How to get into the private PokerOrg WSOP clubhouse
Our WSOP lounge is opening soon. Wanna come?
Do you want access to PokerOrg’s secret WSOP bathrooms?
Do you want a private book signing with some of poker’s best-selling writers?
Do you want to hang out with some of poker’s biggest communities?
Do you want to play Werewolf with some of your favorite poker players?
Hang out until the end, and we’ll make sure you’re covered at this year’s WSOP.
In the meantime…whether you want the most insane news of the first two weeks of the WSOP, need to know how to find the best cheap hotdog in Las Vegas, or want to investigate weird poker tweets about Vegas murder…we got you.
Uh…you good, WSOP?
Wait…wait…is the Only Friends podcast actually coming back…and if so, did they announce it with a murder tweet?
And is it like The Chip Race podcast…rising like a phoenix with a WPT Gold logo on its wings?
It’s hard to beat a guy who knows he will earn an extra $1 million if he wins a tournament and you….don’t. Just ask the dude who ended up with a broken brain and then won $1 million anyway.
Ryan Depaulo just wants to degen in peace, but it ain’t easy when you’re anti-sweating Rampage and your wife is in your ear. Short version: Depaulo has risked two Main Event buy-ins on Rampage not winning $1 million this summer. GG, Ryan.
Jared Bleznick called it the “weirdest thing he’s ever seen,” and while the WSOP final table controversy was certainly uncomfortable, it was probably only weird in a 2025 poker way and not in the “I spent the day playing poker with Eskimo Clark or Sam Grizzle” kind of weird. Imagine if we’d had The Orgback then…
Speaking of the old days, PokerOrg’s Matt Hansen has been back in the stacks again and unearthed a trove of documents that show how the Poker Hall of Fame was born. Go get your history on!
How’s your PokerOrg Fantasy Freeroll team doing? Not as good as Team Schutten1, but it’s early, so don’t give up yet. Have you checked your score recently? If not, you should, because standings are moving every day!
Benny Glaser is single-handedly trying to wreck the fantasy experience of everyone who didn’t draft him. Two bracelets in the first ten days of the WSOP? Come on, Benny! Save some for the rest of us!
At least we know Benny’s name. Look at the (admittedly pretty cool) WSOP+ app and you’ll see a lot of real names…and then you’ll see names like Mr. Balls (who we assume did not receive appropriate consideration in the fantasy drafts this year). Question is…should the WSOP require real names for the app or not?
Adam Hampton has been doing some fuzzy math to divine whether the WSOPwill break all the records this year. If you enjoy statistics in the way Mark Twain did, we recommend this, the fuzziest of math.
If you want some real numbers you can trust, ride along with Sammie Gruberand Matt Hansen as they track down the Top 5 best and cheapest hot dogs in Las Vegas.
And while we’re on numbers, age ain’t one, especially when it comes to Tiffany Michelle’s birthday this week. But happy birthday, regardless, Tiff.
Sarah Herring is a busy woman, so she doesn’t have time for y’all milking your shot clock to the end every freaking time around the table. We’re in the middle of the WSOP, and your host of The Showdown has a lot of plates spinning. So, here she breaks down the first ten days of the WSOP in 112 seconds. Strap in tight and get all the news you didn’t know you needed to know…fast.
