Breaking bad with Nick Schulman at the WSOP, & the bathrooms of the rich and famous
Schulman is a bad ass, Hellmuth fesses up, and Negreanu won't stand in line for a urinal
The first week of the 2025 World Series of Poker is finished, and what have we learned? Well, a lot, actually. We know no one is cooler than Nick Schulman, we never should have trusted Phil Hellmuth when he said he wasn’t playing the Main, and Daniel Negreanu will not be using the bathroom next to you this summer.
Oh, and, yeah…wow, y’all are really into fantasy poker this summer. That’s why we are, too.
What players have their own private VIP bathrooms at the WSOP? Well, there are the usual suspects…and then YOU if you check out our plans later this summer at the Horseshoe…
We have a massive number of Org members playing the PokerOrg Fantasy Freeroll and trying win a free $10,000 main event package for next year. If you’re among the players, keep an eye on the Fantasy Freeroll Leaderboard all summer long. At the time of publication Team Lowry Lads is sitting on top of the list!
PokerOrg is all-in on fantasy poker this summer, and we have a a team dedicated solely to tracking fantasy players and giving you up-to-the hour fantasy live updates for the $25K, ODB, and PokerOrg Fantasy Freeroll contests. It’s the absolute best morning read to check your teams every day.
Phil Hellmuth’s “I’m not going to play the Main Event” declaration was a publicity stunt?! No! Never! Fake news! Phil has an explanation for everything, of course…one that involves an army of robots sent to undermine his credibility. Anyway, yeah, Phil’s playing the Main.
Now to a real hero…this man went broke playing poker during World War II…and he’s still playing today.
We recently learned of a veteran stuntman named Dick Warlock, a guy who arguably has the most masculine name in the history of names. We only bring it up, because Nick Schulman has finally gone and done it. He’s become the now and forever coolest poker player who has ever lived. “Say my name,” indeed.
If you don’t like stories of people being luckier than you, avoid this head-shaker about the luckiest player in Las Vegas.
There’s “it’s a small world” and then there’s this story of two childhood neighbors…before they started playing poker.
You can’t keep a good man down…nor can you silence two good Irishmen who aren’t dead yet. Like a pair of phoenices rising from the ash, the boys from the Chip Race are back with WPT Global as a sponsor.
Heaven help us all, there is going to be a Baby Boy Spraggy.
You know what they always say…when you’re looking for someone to arbitrate a dispute about Maurice Hawkins, always turn to the arbitrator who recently has been in more Twitter/X fights than he has poker hands.
As everyone prepares for a summer of dealer complaints, Triton Poker’s team gave us this look at what it takes to be a real pro in the box.
We legitimately have no idea what “the first corn is always from the d**k” means, but if we’re gonna find out, we probably need to shuck our way into this episode of The Showdown with Sarah Herring, because she is the only one we trust with our potentially NSFW content.
