staked in every event, in a recent interview. The Poker Brat was shooting out expletives left and right over players who sell most of their action and then are asking why he doesn’t come and play the super high rollers like what we see at the Triton Series. Hellmuth uses an example of “kids” selling as much as 80% so they can play the biggest events, but what’s wrong with that really? Nothing as far as most tournament players are concerned. How is he talking sense? If they are talking shit to him that he isn’t playing it sure ..read more

British crusher Stephen Chidwick and Germany’s Christoph Vogelsang were both pushing hard for ..read more

Allen Kessler and Shaun Deeb are back at each other’s throats again. This time it’s a perceived sly move over buying back action already sold at markup. This pair have a long history of falling out on social media. Most lately it has been all about Allen Kessler being a losing tournament player and Shaun Deeb reprising his role as the self-appointed markup police. The spat started innocuously enough, as it usually does. Kessler was replying to a poll asking what tilts you the most, stating “Scammers and general low lifes who always seem to find a way to be in action”. It took only a few hou ..read more
