It would be hard to top my favorite moments from the Big Game, because those moments don’t come around too often. I remember Kirk Morrison staring at Brian Townsend on a jack high board in the wintry night southeast from London, after Townsend had fired off a 3-bet before the flop and three barrels following. The bet was huge, and so was Brian Townsend’s reputation, and before...
There are rumors all over the internet about just how extravagant the party’s that Jesse May throws. At the last check we once heard how he incredibly got the Beastie Boys, Carmen Electra and Conan O’Brien all to perform at his MTV Cribs style soirées.
If It’s Gonna Be That Kinda Party…
So you must be curious to see how his last party held during the WPT...
Marvin Rettenmaier may still have a chance to pull it off, at least Jesse May is hoping so. If you’ve been keeping tabs on the Bluff Player of Year 2012 Ranks then you’ll have to agree that PartyPoker’s very own Marvin has had one heck of a 2012. Winning unheard of back to back WPT events along the way, earning some pretty impressive results and arguably benefiting from a...
I’m currently here at the WPT Prague which is on Day 1c (read all the updates here), and I just thought you’d love to hear all about the WPT Copenhagen. Well even though Denmark in November can be both cold and dark, having a WPT in my hometown was like waking up as a kid and seeing circus tents in the public square.

And sure enough,...
Of all the locations in which to play poker in Europe, the Aviation Club of France is without a doubt the most iconic. It is the temple of French poker, smack in the middle of Paris’ Champs d’Elysses, mere meters from the Arc de Triumph, open as a gaming club since 1907.
Awed By The Elegance
When poker was introduced there in 1995, it wasn’t long before the cash games burst at...
Yesterday we gave you some exclusive behind the scenes footage of our TonyG Vs Hellmuth WPT Malta Triathlon presented by WPTPoker.com. And remember whilst these two crazy kids are off shooting bball, larking around in the pool and acting like those parklife joggers who go round and round and round you could be raiding Tonys house of...
I have to admit to being surprised at the numbers that have turned out for the WSOP main event, but really I shouldn’t be.
Because I remember standing in the Pavilion room at the Rio only last year and listening to the crickets, which is exactly what it sounds like when three thousand people are all in a room playing tournament poker and the only noise is the clacking of the chips.

Two weeks ago the weather in Las Vegas was a balmy 84 degrees. Yesterday the thermometer tipped 108 and rising. You could fry an egg in Las Vegas, and plenty of peoples bankrolls.
Everybody always has the happiest dreams and the best of intentions on their way into town. Las Vegas beckons like a warming embrace. The town glitters with promise and gold. The WSOP offers fame,...
Tilt-A-Whirl
Tilt. Steaming. Out of control, the bonkers monster. By any name, tilt is not a good thing for a poker player. And until now, it’s been mostly misunderstood.
In his new book, mental game coach Jared Tendler deconstructs tilt to its vital elements and provides a recipe for combating the plague.
This is no psychobabble, this is no man sitting on a leather couch in an ivory...
It was really some kind of party. Every dealer, floor person, and half of the staff of the casino spilled across the lobby of the Hotel Kampinski Bratislava at 4am.
Mad Marvin Rettenmeier was banging out tunes on the piano while crooning in his silky voice.
The kitchen was opened and steaks were served. Beer, vodka, brandy, and cigars, they were all there. Roberto Romanello was happy to...
