Poker Twitter is never hotter than during the World Series, but with the 2019 WSOP well into its second half, those half-time refreshments are clearly kicking in. From tournament structure rage to personal vendettas, it seems like everyone has their second wind. Heck, even Tom Dwan has joined the party now…

DEEB PROVIDES PUNDITRY ON NEGREANU’S “C-GAME”

Never one to hide his light under a bushel, Shaun Deeb reignited his bitter feud with Daniel Negreanu during the $50,000 Poker Players Championship, analysing the latter’s play with this hottest of takes. Surely Kid Poker isn’t going to be happy about this level of criticism from a fellow player. Watch this space.

DWAN RETURNS TO THE RIO

Tom Dwan’s run in the $50,000 Poker Players Championship may be over, but it was a lot of fun while it lasted, for the man himself too, it seems.

LAPLANTING AN IDEA

You’ve probably heard the phrase ‘planting an idea in your head’, but in poker, that’s known as ‘Laplanting an idea’. Razz event winner Kevin Gerhart might be buying the drinks for his friend tonight.

A LITTLE PIECE OF HOME

Danielle Andersen just convinced her son that live poker is just about the easiest game on the planet.

DRINAN DEMANDS JUSTICE

Connor Drinan once lost with aces against aces in a million-dollar entry tournament, so whatever he feels is fully justified. Even this, actually… especially this. Light the replies on fire.

JESSE ADVOCATES NEW TOURNAMENT

WSOP Main Event runner-up (and still WSOP bracelet-free somehow) Jesse Sylvia has come up with a new event. Expect to see it added to next year’s schedule. Day 1z in the Chick-fil-A car park, anyone?

GOOCH STEALS SECOND, DEEB DRIVES FOR HOME

Jason Gooch is into second place in the latest Player of the Year top ten, with Upeshka De Silva usurped and Dan Zack now hanging on. But just look who’s in sixth place and rising, having survived to Day 3 of the PPC. Yes, it’s Shaun Deeb, knocking on the door of the Top Five and only a solid final table finish away from even higher. Can Deeb go back-to-back?
