The good news is that we don’t have to wait long for the next season of High Stakes Poker because the seventh season begins on February 26th. The bad news is that several notable Full Tilt Poker pros won’t be involved this time around. It’s been reported that popular players like Phil Ivey, Tom Dwan, Ilari Sahamies, Eli Elezra and Patrick Antonius won’t be appearing in any High Stakes Poker episodes. The reason why is because they’re all signed by Full Tilt, and PokerStars has taken over as the official sponsor of High Stakes Poker. And even though their 27% …

It looks like Phil Ivey and Doyle Brunson will be sticking to online poker or finding somewhere else to live since they say the Las Vegas casino poker scene is dead. Brunson, who can often be seen advertising DoylesRoom, was the first to chime in about Las Vegas’ disappearing cash game action. In his blog Doyle wrote, “Las Vegas is becoming more and more a not very desirable place for a poker pro to live. There simply isn’t very many high limit games anywhere. What’s with the economy, the world wide tournaments, and the internet poker, the outlook for live …

Most players are perfectly content with the 33% rakeback deals that DoylesRoom offers. But the great thing about DoylesRoom is that they are constantly giving people even more reasons to be happy with their incredible online poker deals. The latest deal involves a bounty poker tournament where players can potentially earn a bounty worth $50,000! The way the Bounty Tournament at DoylesRoom works is that three players will be marked before the event begins. If you’re able to knock one of these pros out of the tourney, you’ll earn $1,000; knock two marked players out and you will get $10,000. …

Having the opportunity to play in a live poker tournament worth $100,000 is already great.  But being able to play poker in a tournament that’s held on the beautiful beaches of Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic is even better.  And that’s exactly where the Punta Cana Poker Classic is set to take place! If you’d like to get away to Punta Cana and play in this tournament, you can win a seat through DoylesRoom.  DoylesRoom is giving away prize packages for the Punta Cana Poker Classic that are worth $3,100 each.  The $3,100 includes the $1,100 Main Event entry …

Phil Ivey is one of the top internet poker players in the world as he consistently dominates the high stakes competition at Full Tilt Poker, and makes lots of money through rakeback.  Ivey is also one of the top casino poker players too, which is why the ARIA Resort and Casino Center in Las Vegas decided to dedicate a poker room to him. “The Ivey Room” recently opened with a $1 million invitation-only freeroll poker tournament that included such stars as Doyle Brunson, T.J. Cloutier, Barry Greenstein, Eli Elezra, Daniel Alaei, Erick Lindgren, David Williams, David “Chino” Rheem, and of …

As the face of DoylesRoom and one of the best live high stakes poker players in the world, Doyle Brunson is still living a great life at age 77.  Unfortunately though, things haven’t been all rosy for him since vampire bats have infested the casino poker legend’s Montana property.  If you don’t watch Billy the Exterminator on a regular basis, you should know that vampire bats are a huge nuisance when they decide to call your property home.  Vampire bats like to hide in attics and poop all over attic floors; what’s bad is that their feces contains ammonia and …

Poker players wearing sunglasses has been a stereotype within casino poker for years.  But PokerStars’ player Daniel Negreanu is one person who doesn’t like this stereotype….in fact, he doesn’t even think people should be wearing sunglasses at the poker table period! Negreanu recently spoke of his disdain for sunglasses on the popular holdem poker show High Stakes Poker.  He basically said sunglasses hurt the game, and that sunglasses aren’t needed to learn how to play poker.  The other people who were playing poker hands with him such as Doyle Brunson and Tom Dwan agreed that sunglasses aren’t necessary. Daniel Negreanu …

Not only is the Doyle Brunson 5 Diamond Poker Classic event named after the DoylesRoom icon, but it also offers players incredible amounts of cash.  In fact, last year’s 5 Diamond Main Event poker tournament offered players almost $4.8 million, and Daniel Alaei won the largest share of this money at $1.4 million.  This year the 5 Diamond Poker Classic is expected to be even bigger, which means it could eclipse the $5 million mark! And while the $10,000 buy-in for this casino poker tournament might be a little out of your bankroll range, you can easily make it to …

The “Brunson 10” is getting a little closer to living up to its name after deciding on a seventh and eighth member.  For those of you who haven’t heard of this elite group, the Brunson 10 is Doyle Brunson’s group of players who represent the poker room that carries his namesake in Doyles Room.  All of the players Brunson has picked so far are some of the best, young online poker players in the industry. Getting back to the new mystery members, Brunson chose four of the world’s best internet poker players before the beginning of the WSOP with Dan …
