“… a data-point that has mired the perception of women in our great game in some quarters, giving ammunition to the standpat misogynists who would cling to bogus information if it supported their mossbacked worldview.” My new article about a bogus stat. vegasslotsonline.com/news/2025/07/1…
“Stone cold prick.” Well said @BuffaloHanks. Never a truer thing uttered on a poker broadcast. This contempt for a member of floor staff warrants a serious warning.

"...when it comes to feats of the mind, gender is absolutely irrelevant." by @mkonnikova Excellent. As usual.
My latest, on mind sports, gender, competition, and @LeoMargets's run in the WSOP main event, on the sub that stacks. Link below!
Great piece. Thanks for writing it @CaitlinComeskey ❤️
Are women’s poker events really more toxic than open fields? @CaitlinComeskey has a resounding answer — and it might surprise you👇 poker.org/latest-news/ca…
This final table and this crowd !! 🔥 Please consider removing the paywall, @PokerGO! The atmosphere is absolutely electric. The world deserves to witness these moments and see what the biggest stage in poker is truly about. #WSOP2025 #Poker #WSOP
The unofficial final table of the Main Event is set at 10 players! Players are guaranteed $750K. 9 players will lock up $1M and return for the final table tomorrow.
SO. MANY. STORIES!!! This was a full-blown history lesson in poker. Locked in with one of the greats and an incredible storyteller, @joebeevers or shall I say the original @TheHendonMob-ster had us absolutely rapt! Every hand, every hustle, every hero from the early days……
Huge thanks to the poker authors who stopped by the PokerOrg Legends Lounge this week to sign books and share stories. Legends on the felt and the page. 🙌📖 ❤️ @Stapes @obrientweet @PokerPowerBrain @krissyb24poker @GTOPoker @bcardin @pokerheadrush @LexyGavinPoker…
Leaving Vegas after a week but with three cashes—including a final table—and so much of it is thanks to @IanSimpsonPoker . His coaching was the only prep I did. I showed up confident, ready to have fun and to “put it in their eye.” Thank you, coach. You are the best ❤️.
Bluffs are for the table. The Truth Detective deals in facts. I will be signing copies of my @gpi shortlisted book today at 1pm in the @pokerorg lounge which is next to Jack Binion's Steakhouse at the Horseshoe. Come by, say hi. @WSOP #BookSigning @SouvenirPress
38 left in the @AriaLV Mystery bounty and we are truly battling.
