Phil Hellmuth Pays Tribute to His Father

Hellmuth drops a very personal post, remembering his dad’s support through 34 years of WSOP trips, the 1989 Main Event win, and all of the bracelets. We’re all used to poking fun at Hellmuth for his many Main Event costumes and backing prices on his son, but this is a loss we can all relate to in some way.

One thing’s for sure. Phil made his father a very proud man.

All-In… with What?

Limitless is dominating the $2M heads-up duel, even though Andrew Tate’s flexible doppelganger has kissed him on the cheek just recently. But then, Monarch makes a call that has the entire high-roller community questioning reality, and wanting a game against him.

Hey, it was suited, right? Just look at Wiktor’s face on the river.

The Duel.com heads-up match ends, but not with the winner the poker fans expected. Monarch closes it out against one of the most feared online crushers alive, check-calling and making Wiktor all-in on the river.

After his massive loss to Jungleman, at least Monarch won this one.

A couple of days ago in Cyprus, Daniel Cates and Ossi Ketola played the most expensive heads-up in the history of televised poker.

Daniel Negreanu is Still Alive in Canada

Kid Poker is deep in the massive WSOP Circuit Main Event at Playground with seven figures on the line.

His opponent bets big on the river, and Negreanu's in the tank.

Ever had that sweet feeling knowing your opponent is drawing dead, but will probably call?

Punt of the Year or Just Bravery?

Sometimes you go for it, and instantly see your opponent reach for calling chips. Your tournament death is basically guaranteed at that point, but sometimes you have a few percent equity to hope for.

Guoyan Li goes for the turn shove, repping a flush.

Chance Kornuth goes for the turn call, actually having a flush. Painful viewing.

CoinPoker Announces $1M First Place Prize

Years ago, CoinPoker was barely able to offer a series with a $5,000,000 guarantee. Now, that's a single tournament.

For this one, they've added a very top-heavy prize pool, and guaranteed the winner a million dollars.

Who’s Talking Trash? Nicky P Obviously

Not many are fond of Nicky Palma, so it might satisfy some to see him lose at trash talking.

Will Givens has some good words for Nicky P in $5K Super Circuit Main Event, leaving one of poker’s loudest mouths pretty quiet for once.

Palma got to 3rd in chips later on though, while Givens busted in 33rd. It’s one of those “won the war but lost the battle” situations.

Player Hits $1,000,000 Mystery Bounty

This is why players love mystery bounty tournaments. Just one knockout, and you can luckbox your way into ridiculous money.

This time, it was $1 million over on Natural 8 (GGPoker’s skin for Asia).

DrAvocado pulls the top bounty in the WSOP Online Mystery Millions and has probably paid for a new car by the time you read this.

And it’s almost like Natural 8 has turned up the mystery bounty prizes or something, because it happened again, for $580,000.

Nicolas Godard goes from 1,336th place to up over half a million in a few seconds.

Interesting Approach to Coaching

One of Japan’s leading mixed game specialists is offering coaching, but it’s more like a Bruce Wayne and Ra's al Ghul relationship.

And, he has “no intention of selecting based solely on current strength.”

Koji Fujimoto won the $10,000 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw Championship in 2026.

He's now looking for five players who love the game, want to get on the world stage, and have tons of effort. As he says, the goal is Las Vegas.

Triton Triple Threat Mystery Bounty

Kayhan Mokri and Jamil Wikil are all-in, while Alex Anton has called, covering both.

The flop is a sick one, instantly giving sweat in all directions. Mokri can only laugh, because so many cards are a death sentence. Looks like he is out on the turn… but he still has a few outs.

Triton Four-Way All-In Bounty Race

Let’s see another wild hand from the Triton Jeju.

It’s Mokri again, in a four-way preflop all-in with Kiat Lee, Alex Boika, and Alex Kulev. Kiat holds Kings, and each of the other three have broadway Aces. Kayhan Mokri covers them all.

Triton Ace vs Ace Drama

Punnat Punsri and Jesse Lonis both get it in and hit their ace on the flop. Lonis leads, until the turn. ‘Hope it doesn’t come 5-4,” Mokri says, naming the cards that would have given him a straight.

And, Kayhan Mokri is more annoyed than anyone on the river.
