Was wondering if anyone is aware whether or not WSOP-DDS results will be reported to THM..? @Kevmath (Or a contact outside THM that might have answers?) TIA

ICYMI: Michigan players can now join DraftKings multi-state poker games with Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The MGCB authorized the launch after confirming all regulatory requirements were met through the Bay Mills Indian Community. Read more: michigan.gov/mgcb/news/2026…






@Kevmath As a gesture of goodwill, the front desk has adjusted off all of the calls under one minute. Thank you for reaching out.





@anuj2212 @WSOP I actually heard there was one more female winner online but never confirmed. I think her name was Krista G or something like that.




I was able to stay for everyone's testimony and think there was a wealth of knowledge and experiences that were shared. We truly did our best. @ToddWitteles did a superb summary of everyone's testimony by person, so please visit his thread (which I retweeted here ⬇️) While there was a running thread that taxpayers must not be required to pay phantom income and the IRS should put that before Congress to revisit, speakers provided testimony addressing real economic and social behavior consequences of this rule. Speakers addressed the need for more guidance, because the law is difficult to implement - particularly (but not limited to) what is a "session." I was thrilled by the diversity of speakers, including but not limited to: - Representative Dina Titus - recreational gamblers (all kinds, not just poker) - professional gamblers (poker), including @Poker906 - Mike Vanaki, the Director of Government Relations at the American Gaming Association - a CPA (who REALLY knocked it outta the park, imo, and even included a great question applicable for stakers) - Katie Stone (@KatieStonePoker) provided some harrowing ramifications that Black Friday had as an example of why this 90% law will fall hardest on honest taxpayers. - Todd focused on implementation suggestions, such as defining "session" for each gambling activity Things I was not thrilled about: - 2 (or 3?) speakers were no-show and one had a call drop - the IRS panel didn't ask a single question



Hey guys, for the next six weeks I will be hosting a radio show on Sirius XM called Poker Weekly, every Saturday at 8pm EST on channel 82, Mad Dog Sports Radio. Sirius hit me before the World Series about a trial type run, and if they like it they will cultivate more poker stuff, which would give other players looks to grow the game we love, and make some dough lol. This is a great honor for me, I never thought I would be doing stuff like this. We have some great guests lined up, what I could really use from you guys are some questions, and some hands. A big part of the show will be breaking hands down people send in, or maybe at some point we take live call ins also. Either comment here, or if say we have an insane torch on our hands but we still would like some insight, feel free to dm me. Same goes if trying to be a guest, hit me up. Thank you so much, hope everyone is well and once again it's Poker Weekly, the next six Saturday nights at 8pm EST , Sirius XM radio (or the Sirius XM app) channel 82 Mad Dog Sports Radio let's work.
